You have brought nothing useful to the discussion, just insults and homophobic bigotry.

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.

No-one in that conversation denied the existence of anyone.

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.

I'm aligned against the homophobia and misogyny that is so popular amongst pseudo-progressives these days.

Those quotes were adapted from a real conversation on a popular social media site where the first and third contributors were punished for their comments (i.e. having them removed and receiving a ban), presumably by someone with a similarly censorial attitude to yourself.

Problem is that this is part of the huge wave of homophobia - and lesbophobia more specifically - that has arisen in recent years from pseudo-progressives. In order to uphold trans beliefs they've decided that, essentially, homosexuality is bigotry. Everything that's related to homosexuality as same-sex attraction is heavily censored and shamed.

The once common understanding that lesbians are simply female homosexuals and that you can't choose your sexual orientation is now often regarded as an attack on people with a gender identity. And no acceptance or even tolerance is given to lesbians who boldly assert their homosexuality and insist that it's entirely off limits to individuals of the male sex.

So if someone posts "lesbians don't want cock" paired with a vomit emoji, and someone else replies with "I'm a lesbian and other lesbians thirst for my girl cock" along with an eggplant emoji, and then someone else replies with "sorry, but no to all of this; males cannot be lesbian" - which of these, if any, are you banning as homophobic or transphobic rhetoric?

Or, are you willing to tolerate differences of perspective on this issue?
