butches aren’t ‘trans men lite’ and trans men aren’t some advanced version of butch…. stop conflating these identities bc while they might have had historical overlap they are still distinct & it’s harmful to suggest anything else

also? bi women are not ‘lesbians lite’. wlw do have a shared history but bisexuality is its own identity, has its own community, and its own culture and it’s important we respect that instead of just treating bi women like a watered-down version of lesbians which is something i’ve seen a disappointing amount of in lgbt spaces
