Totally climbing aboard team LGB Alliance! However, as a lesbian my first priority is always going to be protecting the rights of my own community. I've also wondered how many straight men who are twaw would honestly consider dating a trans woman. My guess is close to zero too.

I have had brief relationships with trans women who are fully transitioned in a medical sense. I've begun but not been able to continue relationships with trans men who are fully transitioned in the same sense because they are too male, even if they are female at birth.

I used to call myself a lesbian because the only trans women I am attracted to are those who are fully transitioned, who look and sound and most importantly behave like women - where you wouldn't know until you got intimate and even then you might not know. I appreciate many on this board will not believe such a person exists.

I am gender critical, and once into the discussions about this realised that it was probably wrong to call myself a lesbian if I was open to relationships with people who were male at birth. But I can't call myself bisexual, even though that is probably the correct definition, because I am only interested in women and in males who look so much like women that they are indistinguishable a very tiny minority.

Turns out lots of bisexual men take that as a personal insult and the entire bi community thinks I'm a terf if I am not interested in men, or women who look like men, or men who look nothing like women. So my own orientation is error file not found and I joke that I want a flag.

I’m an old, out and proud lesbian. Am I transphobic if I don’t want to have sex with trans women?

But in seriousness that's fine - it's not about me. There will always be edge cases and there will always be grey areas, and I am protected in law if I am in a relationship with a woman or if I'm perceived as such - and frankly, that's a lot more than I'd get in many other countries.

I'm a lesbian, and no. Not pre-op or post-op. I also don't believe you can change sex, though I respect the right of everyone to present how they want to and to do what they want with their own bodies. Just keep out of lesbian spaces. Lesbians are same SEX attracted females.

Transwomen are male. If a women has relations with a TW, they're either straight or bi. They're NOT lesbian. WheresMyFlag the point is even if they have transitioned, they never look or sound like women. What is "woman" behaviour anyway? Talk about regressive attitudes.

Where did she mention butch lesbians? I assumed that "fully transitioned transmen" meant the beardy, breast removing type, not just butch. Log in to update your newsletter preferences. It's not absolutely impossible, I suppose, but very unlikely and only because theoretically I could imagine having a relationship with a very specific sort of man.

Certainly wouldn't date any trans woman who actually literally considered themselves the same as me as a biological one.
