It's been a while since I've ventured into r/actuallesbians but my god it is even more transbian than I remember. Almost every single user who has flair indicates they're trans and so many of the users without flair also bring up being trans because they can't help but make everything about them. Lots of mentions of "terfs" in the comments too and surprise, surprise it's by the transbians again there to remind any actual lesbians who may have mistakenly wandered in there that open female homosexuality is the one true cardinal sin not tolerated in r/actuallesbians.

I think all the actual lesbians have moved onto r/actuallylesbian

Which doesn't officially have a "no trans women" rule, but does effectively. I think that's the only thing stopping it from being banned by Reddit

I'm pretty sure actually lesbian still got trans, because they're everywhere and also usual lesbian stereotypes. I really despise lesbian spaces. They give me bad chills, dunno why, also the entire gay world has always looked bs to me, with gay pride and such. I suppose I'm homosexual who hates the gay community, it was always a community filled with ridicolous streotypes, even before, the queer made it worst. The facts I belong to it, for no choice of mine, doesn't mean I need to like it

I have always felt the same way. Never really fit into any of the stereotypes, and even got picked on by other lesbians growing up for being different or not looking gay enough. Now it's grown into a mega monster though. I tend to avoid anyone who looks like the gay stereotypes now, they're nearly always overly sensitive and political.
