It’s a thing. And like it’s kinda awkward because sometimes these people actually are queer. It’s a somewhat common experience for trans people and ace people to feel like we’re queer before we figure out how.

But also you’ve got folks like the political lesbian movement, a thing that happened during the heyday of 2nd wave feminism where a bunch of straight and asexual women redefined lesbian as a rejection of men, began entering lesbian spaces and relationships and started getting really mad at us for “acting like men” [TL: expressing sexual attraction to women]
