Lesbian redefined

I have been happy to be re-educated today on the 'It Gets Better' TikTok account (238.3k followers, 162k views of the video) about what it means to be a lesbian.

One of the women behind Couplagoofs (two autistic women in a relationship) talks about how it's a misconception that lesbian = a woman who loves other women.

No! The definition is 'non-men who are attracted to and love other non-men.'

She warns against the women who gatekeep the identity and says there are in fact a zillion different ways to be a lesbian.

So that's me told and I wanted to spread the gospel further. I'm sure none of us non-men on this board would want to be behind the times.

I am so sickened that so many people swallow this ideology whole 😔

Have they actually defined what a 'non man' is though?

Nope!

But does it matter though? When you're a non-man, you're kind of nothing anyway? (Except, of course, if you're a male non-man, aka a woman, who is then worth something and definitely gets to enter any women spaces they choose)

This is what homopiobia looks like, but this time the call is coming from inside the house. Absofuckinglutely tragic
