It increasingly feels like we should treat witch hunts against individual women as attacks on women as a class.

I thought women here might appreciate a thread to show their support for Allison. I don't know her personally, but I believe in all women's right to free speech.

I stand with Alison.

Lawyers are very ‘up with the ‘bow’ these days. I’m not quite sure why.

Have those craven assholes at Garden Court said anything else yet?

That is amazing. She is a force to be reckoned with. No wonder they responded with such fury.

I should say that's my opinion, not lgba's.. .

TemporaryPermanent · 01/11/2019 16:46

I find the faux naive 'I'm trans and I'm gay (or bi), does the lgb alliance include me?' schtick annoying. Though in a way I wish they would answer. Yes, if you are attracted to someone the same sex as you, as in the physical sex you were conceived, and that's how you define being gay, of course you are included in the lgb alliance.

Datun · 01/11/2019 15:35

I suppose the thinking is that it is easier to hijack already established rights by changing the fundamentals of what entitles those people to those rights,

Exactly.

That's fair enough but there should be no obligation implied thar bisexual people must sleep with everyone, just like I don't have to sleep with every man who wants to as a straight woman.

Yes. Surely bisexuality indicates an attraction to either sex. And anything else is sexual preference. Lots of people will be attracted to both men and women, which is a sexual orientation. But not trans people. But that's a preference, not an orientation.

That's fair enough but there should be no obligation implied thar bisexual people must sleep with everyone, just like I don't have to sleep with every man who wants to as a straight woman.

But there are only two sexes. I think "pansexual" is a redundant woke label like "demisexual" etc. MTF trans people are male and no one whatever their sexual orientation should feel socially pressured or coerced into sexual activity they don't want.

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 01/11/2019 15:13

Yes, there is no need for P as B covers both sexes.

I think a majority of bi people would strongly disagree with that statement.

Pan sexuality is defined as "not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity", whereas most bi people are attracted to biological males and biological females.

Most of them don't feel sexual attraction towards people who have changed their bodies using hormones and surgery, and they are understandably reluctant to get involved with people who have such a strong sense of personal gender identity that they require everyone around them to walk on eggshells to avoid triggering offence.

Which is why bisexuals need to be included with and protected by the LGB alliance.
