I follow a lot of lesbians (or people that talks about lesbians) on Twitter and for the past few months I've seen debates suddenly surfacing about lesbians. Before I start, I must say that I express my opinions on this matter and if your opinions are different from mine, that's completely fine and don't consider this as an "attack" towards anyone!
I believe it first started with the he/him lesbians? Since I saw both sides of if they're valid or not, I was confused for a while about my own opinion about the subject but one tweet made me realize that pronouns doesn't have to be related with gender, it's more about how confortable that person is with certain pronouns. So if that person identifies as a girl but prefers he/him pronouns because they're more confortable with those pronouns? Then that's fine. I think a lot of this useful chart: The Gender Unicorn

"Pronouns can be a completly different thing from gender identity" and "pronouns can go with gender identity" are two things that can and should coexist.
I understand why people would think that he/him lesbians could be considered as transphobic, but I don't think that's the case unless that person is a special case and etc.
The new recent debate is about the bi/pan lesbians. At the very top is shown the bi lesbian flag. I had a similar confusion at the beginning, since I saw both sides. At first, without knowing much about the subject I was like "yes! everyone is valid" but then I saw more information about it and saw all the "wrong" about it. I won't go into too much details of why bi/pan lesbians aren't really good for the community, since from what I understand quickly, it's bi/pan girls who has a PREFERENCE for girls, but it's still just bi/pan? Here's a thread that explains much better about the subject:

I hope you learned a little about the matter and sorry I usually don't talk about such things in this guide, but I think it's something that should be known outside of the lesbian community :)
