If some/many lesbian women do not want to have relationships with trans women, for whatever reason, that’s fine. If a lesbian woman wants to have a relationship with a trans woman, that’s also fine. People should be able to love who they want to love.

I’m asking questions, probing & trying to understand. I’m challenging & putting alternative views. I’m not redefining or denying anything. I’m talking about my experience & listening to yours. I’m also listening to trans people including trans men. Difficult to see wood for trees

I think some of the very reactive comments towards ‘love is love’ comes from some really truly disturbing treatment of lesbians. I am a het female, but I have watched conversations that made me recoil regarding lesbians being bigots (that’s mild) for defining themselves as such.

It is very dissonant to keep reading about the apparent risk of erasure facing trans people when erasing lesbians as a distinct *sexual* orientation seems to be well underway as - apparently - a necessary part of full reflecting trans rights.

That looks to me to be the unavoidable logic of saying that we must not recognise any difference between "women" on basis of their biological sex, or even note such differences exist. Same true for men of course - though noticeably they don't seem to be facing equivalent argmts.

They don't seem at all exercised by this, I notice. Is that because transmen tend not to behave in the same way?

I’m a gay man & I’m exercised by the whole thing!
