If you don't want to be perceived as a woman, I feel like step one would be not trying to date people who are openly and explicitly interested only in women

Except I think the non binary ppl argue their gender exists independently of their sexuality. Think about this: 00 - no gender (non binary) 01 - female 10 - male 11- dual gender (fluid) 00 - no sexuality 01 - androphilic 10 - gynophilic 11- bisexual 00,10 Non Binary Lesbian

Except lesbian is two women. That contradicts what non-binary is, therefore the two are at odds and cannot be true.

The point that’s being made is there’s a difference between sex (binary: M & F), gender (fluid), and sexual orientation. Their gender is non-binary, their sex is female, their orientation is lesbian. The confusion is whether orientation is derived from one’s gender OR one’s sex

"Lesbian" is very clearly and broadly understood as "a woman who is attracted to women." If you're not a woman, it's silly to complain if others refuse to refer to you as a lesbian, whether you're a man, non-binary, or any other sort of person who is not a woman.

I agree that the gender/sex, identity vs. anatomy mess mucks the whole thing up a bit, but if you are a person with female anatomy who absolutely does not want to be regarded as a woman, "lesbian" is a terrible term to assign to yourself.

While I’m not an advocate for neologisms in this big gender identity melting pot, it appears to be the only solution. In the interim, I can understand why “lesbian” was used as a proxy as they are attracted to others of the same sex, and both (presumably) have female anatomy

The lesbian community has existed for a very long time, and the expectation within the community is that if you're using the term, you're a woman who exclusively dates women. "Actually, I'm using it differently and you're bullying me" looks & quacks like manufactured victimhood

Frankly, you're setting yourself up for a lot of unnecessary drama when you're *clearly* relying on your anatomy to co-opt a label and then insisting that your anatomy is irrelevant to the identity that should be assumed when you take that label.
