Please read my words more carefully. Nowhere in those two paragraphs am I denying anyone's existence:
> What was asserted is that individuals of the male sex cannot be lesbian. This is of course based on the understanding that lesbians are, by definition, female and homosexual. From this it is clear that no lesbian is attracted to males or their sexual anatomy.
> You say that you do not tolerate homophobic rhetoric, when actually - by stating your intent to censor lesbians and their allies from asserting the fundamental facts of female homosexuality, and prioritizing the sexual desires of heterosexual males who appropriate the language of female homosexuality for themselves - you condone and encourage it.
Of course people with a transgender identity exist. This is not in dispute. Relevant to the conversation I quoted earlier, it's abundantly clear that there exist heterosexual males who desire to be female, identify themselves as female, and want everyone else to play along with this fantasy by pretending that they are lesbian women.
Actual lesbian women are not obliged to accept this appropriation, though. If you censor their dissent while promoting the lesbian fantasies of those males, then you are encouraging homophobic rhetoric and are deliberately choosing to make a hostile and unsafe space for lesbians.
