Can I be a trans lesbian

Yep absolutely! You can be trans woman and lesbian. Lots of people out there just like you :) I’m a gay trans man too so it’s very possible.

Of course! There are quite a few trans lesbians out there!

Also 10/10, love the name Ava.

A huge number of the women in the trans community are lesbians

Yes. We are many.

Just cracked here, and can say I have no interest in men. I'm all about femininity, I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️

There are a lot of transbians out there. I count myself in that number. Also, Ava is a beautiful name. It would have been my trans name if I didn't love Ada Lovelace so much.

Of course you can be a trans lesbian sweetie. I mean, you're a trans girl and you like girls, right? Sounds pretty transbian to me 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, i think there are way more bi and lesbian trans women collectively than there are straight trans women (which does actually make sense).

Honestly, dating lesbians since I've been out has been so much easier than dating straight women before I did. I'm poly and currently dating two demi-girls and a cis woman.

Fellow trans lesbian. Your not confused women are just gorgeous! Men.. not

Gay trans man here. It's all good 💥

You’re only lesbian if you come from the lesbos region of Greece, otherwise you’re sparkling sapphic

Gender and sexuality don't contradict each other, if you're a woman and are attracted only to other woman then yes you're a lesbian just because you're trans doesn't mean you can't love people your way of loving, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pan all of those are how you feel attraction but trans, nonbinary, agender are how you identify

Absolutely sweetie! The lesbian community welcomes all WOMEN, and as we all know, trans women are women <3

Also I love the name! Very pretty name 🥰

AVA YES YOU CAN BE LESBISN

Yes you can

"I love women so much I became one" is quite common

THATS MY NAME TOO!! Yippee

Of course you can! You are a woman, after all, and loving other women would make you lesbian :)

Ava is a beautiful name❤️ My daughter is a happy trans lesbian, as is her girlfriend, so yes, you can be what you clearly are👍

Yes you can be a lesbian. A term in the community is transbian when you are attracted to other transfemmes.

Also Ava is an amazing name! It’s why I picked it

Yes, this is perfectly valid and I belive that a majority of this sub is trans lesbian from what I've heard and seen

Lots of us are transbians, yes; anyone who says you can't be both is an idiot and likely a transphobe.

yes

Ava is a lovely name and your alignments are both excellent and your choice!

Of course! If that’s who you feel you really are, yes! (Me: cis queer woman My partner: trans lesbian) Ava is a lovely name!!

Ava I really like it is good

Yap. Am one too

Say it’s called being a transbian

Hi!!! I’m trans bi

of course! obviously, trans people tend to have a much higher appreciation of the beauty of their own gender and disdain for heteronormative culture than cis people. it's only natural that a lot of trans people are also not straight :>

I am a trans lesbian.

Ava is an awesome name

Short answer, yes. Your sexuality, gender, and even gender expression can all vastly differ. You are you, and that's all that matters.

People saying you’re confused have no idea what they’re talking about

Of course. Being trans doesn’t mean you can’t be anything but straight. I’m a trans man and hella gay, I ain’t gonna pretend to be straight because I’m trans

Yes. Like half of trans people are gay

Welcome to being a transbian a place of feminism and fun 💕

It’s actually really common to realize you’re a lesbian after coming out as a transwoman. I personally know probably 12? Trans women who are lesbians? Im 34 and they’re like married to cis women and stuff. I promise you whomever is invalidating that is just wrong and doesn’t nullify their literal marriages.

The band Sludge Bunny are gay trans women.

I love being a trans lesbian, it's great! You can do whatever you want forever!

Welcome to Club Transbian. There are several subreddits and Facebook groups devoted to being a Trans woman who loves women.

Happily married trans lesbian here, we definitely exist. Trans women are women, so if a trans woman likes women, she must be a lesbian. The name is cute as hell.

Ava. You can do that. You certainly won't be the first.

Big sapphic energy if true

(Yes, of course)

I love your name!! I'm Eva, so I can be your dead-ringer!

Yes u definitely can, also yea I fw the name

100/10 and yep welcome 🥰

I think trans lesbians are quite common. I might be biased though 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely. Anyone that says otherwise is cringe

Yeah there's tons of trans lesbians!!! They've been around forever. The more you look at queer history the more you realize there are no rules!

No you are not allowed to

Yes Ava, you can be transgender and a lesbian. I know that I am.

Ava is a nice name.

Yes you can, I’m one myself r/transbians here’s a whole lot of others

Why would you not be able to?

Lesbian trans women outnumber straight trans women (and bi trans women are even more common), so yeah. Most trans folks are also queer in orientation.

