Trans[edit]

Red Arobateau is listed under lesbian writers. Red was born female and transitioned later on and is now identified as a trans male. I know I will probably regret raising this issue, but in the world I live in, a female who has now decided she wants to be a male cannot by definition be a lesbian. A lesbian in my dictionary is a woman who loves women. If you're not a woman, you can't be a lesbian. I didn't say he's not a woman, he said it. I'm going by Arobateau's own definition of which gender he has chosen. Ya makes your choices and takes the consequences. You can't decide to be a male and then claim you're a lesbian. So, I would request we take Red out of the lesbian writer category and put him in whatever other category seems appropriate. 14Mehitabel (talk) 16:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
