I'm not an FtM but I have my own personal answer for this one. I don't consider myself a "lesbian" and I don't consider my wife to be "lesbian" (nor does she).

I am queer. I am not a Woman - but rather somewhere between male and female and I happen to have a female body.

Gillian is not a lesbian because even though she IS a woman - she is in love with someone who is not and is sexually attracted to a wide spectrum on the "butch" scale - but not bio male. (to her bio males have a different energy than FtMs / Butches / Gender Queers)

So I would say that not even all of those who don't ID as FtM consider themselves Lesbians.
