I don't want to take this over as a straight feminist woman but am troubled at the blithe denial on other threads. This is a thread to post evidence of lesbophobia from transactivists and trans allies. I will start with the fragrant Morgane Oger:

Here’s some utter nonsense. On their Twitter thread, which I can’t find now, they were bragging about how female their girl dick is to their 10 year gold star lesbian girlfriend.

Here's one by Riley J. Dennis.

'I'm trying to show that a preference for women with vaginas over women with penises might be partially influenced by the prejudices of a cissexist society.'

'If we look a little deeper into this issue, there's a possibility of your genital preferences being at least partially informed by growing up in a cissexist society. There's also the fact that a preference is different from saying you would never do something. [...] Simply saying 'it's my preference, end of discussion' is a good way of sidelining all of those issues and instead centering cis people in a discussion that's about trans people.'

'If intimacy with someone with a penis is triggering for you, I would never suggest that you have to do that. Take your time to heal and work through your trauma at your own pace. Just be aware that the majority of people making the 'I could never date someone with a penis' argument are not doing so because of trauma or triggers.'

'Even if you don't consider yourself a part of [the gender critical and radfem] movements you're siding with them when you use their arguments. Their entire platform is cissexist, and their arguments reflect that.'

Riley ends by telling people lesbians who don't want relationships with transwomen 'not to shout about it' and to consider the transwomen's feelings.

Good idea. It upsets me that this is happening. All the lesbians I know in real life are older (40s) married or partnered off. I doubt they are aware of it and I doubt some winkle owning lesbian would dare bully an older lesbian in the same way.

We cannot see each other on Mumsnet but I sometimes wonder just how many dicks are lolling about on certain threads. Got the giggles about it. Grin

Indeed. Women need to be told who they are attracted to, particularly by men who think they are women..... Hmm
