The other day I got a WhatsApp from a lesbian friend. “I’m worried lesbians are seen as anti-trans,” she said. This is someone who, even in her thirties, has struggled to embrace the word ‘lesbian’.
There is already so much shame and stigma around the word ‘lesbian’. In fact, the harmful stereotypes associated with the word have directly caused the majority (68%) of us to delay coming out. Lesbophobic tropes that we’re man-hating or unattractive are really just homophobia and misogyny rolled into one.
Several lesbians I know now say they feel torn about using the word – even though it’s exactly who they are and a word that describes them best – due to a certain narrative that we are somehow pre-dispositioned to be anti-trans.
As a lesbian, I’m horrified by this and it also just doesn’t add up.

Hey not all lesbian are dogs
Flagellating each other..
Just because a flasher moves from the kid's school bus stop to the girl's locker rooms and bath rooms doesn't mean they're not hurting children.
Americans are tolerant but NOT when you liberal bullies target our kids. Get off our backs - \You're not civil right leaders, you're perverts..
Ugh!
I identify as a Native American Black Lesbian.
Must be because I was born here, and I like collard greens and hot women!
That's how we feel
A person with feathers under their skin who poops on your floor is NOT a civil rights leader and if that person threatens to 'leave' you would cheer too.
“I’m worried lesbians are seen as anti-trans,” she said.
That’s silly. Lesbians are anti-men. It’s just that “men” includes “trans women”.
This is kind of like accusing a vegan of being “anti-chicken”. It’s a category error.
lesbians typically don’t like to be polled
Everyone hates bisexuals. They’re the kind of people who, when you say “what kind of music do you like?”, they reply with “Oh, all kinds”.
Exactly! They won’t open up for polling, so it’s worthless to even try.
Maybe, but tvtropes.com is a great website to waste a few hours reading.
A guy I worked with several years ago, long before trans was trans and they were just cross dressers, told me a story about the local lesbian bar. He and his gay buddies had gone to it. They got a cool but okay reception. The place was crowded as it’s Tallahassee, a place where no conservatives have been elected since Reconstruction. A cross dresser came in and hit on one of the lesbians. They chased him out with some physical contact that probably left bruises. (I gather that men who identify as women are attracted to women and are upset that lesbians are not interested. Not being interested is “transphobic.)
Yuck
A lesbophobic trope?
Is there a CDC approved vaccine for that?
They’re called TERFs and they don’t like fake women at all.
Oh no, not a trope!!
No. Not just no, but hell no.
LOL
I read it so you don't have to. /smirk
