This is my general thought process on the matter, correct me if I missed anything, if I& #39;m wrong, or if I& #39;m overstepping my boundaries. Keep in mind I& #39;ve always identified as a binary trans women, but I& #39;ve been questioning if im nb.

1: Bisexuality, generally, is an attraction to 2 or more genders.
2: Nonbinary gender identities, being nonbinary, are not the same as binary ones.
3: This means nonbinary women are not the same kind of woman that a binary woman is. They are not "just women".

3: This means nonbinary women are not the same kind of woman that a binary woman is. They are not "just women".
4: If that& #39;s the case, that means attraction to both nonbinary women and binary women can be a form of bisexuality, making the microlabel of bi lesbian appropriate. It reflects the reality of that person& #39;s specific identity.
Some clarification: No identity made in good faith needs justification for its existence. Unless you can in good reason assume a label is actively harmful. (bi/pan lesbian exclusionists have not in my opinion raised any good reasons, which is why this thread exists)
Additionally; this is only one situation that some one may self id with bi lesbian or pan lesbian. Just because a bi or pan lesbian doesn& #39;t have the same experience as this doesn& #39;t make them invalid.
And because I ran out if space to add this, I don& #39;t mean to say nonbinary people can& #39;t ever tie their identities with binary genders, after all it is ultimately their lived experience that decides the validity of any id that expresses who they are.
and I don& #39;t mean to say that nonbinary gender identities are just parallels to binary ones, i used binary women as a specific example but this only includes the people who self id as such, naturally. nonbinay identities aren& #39;t as simple as that. (which is why microlabels are good
oh and as a side note to my first post here because I also ran out of space, ive been questioning if im nonbinary for a long time. its been something ive asked myself over the past year or so.
