If gay men assume trans aren't going to eventually be attempting to colonize their spaces with homophobia in the name of "inclusiveness" then they've learned no lessons from exactly that having repeatedly happen to lesbian women.

I don't want to be pedantic, but "Lesbian women" is an oxymoron.

Yeah, but it felt weird writing "gay men" (cause gay can sometimes refer to homosexuality of either sex) only to just write "lesbians" at the end. Really, I should have just written "women", period, since trans people are invading women's health spaces and policing their language ("menstruators and cervix-havers"), not just lesbian spaces!
