This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I had someone tell me "He/Him Lesbians" were a thing recently and they weren't referring to FTM Transguys either (Which I was relieved by as that would be a horribly offensive thing to call that crowd since a lesbian is a woman who exclusively is attracted to other women, and FTMs are NOT women.) Somedays I just don't know if I'm getting too old and set in my ways or if the world has just lost the plot.
These days I just kinda "nod" at things and go along with them even if I don't agree or understand, within reason of course. (i'm not going to let anyone take fucking dieting advice from a breatharian)
he/him lesbians is largely a historical teem referring to lesbians in the 1980s scene who would identify as (typically butch) women but go by he/him pronouns (see stone butch blues)
(but it's old enough that some people have rediscovered it)
The way you phrased it makes it sound like more of a sex thing than a gender identity thing
Unpopular opinion : once you start blurring the lines of what gender is, the straightness based definitions of things go out the window.
An FTM and MTF relationship is something alright. None of my business.
but, linguistically speaking, I don't think straight as a label applies to it, even though it's male + female.
it ties into the difference between someone being pansexual, and bisexual.
