I’m talking about lesbians, including myself, who have been called bigoted and exclusionary for saying that, as same-sex attracted women, we’re attracted to women - not men who identify as women.

Saying that as a statement of personal choice when asked is absolutely appropriate and every women's/person's uninfringable right. If no one asks, why say it? I fought and won 4 gay transmen to be in sexual spaces/bars in SF, even though I'm not into transmen.

And because not being attracted to trans people is “discriminatory” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-PgHSZh6U&t=223s …

I just was turned on to Arielle, she's great. I was responding to you saying you're not welcome at gay pride. How? If a gay man said in his dating profile "only into white OR cis guys" that's fine. If he wants to carry a sign at gay pride saying that, maybe a problem.

Why is it maybe a problem if I go to pride and say I'm only into "cis" women?

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?

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.

Assuming no confusion, why would you need to state "cis-" on a placard at a gay pride event? Many gay me are racially exclusive in their attraction. Do you really not see any parallel, or are you just arguing? You know calling transwomen "males" is offensive, so why do it?

I’m only interested in “cis” women and I'm not ashamed of that None of my gay friends are "racially exclusive" in attraction, so that's news to me. Sexual attraction is about sex, not race Being told I’m a bigot for not being attracted to males is offensive, people still do it
