Peter Boghossian discussed the claim “men can be lesbians” with four women and one man in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In this frustrating conversation, the confusion surrounding terms like “sex” and “gender” is on full display as the group tries to define “lesbian,” “man,” and “woman.”

Participants consider natal and surgically-produced reproductive organs, masculine and feminine characteristics, and personal attraction to transgender individuals. Diverse viewpoints are presented, but all participants agree that people can identify however they’d like. As one participant put it, “all that actually matters is that you can feel good.”

NO. Because MEN are NOT WOMEN, they cannot be lesbians. They can be men who "identify" as women, even while they retain their penises and testicles and all their aggressive male hormones, but they cannot be lesbians. To be a lesbian one must be a BIOLOGICAL FEMALE. I learned this in school, years ago, but sadly, as so many people today are illiterate, they really think they can magically transform into something they cannot, so you have people deluding themselves into saying, "Yeah, I'm a woman with my dick and balls, and I'm a lesbian now." LOL... reality doesn't work that way, but delusion DOES.

'Good' is not what most lesbians feel when they are told that they are transphobic for refusing to have intimate relations with men who claim to be lesbians.
