"choosing to go with the historical definition"
that isn't how it's used now. using outdated definition invalidates lesbian&bi struggles. bisexuals struggle w/ bi erausure. lesbians struggle w/ the pressure to like men.

"attraction to women and some nonbinary genders"
n-b people w/ connection to womanhood are ALREADY included in lesbian attraction AND can be lesbians themselves (this also goes for man-aligned n-b ppl being included in gay male attraction)

"and more!"
even if every single reason to ID as a bi lesbian was valid (which they aren't), having bajillion definitions for one identity render that identity useless, since you cannot effectively communicate an idea without having to further specify it.

the only consistency of bi lesbians is an attempt to delegitimize lesbianism as attraction of women & fem-aligned nonbinary people exclusively to other women & fem-aligned nonbinary people
