Very shortly after coming out I went to this general queer event that had a pronoun circle. I was sitting next to a transmasc NB who was also at the event for the first time and we talked for a bit. After a while, the organiser of the local sapphic group (who had been present and paying attention during the pronoun circle) came over to us, remembered our names, and made a point of inviting the NB specifically to join the sapphic group, then walked off.
I felt awful, but I thought the problem must be with me, that I didn't pass well enough, that my voice was too masculine, that my makeup was bad, etc etc. Then, at the end of the event, the sapphic group organiser made an announcement, saying, "there's a whole group of women out there who I know are nervous about coming to our group, who are afraid we won't accept them, who are worried we'll exclude them, who have had bad experiences with sapphic groups in the past," I felt my spirits lift, I guessed the whole thing had been a mistake, I had misjudged her.
Then the payoff: "Yes, I'm taking about bisexual women in relationships with men, if that's you, please come to our meetings! We need more of you!" Several years later, I've still never been to a meeting of the sapphic group.
