Shout out to my fellow lesbians on this important week!

I will be wearing my lesbian pride badge right next to my trans pride badge for the whole week in all public spaces.

Are you a male to female who now identifies as a lesbian Shizuku?

Second question - do you believe that straight men who say they are women are also entitled to say they are lesbians?

Curious for your thoughts on this and your answers Shizuku because wearing a badge doesn’t make a person an ally to Lesbians if they also support straight men who demand lesbians to sleep with them.

It it’s lesbian week - take off the others and allow lesbians to have a week without any *

Bunbury would recommend that lesbian energy be put into more helpful causes than this thread.

In celebration this week:

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week! LGB Fight Back celebrates lesbians and stands up for lesbians by defending the original definition of lesbian: Homosexual female.

As exclusively same-sex attracted women, our boundaries must be defended! We are homosexual females. Lesbians are female! Lesbians ONLY love other women! We will NOT be misrepresented, gaslit, or sexually coerced!

According to transgenderists, lesbians need conversion therapy to help us “reexamine our genital preferences.” LGB Fight Back says NO! Transgenderism is anti-lesbian. Get The L Out UK’s “Lesbians at Ground Zero” pamphlet shows the effects of #CottonCeiling rhetoric in first person accounts. www.gettheloutuk.com/blog/category/research/lesbians-at-ground-zero.html

Transgenderism hurts lesbians in more ways than one. Read Katie Herzog’s “Where Have All the Lesbians Gone?”. “What do we lose when lesbians disappear? Everything. We lose our name. We lose our sense of self. We lose our ability to gather.” andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/where-have-all-the-lesbians-gone-0a7

LGB Fight Back rejects transgenderism, which is the new face of homophobia. TQ+ is not LGB, and it is not homophobic to oppose the TQ+. It is vital to the survival of the lesbian community that our boundaries be maintained. Join LGB Fight back in celebrating and standing up for lesbians during Lesbian Visibility Week.

You're not a lesbian. You're a transwoman seeking to validate your identity in what you see as an 'easy' target group.

Kid yourself all you want, we know who is a woman, and though we will nod our heads and pretend because it makes for less tension, we know.

There are no females with Willie's.

Serious question, did you wear your lesbian pride badge during trans visibility week?

Apple cake is yum. And that’s cake not just an apple.

Woo! It's been a fabulous week filled with lots of information and education around being a woman loving woman. I've got my lesbian pride sticker next to my trans pride ones too! Hope you have an incredible week 🤍

No, just a lesbian who happens to be trans.

They can say what they like, but it doesn't make them lesbians.

Just wanted to say, I know it's not easy for transgender woman during this time as a lot of hate gets drawn your way, especially during lesbian visibility week. However I just wanted you to know that it's super awesome how open and honest you are. No matter how much others will try to tell you otherwise, you are valid 🤍

If a anyone demands that you have sex with them, you should call the police.

Lesbians say no to the colonialists

That's so true! No one has to be with anyone, regardless of their sexuality so if they don't like transgender lesbians then they don't have to date them. It's that simple. Doesn't mean they don't exist or aren't valid women and lesbians.
