What was once a call for gay rights is now a call for the erasure of same-sex attraction. Lesbians who voice their attraction for women based on sex - not gender ID - are called “exclusionary." A lesbian, who isn't attracted to men who identify as women, is a bad lesbian.
Presumably if my banner said, “Proud lesbian, attracted to women!” it would be fine, though? But adding that dreaded “cis” in there suddenly makes my same-sex attraction a problem?

"Proud gay man, attracted to white guys!"

I have no idea why you feel the need to bring race into this conversation. I certainly didn't. Sexual attraction is based on sex, not race.

If I were goddess and this is a real problem, that's how I would frame it: "Look, a lot of lesbians/questioning women are confused/feel guilty enough about their sexuality without being further guilt tripped into whether they are sexually open to transwomen."

I'm neither confused nor guilty about my sexuality. I know I'm not attracted to males, including those who identify as women.
