Anonymous asked: I was wondering about your thoughts on: Can a trans* man identify as a lesbian. My best friend is a trans* man and has recently been rejected by the lesbian community (and these are local but well-known feminist/lesbians) and told he cannot identify as such. For me it seems that he should be able to still identify as a lesbian despite the fact the he no longer identifies as female. Thoughts?
