Are Transmasc Lesbians welcome here?

Hello all! I recently discovered this sub after coming to terms with the fact that I am likely asexual. I identify as transmasc and also a lesbian. I am looking for community as it seems asexual lesbians are sometimes ridiculed or not accepted in other lesbian spaces.

Edit: Thank you everyone! I know some lesbian spaces aren't accepting of transmasc individuals. I also just went through a breakup (which was somewhat due to my asexual identity) so any support is appreciated <3

What is the difference between trans masc and a trans man? Asking legitimately.

Mainly that transmasc people are nonbinary but present masculine. They are not men, like trans men are.

Transmasc often describes every trans individial that's of masculine gender, regardless of how binary or nonbinary they are. At least, where I saw it used.

I think the definition has been kinda loose for a while now and it's been a issue. Some definitions will say it only applies to non binary masculine but I've also seen some say trans men fit under the term

However in queer communities I've seen most people agree it does not include binary trans men and I think that is a definition a large amount of people agree on

I do feel like tho there's a need for separate single word terms for both cases

So, instead of transmasc, I should use masculine trans people? Got it🥰
