What are Male Lesbians?

Male lesbians are man-alinged or in some cases Trans men who have a (queer) attraction towards women. Non-binary(/who can also be man-alinged) can also use the term, if they feel comfortable with it.Note: Do not call trans men, male lesbians unless they have stated they wish to be called that/ok with the label.

"Trans men are real men, they can't be lesbian!"

This statement, seems valid at the top of the iceberg, let me tell you.
It's not."Well why not?"Not all male lesbians are trans men, not all trans men are male lesbians, as simple as that.By saying this you are ignoring the fact that trans men suffer with transphobia from mostly cishets, but also, at times, sadly from the own lgbt+ community.
A trans man is no different from a cis man, but cis men don't suffer with discourse/harassment for their identity like trans men do.Trans men who feel connection/alignment or safety by using lesbian are valid, and gate-keeping that from them is transphobic in it self, specially to victims.

What about other male lesbians?

Other male lesbians can range from many different identities, from GNC/PNC, Neutral/women/agender-alinged, to multi-gender labels such as genderfluid or bigender as examples.Lesbian is a queer attraction to women, and has been that for years before exclusive term.

Q&A

-What about the term "non-men loving non-men/nmlnm" as just it?
Nmlnm has been considered to some/most enbys and some trans women to be enby/transphobic, due excluding trans women/women-alinged, and neutral/neutral-alinged, if they had connection/alinged with manhood in a way, along with misgendering involved.-Can male lesbians be M-spec?
Yes! Just like female M-spec lesbians, they can also have a split attraction model (SAM.)-Wouldn't lesbian be just neptunic then?
No. Cis men can use neptunic while they can't use lesbian, also lesbian isn't exclusive to just women, non-binary can also be the attraction, yes, but neptunic is any gender attracted to women and non-men/masc non-binary, and also note that lesbian's queer attraction has been older then neptunic.-Are there any terms that male lesbians can use?
Yes, in fact the flag you've seen through this carrd is a term called "lesboy"

*Note: majority of theses are for male lesbians (some being also for enby lesbians to use) to identify if they want to exclusively, but not all at the moment, basically any non-cis/non-traditional man/masc/boy identity may identify as lesbian if they have a queer attraction to women.
