#Lesboy. I really like that too. I don't fully know what it means but I like how it sounds

okay so I've been questioning my sexuality for such a long time at this point and I've come across mspec lesbians. And, like. Yeah. Maybe I am a lesbian. I'm not going to label anything right now, I still gotta let it brew but yeah. I love that. It means so much to me, you know?

And I just fucking hate TERF's and radfems with a passion. All of this suffering, all of this confusion I've had to go through, and for what?? To keep your precious label as pure as possible?? Grow up. I'm a black, butch, dyke, and maybe a lesbian, who uses neos and he/him and I'm beautiful.

#lesbian #baby butch #black butch #butch dyke #mspec lesbian #mspec lesboy #Another thing #Lesboy. I really like that too. I don't fully know what it means but I like how it sounds #God labels are such a social construct and conforming to these rigid rules about them #Worst decision the community (or I) has ever made #Everyone is fine with genderfuckery until you touch sexuality #Then we have a problem #I just love myself too much to be scared of myself anymore

hi! i’m a bit confused at how a boy can be a lesbian? i know people can use whatever label suits them, but as someone who always takes things far too literally anyways i just don’t understand how it works really?

great question! one which has many long and complex answers. the shortest and simplest of which, sorta being: there are many ways to be a boy and a lesbian. (helpful, i know /s)

first off, i would like to start by saying a gentle reminder that gender is a spectrum. and so is sexuality. and yes, people can use whatever labels they think suit them, even if it does not make sense to others, because different labels will always mean different things to different people.

labels are another part of language, and language is imperfect. we may never be able to fully "accurately" describe the full range of any human experience with any language. language should not be used to control our experiences, it should be used as a tool to help us describe them in the best way possible, and that varies from person to person.

having said that, lesbian and boy/man are both labels. labels that many people use together to describe their identity and experiences. experiences that can and do, vary widely

whether you're a multigender lesbian and one of the genders your identity encompasses is being a man. or maybe you're a transman/masc who identified as a lesbian before you realized you're trans and you still feel a sense of connection to that label and sexuality. or if you're a nonbinary or genderqueer lesbian who in some way identifies as a man/boy.

this is just to name a few, but there are many many ways to be both a lesbian and a man/boy.

that being said, i am not a lesbian myself, and this is just the knowledge i've gained from existing in trans and multigender and lesbian spaces, and listening to those voices. (i did once think i might be a lesbian, but that label never truly fit me, personally. but i still hold so much adoration and respect and admiration and appreciation for the lesbian community)

so i strongly recommend going and talking to actual lesboys and other lesbians who are boys/men, and asking them about their experiences and what it means to them to be both lesbians and men. there are some great blogs and resources out there, though i don't know any names off the top of my head, sorry

but i do hope this helps, and gives you a base bit of knowledge and understanding. and if any lesbians who are men would like to add on, or even if you have anything to correct me about, that would be greatly appreciated 💛💛
