lament the losses of lesbian bars and media outlets, "it's worth wondering how we might expect a dance party or magazine to cater to us when our identities and politics appear to prevent us from sharing a name." Julia Diana Robertson of AfterEllen, speaking on the word lesbian being villainized and therefore erased, argued that queer is being used in place of lesbian because it is without definitive sexual boundaries and is considered cooler, which sends the message to young lesbians "that if their sexuality doesn't leave room [for others], it's outdated, uncool, or somehow irrelevant. And that's just plain homophobia disguised as being progressive." Cauterucci also stated, "Lesbian leaves no doubt that a woman's sexual and romantic affinities run toward other women. In a world that preferences heterosexual pairings, lesbians face a very different reality than queers-in-name-only, giving the term the power of a blunt, plainspoken, unapologetic declaration." Mary Grace Lewis of The Advocate, arguing that lesbian is not a dirty word, stated that it "has been villainized in the media because [lesbians] serve no purpose to the people who control it." She said that lesbian stereotypes seen in the media are not representative of the term, and that women accepting that they are not sexually attracted to men should not fear acknowledging it or feel that it is limiting. She felt that the more the term is used, "the more girls and women [will] feel comfortable" using it and the less it can be weaponized. In relation to transgender people Butch lesbians and transgender men Some radical feminists say that transgender activism erases butch lesbians, by pressuring them to instead identify as trans men due to their gender nonconformity. A number of lesbians say that they were tomboys or experienced gender dysphoria as a child. Some younger lesbians report having felt conflicted about whether to transition, or felt pressured to transition, then later detransitioned. Tristan Fox of AfterEllen stated that today's "tomboys are pushed to transition", describing transgender activism as being "about lesbian erasure, gay eugenics, the genocide of lesbians." In The Stranger, Katie Herzog wrote that radical feminists use detransition stories to frame gender transition as a social contagion ("rapid-onset gender dysphoria"), and a "patriarchal attempt" to erase butch women. Herzog compares this with right-wing groups using the ex-gay movement to portray homosexuality as a choice. Herzog identifies increased visibility, social acceptance, and access to trans health
