I have had to address respecting lesbian spaces in a mixed community in many different venues. I wondered if this thread was placed in the lesbian zone for the sake of lesbians or to encroach on lesbian space? Dunno. Only the OP can answer that.
I have often, of late, had to address what a lesbian is to people within the queer spectrum who need lesbian to be something other than what it is. And, I have to address the same issue with outsiders who mistake atypical femaleness for transgenderism.

Ascot was talking about life experience living as a butch dyke so how is that an encroachment on lesbian space?
Bolded portions: You complain about stereotypical assumptions about who you should be as a woman and lesbian, then a few paragraphs later talk about having to tell others what lesbians are or are not.
Do you not see the irony/double standards here?
