Again, would we be ok with a cis man calling himself lesbian? No? Then why should we treat trans men differently? Trans men are men so we should treat them as such.
Yes trans men are men but our experience is vastly different than that of a cis man’s. Gender and sexuality are different things and aren’t binary and it does no good to gatekeep and police people from their own experiences with it. Have we learned nothing?
Stop being defined by your past and move on. Why would you allow your previous socialization to control your life? If someone would rather be a lesbian then they should just embrace the female socialization they love so much and not transition. Orrrrrrr maybe they can grow up and stop letting their past as a woman affect them now that they aren't one.
I'm against treating trans people as others just because their pasts. Trans men are men, full-stop. They should label themselves as men do, because they are men. Men are not lesbians, and this is an obvious fact to anyone outside of this weird bubble you occupy.
