hello,
In my opinion this is a bit like the "all crossdressers are gay" generalisation.
I think that sex, gender and sexuality can be separated and are not necessarily binary.
Perhaps a postoperative trans-women could be a lesbian, but that is different,

Although I usually hate labels, I would have to go along with many of the other comments and say no a lesbian should be used for a female only
With this logic tho, people who were born male but identify as female and live as female but have male genitalia shouldn't be able identity as a female. If I'm born male, but I identify as a female and live as a female 24/7 but I have ZERO interest in men, zero interest in other transexuals, and only interested in 100% females.....what then would the "label" be for my sexual preference?Quote:

Exactly, it's that simple. If you see no problem with someone born one gender but identifying as the opposite gender because that's how they feel inside, then I don't understand why someone identifying as female shouldn't be able to call themselves a lesbian if they want?! There's literally no other term to describe their sexual preference.

Last night while dressed, looking in the mirror, felt as one for sure, always love women and always will.

I have always thought I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
Re: the original question, I have no idea but I've never been a fan of labels. Do what you want and so long as it isn't hurting anyone or yourself it's fine.
There's another thread in the transexual section about transbian.
In our broad and wide lgbtq....there's no rule. Remember that there's a sexual people and pa sexual too, so to be a trasgender woman and like sex with women is not weird.
Remember that as may be one of the few rules, sex and gender are not the same.
