Inclusionists think “lesbian trans men” are valid because the split attraction model says words don’t mean anything anymore.

Transmedicalists go “ERM UH NO. Trans men can only be lesbians if they are ‘non-transitioning’!” 

Bisexuality includes trans people by definition

 The “bi” in bisexuality refers to the fact that bisexuals experience attraction to genders like and unlike their own. The sum of genders like and unlike one’s own is all genders, including nonbinary ones.  

The bi in bisexuality doesn’t refer to “attraction to afabs and amabs” or “attraction to feminine and masculine presenting people”. Bisexuality includes trans people in a way that respects their genders. STOP SMOKING CRACK. 

Bisexuals don’t inherently have a preference.

Artificial terms like “pansexual“ and “omnisexual” are unnecessary specifically because bisexuality already includes attraction to all genders with or without a preference. 

Split attraction model-derived coinages like “bi lesbian“ have like, five mutually exclusive definitions, all of them biphobic, lesbophobic, and transphobic and for that reason are also completely useless. 

Defining bisexuality as “attraction to two or more genders”, in addition to being utterly ahistorical, undermines our commonalities with gay people and lesbians (the fact that we’re attracted to people of the same gender) and conflates us with straight people. 

“bi lesbians” and “lesbian trans men” act like the inclusion of trans women in lesbianism is contingent on the inclusion of nonwomen. 

It seems like neopronoun supporters (they call themselves "gender abolitionists") want to throw away all the work the trans community has done to normalize they/them. They often say they're doing this on behalf of nonbinary people, but in my experience, the vast majority of nonbinary people are quite pleased with they/them and are equally distrustful of neopronouns, especially considering a lot of neopronoun users actively identify with their AGAB in ways that nonbinary simply people don't. "Cis people who use neopronouns are valid!" is basically gender abolitionist orthodoxy at this point, and I don't think nonbinary people appreciate being grouped with cis people.

As for me, I believe that nonbinary people are an integral part of the trans community. I don't think neopronoun supporters represent the majority of nonbinary people. Moreover, I don't even think that the majority neopronoun supporters are predominantly nonbinary. I've seen enough neopronoun supporters insisting that trans/nonbinary people can identify with their AGAB that, personally, I'm not convinced that "gender abolition" isn't entirely just a transphobic movement from the outset, that simply masquerades as a nonbinary movement.

I don't think bisexuals need to reduce nonbinary people's genders to their gender expression or AGAB to include attraction to nonbinary people in bisexuality. I think bisexuality can include attraction to an arbitrary number of genders, organically. 

If the bi in bisexuality refers to the fact that bisexuals are attracted both to people of the same gender, as well as different genders, then of course bisexuality includes trans people, including nonbinary people, in a way that doesn't reduce their genders to gender expression, or AGAB.
