So back when I did identify as a lesbian in the early 2000s, I use to get this shitty kind of attitude from other lesbians in my local community, mostly because 'I didn't look like a lesbian enough' so therefore I didn't understand since I could pass as straight because I look too straight to be gay.

Sounds wild now but that's what I dealt with as a teenager for a solid 4 years. Then one day things get so bad with one individual who use to shit on me with every opportunity that she had when she wasn't being vile to bi girls or the very few trans people that would come and go (honestly she sounds like she could be you, justifying being horrible with a mask of doing it for the right reasons); right in the middle of her questioning me actually being a lesbian that I just snap and say 'fine you win. I'm not a lesbian I'm queer' - and this of course gets right up her ass because one of her many rants was that too many women were abandoning the label lesbian and it was going to die out because of labels like 'queer' (and from what I see in 20 years on that still hasn't happened lol).

But from that point I started avoiding her and just stopped going to the so-called lgbt drop-in and found other places that were thankfully more supportive and diverse.

Many years later, how women identify becomes less of a problem to a point where the issue is pretty much forgotten - especially when trans issues come up more in the 2010s. Suddenly the same attitude on 'who gets to be in the community' that was thrown at me is turned onto the trans community, especially at people who were much younger than me when I was trying to figure myself out. I refuse to be part of the mentality that made me feel so worthless when I was younger, which cut deeper when it came from people who were suppose to be on my side.

I know writing this is a waste if time, especially for someone who is too pig headed to learn anything beyond their own hate. Yes there are men in the world who are harmful and need to be stood up against their attacks (there are also women too who are vicious in the same way - but that just pokes little holes in your argument) But in the same vein there are trans people who are killed for being themselves, by strangers and love ones, and they need support the same way as their queer, gay, bi, asexual and lesbian sibs. You can be vile and stay in your cramped box, I'm going to be a part of a community that wants to change attitudes and support each other for men, women, trans and non binary. it won't be perfect and it will have flaws, but its better than your useless bullying words.
I hope one day you'll grow up.
