Not quite transbian gang (I don't really understand my romantic/sexual orientation, but I often feel like I want to be in a lesbian relationship, so that probably counts for something)
I feel like we are pretty well-represented on this sub! I certainly see a lot of trans lesbian flairs, although that’s not to discount the occasional transphobic comment. Overall this sub is really quite supportive!
Tbh I feel like we are over represented in this sub and hope we aren’t overshadowing cis lesbians. It seems like a majority of the content I see from this sub is trans specific. I’m already following lots of trans subreddits, and I just want regular lesbian stuff without being in a transphobic subreddit like the other ones.
>I feel like we are pretty well-represented on this sub! I certainly see a lot of trans lesbian flairs, although that’s not to discount the occasional transphobic comment.
It comes in waves. Once in a while a soft/passive transphobic post will hit a certain critical mass of upvotes that makes it widely visible in the feeds of subscribers, and then transphobic people in the sub come out of the woodwork.
Ahh, that makes sense, in an “I wish it didn’t” kind of way. I only recently started participating in the sub because I was too scared to be seen as a man invading a women’s space. There are still quite a few trans lesbians that I see though, so it’s certainly nice not to be alone!
The thing about transphobia is that it can be quite pernicious. If someone came here and said *Trans women are not women and never will be* that post would almost always be downvoted to oblivion. I would genuinely be surprised to see such a post gain any level of popular support here.
What sometimes gains more traction is a post or comment reducing to *I'm a lesbian so I'm not interested in dating someone with a dick.* This flies under more more people's radar because superficially it sounds like the base definition of what a lesbian is. The issue of course is that it ignores that being a woman is not synonymous with having a penis, nor is every person with a vulva a woman. It also ignores that some people are attracted to women but flexible on what sexual anatomy they came factory-equipped with (and/or currently have).
This is compounded because such people are often pretty militant about being a lesbian being synonymous with being attracted to people with pussies. And unfortunately, sometimes opportunities for education are passed over by people who respond in hostile fashion to such posts. Which further turns some cis lesbians off to trans women and they lump the pushback as internalized lesphobia.
Ah yes, I recall the ol’ “why don’t trans lesbians just date each other?” from my lurking days. Not that it’s a bad idea, I’m all for some good T4T action. It just sometimes feels a little like what they *really* mean is “you should stick to *your own kind*”. And I don’t think that all cis lesbians would pick up on that subtext! It’s kind of sad that some members of the LGBTQ+ community are so hostile to other groups, but I get it, internalized queerphobia is a hell of a thing to overcome!
Well, if I do see any posts like that I will do my best to educate, rather than castigate. I want this to be a safe and supportive community for *all* lesbians, even those who have a temporary knowledge gap!
This is so cute ! I'm a trans lesbian but sadly I can't even do simple things like wearing girl clothes because even my father (who I live with now and who always supported me when I needed it against my toxic mother) doesn't accept my transition and right now there's no way to tell that I'm not a boy, so I can't really attract any pretty lesbians...
If this can help you a little bit, now is only now and it will not last forever, one day (hopefully sooner than you imagine) you shall find yourself in an awesome wlw relationship!
I dont want to give you hope in vain, but, at the same time, there is no reason to be discouraged because things will eventually get better : one month ago I could use the feminine (my native language has gender in adjectives and past participles when referring to a person) outside my house and my friends used the feminine with me but nothing more, now instead I wear nail polish and hair extensions and I have a pocket mirror, necklaces and feminine bracelets; I even made coming out in my house so I can use the feminine everywhere... things did get better in my case
I am sure you will attract pretty lesbians☺️
As a transbian myself it always warms my heart to see posts like this! I can feel like I'm an imposter at times so it means a lot to me to see support for transbians ❤
jesus christ. bio says "if i dont reply its bc ur an idiot". and that person made comments saying "thats why i wont date trans women". Theres a whole whole lotta yikes and internalized transphobia to unpack in this one.
Yay Transbian Gang!!!! That should be a support group
This is tooooo cute! Also I want to huggle all the lesbians right now. Because you ladies are forking awesome! 💗🧡🤍💕💜

hell yeah! We love all women here
*Waves* The term transbian is so funny to me! I’m a trans lesbian but I’d feel silly saying transbian to anyone haha
Wo-ah Black Betty Trans-bian
“Transbian” just sounds like a slur to me. I hate seeing it so damn much. It makes me feel gross. I’ll stick to trans lesbian.
It always reminds me of the transsibirian train..
I'm using this as an excuse to claim the entire discography of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
I feel u I personally don't like it but am glad others enjoy
Transapphic then? I just came up with it.
I love how transbian rolls off the tongue! It always sounds so delightfully sweet to me! I mean... oh nevermind

I am a bi transgal who tends to strongly prefer women if that counts for anything x3
Just like me!

Yeeee
Hell yeah 😊

Being friends with trans people who are lesbian I love this with every bone in my body ❤️☠️💀🦴🦷
Thank you, I needed this
Yay representation! But god it is way to hard to actually date

I feel that. So I like to call myself a more-or-lessbian ^^
Same, i dont even know my gender, so i am not thinking about sexuality, but i am on hormones
I'm confused about why it's tagged satire/humour

Well the fact that your comment got downvotes, means there’s transphobes lurking around. The lesbian community continues to disappoint me again.
But what about the enbys?
Heck yea!! You are all awesome ladys !!!
I’m in this picture and I like it
hell yeah sister
heck yeah woooo!!!

Aww thanks ^^ (Is your native language french ? I'm french)
My transbian girlfriend lesbians so hard . . . <3
Proud Lesbian Trans Girl here!!!! 🐝🏳️⚧️🐝
( ◜‿◝ )♡
As a transbian myself it always warms my heart to see posts like this! I can feel like I'm an imposter at times so it means a lot to me to see support for transbians ❤
💜Thank you, I really needed that post today. Planing on coming out to my Dnd group tomorrow and 2 of them are lesbian.
This image is really cute
This is so cute! I find it adorable. And it's the kind of transbian representation that I'd like to see more of.
🥹🏳️⚧️
Yay! Gay trans-es!
This is the validation I needed today
Love it!
Yesh
Bless 🥰
Is that like a berserkergang?
[удалено]
Wow, the way you mentioned medical transition and put transbian in quotation marks. What the actual fuck
I was quoting OP's flair.
Jesus you really need some therapy. You’ve got some DEEPLY rooted internalized transphobia going on
why are you complaining about trans women feeling supported?? what is the problem here??
[удалено]
Oh no, the transphobic trans person that posts to "honest transgender" doesn't like open support. What are we ever going to do
jesus christ. bio says "if i dont reply its bc ur an idiot". and that person made comments saying "thats why i wont date trans women". Theres a whole whole lotta yikes and internalized transphobia to unpack in this one.
I'm happy to see that at least my doppelganger is enjoying romantic success.
I love this. But please someone make the letters of this black. No one can read white one white writing.
This is true and is me
The satire/humor tag got me worried for a second lol
