...
None of them are actual female lesbians.
It's fine though because Lily Madigan is a lesbian. So not a lesbophobic list at all.
I wasn't going to make a thread about this until I saw Lily's response on Twitter.
Lily, as the awesome Magdalen Berns says, lesbians dont have penises. Ffs.

a lesbian mentioned only because she happens to be on a panel with two gay men and a transwoman.

She is actually bi - so as long as you like cock, Pink News acknowledges your existence.

That twitter feed is bonkers.

As is the list on which there are two women. One is a mother who took her child abroad for a sex change operation at the age of 16 and runs a group who encourage parents to medicate young children Hmm

The second is an almost afterthought - a lesbian mentioned only because she happens to be on a panel with two gay men and a transwoman.

I'm not sure about Hanne Gaby Odiele. While I know intersex groups have been asked to be left out of the trans debate, I do think that people born XY, but with androgen insensitivity syndrome, and brought up as girls/women are in a fairly shitty position, so if they are made (as children) to look like girls, and are treated as girls from birth, as far as I'm concerned they are the exception that proves the rule, and I'm happy to accept them as women.

What has Lily done for anyone other than themself??

He did contribute to the bullying of an actual lesbian who had to resign from her position - what a hero.

It is so obvious to me that the MRA/TRAs have infiltrated everywhere they can, and the reason they hate lesbian feminists so much is because they are the only group who stubbornly resist penis and penis owners.

They really don't represent lesbians or female bisexuals at all, do they?

Had a scroll through the timeline of Pink News and about 90% of images / articles were about males.

Also, what do they count as a 'hero'? In my mind, it is someone who makes a great personal sacrifice for others. What has Lily done for anyone other than themself??

At least 6 out of that top 10 are transgender. How many of the population are transgender as distinct from lesbian or gay? What does that tell you about the LGBT movement? Or Pink (knee jerk) News?

Holy c**p. They really are deluded aren't they.

I saw that. I have to say, as a lesbian, it is a long time since I felt that either PinkNews or Stonewall had anything to do with me, really. They should just be honest and drop the L from LGBT.
