That site makes me wanna throw up.

  • while lesbianism generally doesn't include attraction to men, some lesbians who feel more connected to older definitions of the term lesbian, and who use the Split Attraction Model, are attracted to men, and their spaces are just as real and important to the lesbian community

  • If one is to exclude non-binary men from lesbianism, they are endorsing in exorsexist behavior. Additionally, not all non-binary people feel comfortable being included under lesbian attraction, and that should be respected and validated.

  • The term specifically for non-men attracted to non-men is called faunic or daunic.

  • So, someone could be romantically a lesbian, but sexually pansexual, or any other combination. Many lesbians who use the split attraction model use this concept of lesbianism to define their orientation(s).

  • Many lesbians who are not into men face the same issue where men believe they can "force" lesbians to like men... However, while this idea has harmed and continues to harm a large part of the lesbian community, and it should never ever be encouraged to tell any lesbian that they "can like men" if they don't, that harmful idea does not stop the fact that some lesbians are attracted to men.

  • Bi-lesbians Pan-lesbians Omni-lesbians Straightbians

WTF is "exorsexist" behavior? I'm picturing something that involves brandishing a cross while yelling "the power of christ compels you!", rotating your head 360 degrees, and/or projectile-vomiting split pea soup.

Exorsexism sounds so badass.
