Any lesbians feeling a tad battered and deflated?

Cadencia - personal preference and consent towards individuals as partners (or otherwise) operates on a totally different level from sexual orientation.

Neoliberal/postmodernist analysis looks through the lens of atomised individuals and their nebulous identities. Materialist analysis looks through the lens of classes of people with something material and collective in common, such as, in the case of lesbians, females and who are attracted to other females.

People do find other people either attractive or not, often somewhat randomly. But it always fits a deeper pattern and context of what that person's sexual orientation is. Gender and sex are completely different things and should be kept separate in law and politics.

You got to ask yourself who is behaving in a way, to coerce lesbians to have sex with penises?

Just who is pushing this agenda?

Then once you have your answer, it strengthens your resolve and you carry on the fight, against the ones pushing the rapey agenda, the sterilising kids agenda, the lopping off bits of young bodies agenda, the violence against women agenda, the forcing people to chant the manta agenda; and hope that the people in power, with their arms held behind their backs are brave enough to actually say no.

How can you hijack being a lesbian if you are a lesbian

My dad used to joke that he was a male lesbian (obviously heard it on the telly and thought it was funny ) i reckon he could probably be accused of hijacking lesbianism

Deflated - no. Enlivened - yes.
Those incredibly brave women have started a much needed conversation.
I’m inspired by their actions and will be taking a far more proactive approach in defending women and lesbians from the encroachment. I can feel the spirit of the suffragettes.
I will not yield to men and their desires in any format they choose to present themselves in. And I’m sick of being polite about it.

Twitter is full of plonkers.

Snappity must have been staring at the screen, fingers poised over the keyboard all night, waiting to drop that little gem in.

Feel better now Hun?

Feeling deflated and disappointed on your behalf op.

Ignore snappity. They don't have a clue.

Lesbianism was not hijacked Snappity.

It was reclaimed, from the men who have hijacked it by bullying and brainwashing women into saying that they are women, too.

I'm not a lesbian but I am sorry this is happening to your community.

I will stand by and support you where I can.

Sexual orientation is a protected characteristic, and the disgusting homophobia we've seen shows why it's needed.

Sorry you're feeling this way OP. And sorry you've have two replies already minimising your feelings.

Aaaaand, your first two replies = QED.

I’m not a lesbian and I hope this isn’t offensive to you. But - at the end of the day - it’s up to you who you are attracted to and no one can force you to be attracted to another person. So if you don’t fancy trans women that’s okay. You don’t have to!

Yes, definitely deflated that lesbianism was hijacked on Saturday
