That’s great but can you maybe explain in more detail for us dumdums?
Because, as far as I know, lesbian means “woman who loves women” and non-binary means “neither man nor woman”. So how can someone be a woman who loves women if they’re not a woman?
AFAB, nonbinary person who identities as non-binary because they are fluid. I.e. sometimes a woman, sometimes another gender. Dating a woman.
I guess if we’re getting technical, they’re only a lesbian sometimes. But we don’t have a term for truly NB dating a woman. And they don’t self identify as male so they’re not hetero. So lesbian it is.
See? Easy peasy.
But this is why I stopped trying to make logical sense of it. I don’t need to understand that level of detail about a stranger, and I dont care who they’re fuckin unless it’s me.
Gender sillies usually just mean not exclusively a man or woman. So non-binary is really just another umbrella term that encompasses gender fluidity, the absence of gender, a mixture of genders, or genders that are separate from male or female. Most gender identities under the enby umbrella are some mix of those or other concepts. I think the term lesbian had a slightly more complex meaning historically but I don’t feel qualified to talk about that so I’ll go with the wlw definition in which case someone non-binary could be part female such as in a male/female mix or just a demigirl could easily be lesbian.

It’s best to identify as “lesbian” if it’s close to your situation, because there are a lot more brunches that way.
wait, the lesbians get more brunches than us bis? when did this happen
bi erasure, obviously
i just need to know if i need to pick up some gender fluid to get more brunch
Gender fluid was just mimosa. Going to brunch is how you get more.
dunno but if you need any you can ask any dude for that, most of them would be very open to it.
straight from the pineal gland? yessssss
I’m right here. (Bring a straw please)
In a practical sense, identifying as lesbian makes it clear who they are interested in. Who they are should already be understood.
Honestly, non-binary hetero would be considerably more confusing. I at least know with a non-binary lesbian that they like women.
Non binary asexual would clear everything up for the “Don’t give a fuck” crowd
