Editor of US lesbian news site revealed to be a man
Source: Yahoo news

The unmasking of the author of the blog "Gay Girl in Damascus" as a middle-aged American man has led to the discovery that the editor of a popular US lesbian news site, Lez Get Real, is also a man.

The revelation that the editor of Lez Get Real, which was founded in 2008, was Bill Graber, a 58-year-old construction worker living in Ohio, and not a lesbian woman called "Paula Brooks" was made by The Washington Post.

So how many all lesbian bloggers really middle-aged men?

11. I heard a radio comedy skit
where a guy calls a LGBT political radio talk show, credit card in hand, seeking "hot lesbo action". It was hilarious. He enjoyed listening to the discussion so much he promised to call in next week. I think it was on something to do with The Onion.

6. I suppose
If (s)he's truly happier as a person that way, then yes. I've known a guy who felt that they were a woman but also preferred females. It was tough for her.

8. You're confusing sex, and gender, and sexual preference.
It's definitely possible to be a lesbian male... a person born with male chromosomes, but who identifies as a female who is sexually attracted to other women.

To clarify:
Sex is what your genetics say.
Gender is who you identify with.
Sexual preference is who you desire companionship with.

Add in the fact that none of the three are binary (you can be an XXY male, or an XXY female, or a genetic male with female genital formation, etc.), and there's a huge variety of possibilities.

9. Am I the only one who thinks that the guy's gender identification is irrelevant?
A man can never know what it's like to be a lesbian.
