So this is why during Lesbian Visibility Week, we celebrate and center all lesbians, both cis and trans, while also showing solidarity with all LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people. We want to remove any negative connotations associated with that word. I wanted to help create a narrative that shows once and for all that the vast majority of cis lesbians are inclusive.
