        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.

    You know that this happens all over the world, right?

    Or more to the point; the world is bigger than the USA. Really, it is, look it up. Get an Atlas. Yes, that is a book.
