amazighprincex:

and a lot of what this comes down to is that “nonbinary” is not a functional term and does not comprise any kind of coherent or cohesive identity or group of identities under patriarchy. it’s not a social locator

you could identify as nonbinary and have literally any relationship with patriarchy & misogyny (from having the power to exploit it to being exploited by it). the term itself doesn’t convey that information

this insistence on the fact that lesbianism is an identity based in womanhood + prioritising womanhood is because “woman” is a social locator, it’s a clear indicator of a specific relationship to gendered violence where “nonbinary” is not. “nonbinary” could mean anything

when we say that lesbians have to be women (of some kind) who are only interested in relationships with women (of some kind), we’re referring to a social indicator (”woman”) to get a reference to a social location (”exploited by patriarchy”). some self-identified nonbinary people exist in that social location (i.e., the ones who “can be” lesbians), but obviously not all do

insisting that any nonbinary person can be a lesbian is to open the identity to people who have the power to exploit women, which is… obviously the opposite of the point. that’s what we’re objecting to
