he/him lesbians

He/him lesbians refer to lesbians who use he/him pronouns despite the two categories being conflicting of one another.

Many people use examples of historical he/him lesbians to validate their identity, however they adapt and change the historic context to their convenience. For example; many claim he/him lesbians used male pronouns because they felt detached from their womanhood. However, the historical use of male pronouns amongst lesbians was STRICTLY for safety, so they could pass as a male to avoid lesbophobia during a highly
homophobic time.

person a) “he/him lesbians are harmful as they invalidate both lesbians and trans men.”

person b) “period!”
