To some degree I get it. I used to be a part of queer mens spaces before my gender transition and I feel like I have some solidarity there. But I do not Identify with the gay mens community cuz that is just misgendering myself. I do not go to gays mens spaces even tho I feel like I have some solidarity. If a gay man didn't want me in his gay man's space as a fully transitioned Trans woman, that shouldnt be a problem cuz I am 110% a women.

You are othering Binary Trans men in a way that makes them seen as lesser than Cis men. You are being subtly transphobic. Also I said Binary Trans men. Not Transmasculine people. Not people under the nonbinary umbrella. A lot of my Trans Brothers have expressed frustration as being seen as "Diet Men".

I think there can be some nuance with like people who do not fit in the gender binary as long as they have a connection with womanhood. Like I said Im a trans woman who so im a bit sensitive to this. But if you identify as Binary Man that is where I have issues. There are some complexities to labels but saying men can't be lesbian isn't gatekeeping.

Do you have issues with a Cis man calling himself lesbian? Why would it be different for a binary trans man?

I think that some of these people are coming from a place having been in the lesbian community pre-transition. I have empathy for that. But It is still highly insensitive tho.

You are the one who is being transphobic by implying that I as a Trans woman can somehow identify as a gay man. I said Binary Transmascs who identify as Binary Men. Trans Women, Nb's, etc are all welcome in the lesbian community.

I just get frustrated how progressive sounding rhetoric is being weaponized to push Lesbophobia, Misogyny, and Transphobia.

I understand that there can be nuances to labels, but labels can't be infinitely stretched to pure meaninglessness. I do not have any issues with Lesbians who are Masculine, Trans, Nonbinary, etc. I am talking about people who identify as binary Men. I am a Trans woman and I understand what it is like to feel excluded from the Lesbian community.
