'ItalianGreyhound. Thanks for the link. I'm not lesbian but I have a male friend who is gay. He does not believe me that lesbians are having a tough time from transwomen.'
Firstly Tatty I'd say it is none of your male friend's business who lesbians sleep with. I very much doubt he would like me suggesting that I, as a middle aged women, would be a nice partner for him if I identified as a male or that he would be transphobic to deny me access to his dating pool!
Secondly 'I couldn't find anything online that even suggests this is an issue.' there appears to lots on line, you just need to know where to look.
'I apologise if the word 'transwomen' is not allowed. I have no idea of what other word I can use to distinguish them from 'women'. Should I call transwomen women and real women cis women?' You'll need to decide how to answer this yourself but for me, woman is just fine, I am an adult human female. Like a number of other people I tend to use the word female now, because that is true of me, has always been true, even when I was a girl.
At the end of the day I have heard people directly saying that women should not exclude anyone from their dating pool. This is bullshit. Women and men can do as they please in their private, dating, romantic and sexual lives. It's nothing to do with others who we include or exclude.
