#thats not to say you couldnt he/him or they/them me in lesbian centric situations tho- he/him lesbianism is a part of me also

I'm so serious when I say I'm not a woman, I'm a lesbian. Genuinely. I don't feel connected to womanhood in any way that isn't through lesbianism. To an extent, it's like... inherently, as a lesbian, I inherently will not be like straight women, I will not fit in spaces defined around male attraction, and I'm frequently overlooked by other women because of this. That othering of me and my experiences has lead to this almost inevitable state of like, clearly I can't be a woman because so many of these "universal female experiences" are defined around male attraction, so why waste my time pretending like I am? That's not even bringing up the ways in which being autistic impacts my view of my own gender! I'm a lesbian, that's what matters most above all else
