A comment:

My friend said she knows someone exactly like this........She claims she's a lesbian, but then says that she dates "people without penises." All of the people she's been attracted to are either cis women or transmen who don't pass yet....and she still says she's a lesbian. Something just seems wrong there.

No that's not wrong, that's just what homosexuality means.

It's also interesting how - especially on their own trans subreddits - they still recognize the need for language to separate males and females. There's a lot of borderline "terf rethoric" in those comments, about how "MTF's or nb AMAB's" treat "FTM's or nb AFAB's". It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

I had a moment about that comment too. So, OP was mad that her friend said she was a lesbian and actually is one? Uhh, okay.

The comment you quoted is so interesting. If you posted it in most LGBT subs you'd certainly be called a TERF for it.

Nailed it. Funny how trans rights activists still need vocabulary to describe people based on their biological sex in order to communicate meaning... it's almost as though it might be useful to have one noun to indicate people of one sex, and another noun to indicate people of the other... Wonder what words we could use...

Didn't Helen Reddy have a song about people without penises? I'm trying to remember its name.

Yesterday I came across a post by a trans woman claiming to be a lesbian

So, is it fine to doubt that transwomen aren't real lesbians now?

"Bottom" = let someone stick something inside you. Got it.

The language trans rights activists use is so demeaning.

Oh that's what they mean by bottom and top?!? So basically they're just asking each other who wants to be the "man" and who wants to be the "woman" Aright?? No wonder they're confused about lesbians not wanting a dick or gays not wanting a pussy.

Yes, this is exactly it, unfortunately. Just repackaged old homophobia. It sickens me to read.
