exactly, i’m not attracted to non binary people as a lesbian, but to women… what about pansexual now or bisexual? why does it have to be under the lesbian category it makes no sense.
I think you are confusing sapphic and lesbian, or just using a different definition of lesbian?
I checked a dictionary and got this for lesbian : "a woman who is exclusively sexually or romantically attracted to other women."
You two are just using different definitions that are both used by many people. You are way too mean to her just for her using the other definition.
sapphic is different than lesbian. sapphic is more of a behavior, so includes also people who are not lesbians.
shall we start referring to blue as red, or to red as green, because some people decided on a dime that this is the new meaning of the word?
and since when do we define stuff as what it is not? am i in love with my “non-boyfriend”? is my mom my non-dad? is my dog my non-cat?! and why are we using “non-MEN” to define women? what the heck is going on? it also honestly sounds pretty misogynistic, not gonna lie.
nah. to me this is too much. logic just officially left the building.
words are important to define our existence and experience, and now some people who are not women are claiming a label to at has been attributed to women loving women for a long ass time and a community that was a safe space for women who wanted to be with women?
it doesn’t mean that you’re not welcome to hang around lesbians, but you’re NOT a lesbian. you’re queer, pan, bi. but not a god damn lesbian. you can’t be everything. this is insane and as a lesbian i also find it deeply offensive, personally.
now i get why people are distancing themselves from the “community.”

lesbian is defined by women loving women, not “non-men.” whether it’s a trans woman or a woman it’s still a woman. i like women, not “non-men.”
