Looks like the usual people turned up for a photo op at Manchester pride, though to be fare there were 11 not 8 as usual.

Carry on protesting because its a good reminder of the actual numbers if that is all the people that can protest the second biggest pride in the UK.

Thanks for sharing that bespin. Absolute sheros out there protesting a misogynist lesbophobic parody of a gay rights protest.

Brave women. Brava. Flowers

Thank you Bespin. You prompted me to go over to Twitter for more inspiring photos of courageous sisters and striking banners (I'm a bit of a banner nutGrin) I hope the protest went well - sorry I can't link easily but look for Lesbian Strength on Twitter.

I've lost count of all the different banners - can't wait for the Leeds event as I'm sure there'll be a great display of them.

Yes, it's brilliant isn't it, bespin that lesbians are scared to go public?

Cut to the uproar on twitter with Janice Turner and Piers Morgan absolutely aghast that men are identifying as women in women's rugby.

No one thinks transwomen are women, I'm afraid. The fact that more outrage is generated through sport, than lesbianism, is a sign of misogyny, not a belief in transgenderism.

Why shouldn't lesbians protest?

Is it because women are not allowed a voice?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 24/08/2019 17:59

Thanks for the update Bespin.

That's really great to hear so many brave women attended to protest (rather than simply just staying away)

Also good to hear that numbers are increasing Smile

Really mean spirited, unpleasant post that radiates disrespect for women.

AlwaysComingHome · 24/08/2019 17:59

Goady post.

These 8 (or 11) are taking up a hell of a lot of space in your head for someone who isn’t bothered by their presence.

Thanks for the photo, it's lovely to see brave women taking a stand against lesbophobia.

Considering the very real threat of violence it is amazing that there are any women at all who dare to risk being kerb stomped or having their brains dashed out by pastel painted baseball bats.

Men don't belong in women's spaces. They especially don't belong in lesbian spaces. Female homoSEXuals have a right (currently still enshrined in UK law) to protection from discrimination.

It is only the evils of #nodebate and the persecution of ordinary women by deranged narcissists that has allowed things to deteriorate to this extent.

Ordinary people do not agree that lesbians should retrain their bigoted brains until they are able to "cope" with having sexual relations with a "female" penis. Once they get over their shock and disbelief on first hearing about the cotton ceiling, (and their astonishment that their trusted news services, the BBC and Guardian have been enforcing a news black out on the subject) they are appalled. Rightly so.

11 courageous women. Well done ladies, keep up the good work. People see you and the way you are treated and take note. Remember the why men became GC thread, men saw and went away to find out more. Grin

Sexnotgender · 24/08/2019 17:52

Well aren’t you a treat.

FeckTheMagicDragon · 24/08/2019 17:52

Pretty much I expect Michelle. Either that or screen shots for Twitter :)

Michelleoftheresistance · 24/08/2019 17:50

What exactly are you hoping your post is going to achieve? What point are you making?

Is it 'give up your rights, you're all alone, just surrender now?'

FeckTheMagicDragon · 24/08/2019 17:47

Good for them! It must be terrible to have been booed at Pride for highlighting the fact that lesbians are now expected to accept dick!
