QuestionWhy is r/actuallesbians filled with MtF’s?

Every time I go on that subreddit it’s filled with transgender posts, shit I don’t even relate to. The comments are also filled with “trans lesbians”, I feel like we don’t even have our own space because men always invade it. And apparently we’re transphobic if we don’t want their “girl dick” and they call US the weirdos for having genital preferences and we should be more accepting of them.

I saw an older post where this TIM (trans identified male? I don’t fucking know these terms anymore so correct me if I’m wrong) was mad because lesbians were rejecting him because he had a penis and he made it seem like they were the evil ones for doing so and being discriminating. Ridiculous.

I checked r/gaybros and of course the gay men have their own space, no transgender nonsense anywhere. But not for us.

Look, I’m a 24 year old woman, just starting to accept my sexuality, and I feel like I have no lesbian community to go or belong to except here. It’s depressing honestly.

o/Lesbians is a space for lesbians to connect, thrive, and build a genuine lesbian community. We define lesbianism as homosexuality; a woman’s exclusive same-sex attraction to other women. Participation by non-lesbians in this circle is not allowed.

Along with our rules, we enforce the sitewide rules and guidelines.

No participation by people who are not both female and exclusively same sex attracted. Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
No slurs or pejoratives. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' used to refer to other women are considered slurs. Name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will also not be tolerated.
No bullying/ganging up on people. If the content is rule-breaking, report it instead of piling on.
Refrain from overgeneralizing your own experience onto others, or implying that what was true for you is necessarily true for all lesbians.
No criticism of sexual boundaries or relationship boundaries.
No content questioning one's lesbian orientation. Posts like 'When did you know?' are okay, but posts like 'What am I?' are not. We cannot tell you what you are. Similarly, refrain from unfounded speculation regarding the sex lives and sexuality of other women.
Gender-critical or trans-critical content lacking a lesbian focus will be removed.
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
No pornography. NSFW posts must be marked as such.
No selfies or other sharing of personal identifying information; no spam; and no self-promotion.
No using the exclusivity of the circle in bad faith towards/about the rest of the site, its content, or other users, who cannot respond if they've been misunderstood or misrepresented.
