Non-binary lesbians have always existed.

While the term non-binary was not officially coined until 1995, this DOES NOT mean non-binary lesbians did not exist before.

Lesbians have always had a unique and complicated relationship with gender due to heteronormativity in society that we were forced and taught to live by until we respectfully figured out our identities.

In the 1800s many lesbians were what we say is GNC, they often dressed masculine and went by he/him for their protection in society BUT also as their identities as lesbians.

This is not to say ALL GNC lesbians were non-binary. However, lesbians have often voiced their disconnect to womanhood in their lesbianism. Again, not saying all GNC lesbians or transmasc lesbians fell into this category.

When non-binary finally had a word to describe “outside the binary,” of gender, a lot of lesbians voiced that they had felt this way for many many years of their lives. They identified with non-binary once the essay, “In Your Face” was published. It gained wider use in the 1900s due to political activist Riki Anne Wilchins. While we didn’t have much vocabulary to describe relationships and identities within our communities, this doesn’t mean non-binary people did not exist. Language and identities grow in countries.

Non-binary genders (in different terms) have always existed within multiple cultures and places in the world. Western civilization had demolished and dismantled those cultures and terms due to colonization. Forcing strict male and female “only” to be valid and accepted. To erase other cultures and their terms and identifications have erased a lot of history. If you don’t see that, you are part of the problem and accept colonization as “truth.”

People need to be more aware of history of cultures, identities, AND linguists.

The point of being a lesbian is to like women, not to hate men. That’s like if I said that the “point” of being a gay guy is to hate women, which is obviously not true.

So many exclus are so hateful to anyone who doesn’t fit their strict label of what a lesbian is, as well as anyone who isn’t a lesbian, that I question if they’re even happy.

This is such a controversial take but here we go!:

Whenever I see someone defining a lesbian or lesbian attraction as “women and non-binary people” or “nonmen”, I have a lot of questions as to the true meaning.

Does your “women and non-binary people”/“nonmen” include AMAB non-binary people?

What about butch presenting trans women?

Does it include AMAB non-binary people who have chosen not to medically transition?

Does it include AFAB non-binary people who have chosen to do a “full” ftm transition and now have what would be considered “male” bodies?

Does it include masc-aligned non-binary people? What about masc aligned AMAB non-binary people (demi-men and such)?

Does it include AMAB non-binary people who choose to present in a traditionally male way?

How do you feel about trans men? Does how you feel about trans men depend on if they’ve medically transitioned or not?

etc…

A lot of the time it feels like when people say “women and non-binary people” what they really mean is AFAB/“female” looking people.

I hope all non-binary lesbians know that they're wonderful and valid and I love them and I hope they have a great day.
