That's the problem with labels -- you can't rely on them 100% to be able to know how exactly a person identifies, as a lot of it is up to personal interpretation. Without an explanation from the person herself, you're filling the silence with your own assumptions, which may or may not be true. For all you know, someone who is bisexual may be just as likely to treat you as a girl as someone who is lesbian -- or more. My point is, I think you should always ask for the details of a person's sexuality before assuming that she's trying to undermine your masculinity. Just like you don't want people making assumptions about your gender, others don't want to be misjudged by their sexuality -- because that's rather insulting and small-minded, too.

THIS.
Another thing, but before i go into that, Your putting a whole group in here. Not every lesbian is like this and its not fair to judge someone or make an assumption because of their sexuality.
and the other thing, Don't avoid a group of people because of a theory you have, Its stupid. Don't avoid lesbians because you think they don't respect your gender
