    On one of my tumblr blogs I've been getting harassed by TERFs recently and one of them claimed that I couldn't be a lesbian because I'm nonbinary. I'm woman-aligned and I see a lot of posts saying that woman-aligned nonbinary people can ID as lesbian, but I don't know anymore. I am exclusively attracted to women and fellow woman-aligned nonbinary people, but what do you guys think?

    Of course u can! U can label yourself whatever the hell you want as long as you're being true to yourself and it feels right. Don't care about what anyone else claims.

    Ignore the haters and eventually they'll just stop hating and go somewhere else.

    Yes you can! ^^
    I believe you can call yourself a Lesbian if you like girls, oh and forget these haters (most of them might be insecure themselves and try to take you down because of it, so ignore them :wink: )

    If you're a female attracted exclusively to other females then you can call yourself a lesbian. Doesn't matter what gender you "identify" yourself with.
