Im a transgender man and I often hear people say that transgender men can be lesbians, this pisses me off. When I was in secondary school (high school if ur American) I used to be bullied for being trans, I was in a relationship with a girl and I’d get called a “lezer” or a lesbian as a way to make fun of me for apparently being a lesbian which I wasn’t, they did this to invalidate my identity cuz they didn’t agree with the transgender thing and would call me a girl and things like that, so whenever someone wants to say I’m a lesbian or I can be a lesbian it reminds me of how transphobes used that as a way to invalidate and mock me. I’m not a woman who likes other woman I’m a transgender man who likes women, and the women I date see me as a man and not as a woman, the women I date also wouldn’t say that they’re lesbians and if they did id leave them cuz then that just means they don’t see me as a man. Idk, whenever I talk about this I get called a transphobe, but imo if someone calls me a lesbian or thinks I can be one then I believe that thats transphobic.
