So the reasoning I am reading is this: The cops used to arrest lesbians in bars when they wore pants. To avoid arrest lesbians, women who wore pants, tried to pass as men. Now because some lesbians, who are women, dress "butch" that means the word "woman" has changed meaning.
This was also written by a "nonbinary lesbian." Do they mean instead a nonbinary person who dates/has sex with people who identify as women?

The fact is, we can talk about murder and poverty all we want but I have experienced more things perpetrated by the queer community that make me want to end my life than I ever will from society at large. I am constantly booted out of spaces that should be mine.
