The only reason why places like ''actuallesbians'' can exist and create an illusion that transsexuals and ''nonbinaries'' are just as homosexual as actual homosexual women (or men) is the fact that these are online communities, nobody ever sees anyone else and does not need to come in contact with the reality of their beliefs. This could never happen otherwise. If two lesbian groups existed IRL, one consisting of a large proportion of males, and the other of 100% females, it would only be a matter of time before almost all women from the first group would have migrated to the second. And something very similar was already happening on Reddit with AL and TL. At this point AL is just a circlejerk about how much you like ~tiddies*~ and hate terfs. It's a very juvenile and thirsty-teenage-male typical approach to sexuality that you don't see on any other lesbian subreddits.

I feel so bad for young lesbians coming out in this toxic current environment where social media is their first point of contact and they're bullied into believing men can be lesbians.

I'm 16, and from ages 12-14 legitimately thought I was "queer transfem nonbinary" and went by "they/them" when no, I'm a femme lesbian. Tumblr convinced me that because I don't "feel like a woman" (whatever the hell that means), I'm obviously nonbinary. the current TQ community is incredibly toxic and harmful for young people coming out and is trying to convince them that unless you're trans you don't matter.
