Very sad to see that the lesbians marching to protest Lesbian erasure in Leeds were shut down by "trans lesbians"

The lesbian strength march was not shut down. Every other account I've read suggests it was a roaring success with only a few TRA protesters.

See here for example (with a lovely speech about Magdalen):

See also Mike Bettney's amazing photos:

The Diva article is total fabrication.

Not only was the march not shut down but it went ahead sucessfully.

There was a small counter protest, mainly by bearded men. But when these antilesbians had their photos posted on social media, the woke trans activists went into over drive. eg Pink News.

The funniest thing about the Diva article is the staged photo of women who supposedly took part in the anti lesbian protest who look more like they were hired from a model agency.

Just google Lesbian Strength and you will see loads of positive support. Not even worth writing in protest to Diva if they want to support men over women.

Better still read the thread on mumsnet about the March which has links to some of the speeches made and some photos. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3663822-Lesbian-Strength-March-and-Rally-in-Leeds-on-7-September-2019?noti=1#89959241

They weren’t shut down. They carried on and went to the pub, despite the straight men being very angry about being excluded from their sexuality

Why can't men who identify as women, who fancy women, leave lesbians alone?

It's almost stalker-like, preditory behaviour..
