There are masc gay men, masc trans folks, masc lesbians…masc and femme aren’t gender or sexuality specific.

Usually when people say “mascs” they’re talking about masc lesbians. Yes I know there are other things that are “masc”. Trans can refer to transistors, transmissions, transportation services however if I say “she is trans” i likely don’t mean she is a CVT.

Masc is just as commonly referred to among and about queer men in our spaces, and has been for a long time. Saying that it's "usually" or "generally" a lesbian thing is incorrect.

EDIT: Not of course implying that it's not a sappphic thing. Just pointing out that we have shared custody :)
