Lately on TikTok, I’ve seen a wave of trans men calling themselves lesbians — and honestly, it’s really confusing. TikTok is full of people proudly claiming this identity, but I can’t help but wonder: how does that even make sense? A trans man is someone who identifies as a man, right? And a lesbian is a woman who’s into women. So if a trans man is attracted to women, wouldn’t that make him straight? It feels like the basic definitions are being flipped upside down, and for people who grew up understanding what a lesbian means, this trend just feels frustrating and contradictory. What’s going on?

First actual blog , when has it become ok for trans MEN to be lesbians?!?!

I've noticed that often non-binary transmasculine people (so basically transitioned to look manly but they're not identifying as a man) tend to call themselves that way. Which is, whatever to me I don't really care that much, but the thing is that they sometimes call themselves trans men for convenience of a shorter term, which causes this paradox to happen.

Tbh either it’s rage bait or I’m not woke enough for this
either ur one or the other 
From my understanding as a trans man, your a MAN he/him etc etc, so by definition u cannot be lesbian (non-MENNNN loving non-MENNN)
Being both invalidates both identities
THANK YOU!!
