Thank you for your prospectives! As a mother of a same sex attracted daughter, it breaks my heart that she is repulsed by the word lesbian. She thinks it’s better to be a trans boy or gay. From a heterosexual perspective it seems so homophobic to me. I look around and can’t see the cool out lesbians that used to be everywhere 10-15 years ago. I want her to have a nice, healthy group of women to develop community with.
