“Historically, trans men have been included in lesbian spaces”
Because, historically, cis people misgender trans people.
Which is why, historically, trans women have been violently excluded from lesbian spaces.
It’s the same reason. Stop pretending it isn’t.
You cover your eyes at the second one as if they aren’t both stemming from the same source.
Them misgendering you, and other trans men throughout history, for the sole goal of keeping trans women and other TMA people out, is not some positive conclusion after examining your character, nor was it an essential part of your soul discovered and found to be “good enough.”
You think you’re just some special good bean who was a good enough man to remain in lesbian spaces.
When in reality you and other “lesbian trans men” who came before you are some of the most cowardly, turncoat, backstabbing, selling-out-your-sisters asshole men, throwing their own community under the bus;
and clawing their way to power and inflated egos for being “cherished” (thought of as wayward women) and “welcomed” (as long as you leave the “real men” at the door)
I know you know deep down that you, as a binary man (in fact the exact same gender as a cis man) should not have taken trans women’s spots in lesbian spaces.
It is not a cis man’s AMAB-ness that makes him impossible to be a lesbian.
It is his binary male gender that excludes him from being a lesbian.
And it is your binary male gender that does the same.