Yeah. There are a lot of transbians out there. Gender is not defined by sexuality. Sooo... yeah.

Ayyva (also an Ava, 10/10)

Av,a you can be whatever the f*ck you want. We rewrite the system because it doesn't work for us. Also your name rocks!

Yes you can be both. Guess what. I’m also a trans lesbian and my name is also Ava :3 (so uh yea 11/10)

r/Gaytransgirls

Yes. Welcome to the club

Yes! 💯

I'm a Trans Lesbian. We exist.

Ava is also 💯

Ava is a beautiful name. Very classical and sounds so pretty! And lovey, you are a woman and you are attracted to women, you are 100% a lesbian. Dont let a single soul try to confuse your feelings.

Gender identity and sexual orientation are two completely unrelated things. You are allowed to be the gender that you feel like you identify with, and you are allowed to like anyone you want!

If you identify as a woman and are attracted to women and not men, you are a lesbian.

1 ofc it's fine my trans masc friend is gay your all valid

2 love the name it's so cute

The majority of fellow transwomen I meet seem to be lesbian. So I think yoh're fine lol

I’m a trans lesbian! There, I’ve said it! For the first time 🫢

no to the ava part

If that's how you identify, then yes! I am a bisexual trans woman, we exist too. 😊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Pretty transbian

I thought I might be gay for years. I knew I was LGBTQ in some form, but I’m not sexually attracted to men at all. I dislike the male form so much I got rid of mine. Even so, I tried sex with men but found it overall unenjoyable. I’m not sure why people like, nay put up with, kissing whiskers or beards. Scratchy and gross.

Of course, the moment I realized my trans-ness, everything clicked into place. I am a proud trans lesbian. I love women. In fact I was married to one, and we still love each other deeply. We’re soulmates, besties, ride-or-dies. But we divorced because she’s straight and no matter how she tried, she simply isn’t attracted to the feminine form. How could I argue against the other side of the same coin? And I can’t expect the love of my life to just give up sex entirely. The choice was crushing but clear.

But I am a woman, as I always had the mind and soul of one and now my body matches. Body + mind + soul = woman, ergo person = woman, for the bigots in the back. Not to say I wasn’t good at playing the part of the man, but the crucial distinction is this:

I am not a boy playing a girl. I am a girl who was playing a boy.

I looked somewhat like a boy (a small, high-voiced, unathletic boy with some intersex traits to my genetalia) and so I had that idea beaten into me by every bully over the years when I malefailed. So basically constantly. Yes, I have struggled with mental health and addiction. Being gaslighted by the world for 40 years will do that to you. Doing better now, sober nearly a decade now.

You go along to get along. I strive for excellence in everything I do. Being a boy was just one more thing on the list of Shit I Was Really Good At. With 40 years of practice at anything, you become a master. Or mistress as the case may be.

So a woman who likes women… I think that’s the dictionary definition of a lesbian. And yes, it’s not only fine, it’s wonderful! Well, as much as it can be in today’s world, but that goes for all trans people, not just gay/lesbian trans people.

I know FTM women whose goal was to be in a male gay relationship. I know several. They are happy. More power to them! I wish you guys all the cocks.

Do gotta watch out for the TERFs and the like. My strategy: I just assume that women will not be attracted to me. I don’t even bring it up. If it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen.

If one is, then it’s a pleasant surprise, and we may go have fun sexy time and possibly something long-term. If not, no worries, just meets expectations, but it’s practically impossible to be truly disappointed. IMHO, it’s the best place to be. A happy place, at least. That’s all I ever wanted.

Sorry, rambled into greater trans theory there but I think context is important in this question. I assume most of this applies to my FTM bros out there as well, but I can’t be 100% sure for obvious reasons.

Good luck on your journey dear. Believe in yourself, and trust your gut. You didn’t develop instincts over hundreds of millions of years in order to ignore them.

💖

If you’re a girl who likes girls, that seems pretty lesbian to me. Also Ava’s a lovely name 🙂

Im a trans lesbian too.

Yes, absolutely you can. You're a gal who likes other gal. Ergo, you're lesbian (btw, your name is SO pretty omg 10/10)

as everyone was saying yeah it’s possible, and ava is a really cute name :3 i’m trans masc and i’m omnisexual with a masc pref (and happily taken)

Crap now I need another name lol why is it so popular

It’s pretty common around here to be a transbian. Yep! The only confusion is people trying to force you to be who you aren’t!

For sure

Sexuality and gender are two seperate things

Ah yes, Ava.

Depending on the root language it means: Life, water, bird or island.

10/10 name for a transbian (transgender lesbian)

I'd say most trans women are lesbians, so yeah you can!
