What I Am

But for some trans women, calling themselves a lesbian remains an uphill battle. And even now, I still struggle to accept that I can be both a transgender woman and queer. Sometimes, it feels like “lesbian” isn’t my word to use.



Some trans women, especially those who are late transitioners have lived life prior to transition in a male-female relationship.  After transition, they find themselves in a female-female relationship.  In this post, Diana quotes an article, in the Daily Dot, on the subject of the trans woman admitting to herself that she is now a lesbian but also the acceptance (or lack thereof) of trans women in the lesbian community.
