Gender discord, maybe unpopular opinion(s)? 

I find it odd that "NB lesbian" is a thing.

Like, lesbian is a binary identifier? No? Isn't it a contradiction in tag? There are few times I'd readily agree with appropriation in queer spaces being a problem but yeah?

It's like putting drag under the T of LGBTQ. Drag's rather firmly Q? (not to say drag folks might not also be trans but Drag isn't trans.)

@Draekos this is gonna be some spicy discourse.

I'd say a feminine presenting enby who's primarily attracted to feminine people would be perfectly in line to call themself a lesbian.

I'd also extend that to more masculine presentations with the same preferences, personally.

We're in the territory where current nomenclature starts to malfunction.

@Draekos there are nonbinary folk who are women or girls in general
binary-associated terms are not strictly binary categories

@Draekos I think the idea is that the person using it is nonbinary, but considers themself more on the feminine side of things?
