I'd be happy to read up on this if you can suggest an appropriate thread.

I know *I* would never be allowed to claim lesbian, and have been told I am not one, so I am unsure how this conversation is going to roll. I think that is what the problem is, some lesbians are being erased, or at least their pasts are or something is going on.
It's being policed, it has been policed and I believe that is a problem. *ME* personally, I don't care anymore, I gripped dyke claws and all and no one is taking that too, my gender (Femme) isn't gonna be erased. I use gay, and queer, but I always feel like I can never ever claim lesbian because I may fit the noun version, but sometimes I don't fit the adjective cause I like to fuck/date across the gender spectrum.(unless you are cisgender male then no way)
It's a tough one.
