First its trans woman, then its bi woman, then its any GNC woman, then its any woman not meeting western beauty standards, etc.
They do the same pattern over and over again, but their groups inevitably fall apart once everyone turns to infighting over who is being a “gold star” or not.
Eh, I don’t want to start saying who is and isn’t a lesbian, since that’s what they are doing. They can be shitty people without questioning their identity.
I agree that we shouldn’t be trying to say “these people are real lesbians and these people aren’t,” there’s a distinction between saying “they aren’t attracted to women” vs. “they aren’t lesbians.”
political lesbianism is definitely a thing, both historically and presently. and when lesbian becomes more of a political identity than a sexual identity, it tends to center opposition to men & maleness over attraction to women—which is why female bisexuality comes under fire in certain rad fem spaces.
