Lesbian Visibility Week

Because cisgender is being a female woman and transgender is being anything else.

This is super transphobic Sugar

This guinea pig identifies as a capybara.

TWAW. TWACW. TWAF.

Sounds like a bad cough you've got there.

Happy end of 'Everyone and anyone's a Lesbian' week!

Yes, a very appropriate week to give tribute to the life of Magdalen .

Its interesting to see what one side of the debate are allowed to get away with on here. Homophobia and lesbophobia are fine as long as its done in the name inclusiveness.

So what I get from this is that you're whatever you say you are and everyone else is whatever you say they are, and up is down and left is right and in is out, or something, and that's all really positive in a modern kind of way.

Pretty much. And ASugarr will continue to use offensive terms with apparent impunity.

Here's a fun fact!

Not all cats have tails, you know. Some cats, like the Manx cat, are born with only a stub for a tail. It's complex science.

That's why capybaras are also cats because they are furry animals with four legs and no tail.

See these two pictures. Bet you can't tell the cis cat from a trans cat. They are indistinguishable! You've come across many capybaras in your life and not even realised it!

Its a strange thing isn't it?

Maybe OP can have her own continual thread running as its clear to me the only thing she really wants is attention, any kind of attention, but as an adult thats her problem not ours.

I think the main things I've learned from this thread is that homophobia and particularly lesphobia is still so prevalant and even acceptable to too many people and we all need to join the fight to change that and that biology matters.

and and to all the lesbians reading this thread, you deserve better.

So what I get from this is that you're whatever you say you are and everyone else is whatever you say they are, and up is down and left is right and in is out, or something, and that's all really positive in a modern kind of way.

Well have fun with that. This lesbian's going to go be visible somewhere else and stick with the old fashioned stuff, because life's plain too short.

Also worth noting that Arielle Scarcella there has since changed her views considerably:

Magdalen.

Thanks for an interesting read. I certainly didn't know the lobster or flamingo facts so that's some interesting learning to squirrel away for when the pubs open back up.

I'd like to remind posters that Mumsnet has safeguarding responsibilities and anything you see that could be a potential safeguarding issue should be reported to headquarters.

To lesbians reading this thread

I’m usually a lurker. I find it deeply unpleasant that on lesbian visibility week these threads are posted to state - in the midst of utterly incoherent arguments and word mangling- that lesbians can be men and lesbian sex can involve a penis.

I mean what the hell is the genital preference thing about? Is it now the case than in order not to be classed as a bigot or horror of horrors “un-inclusive”, lesbians are being told that it is permitted to say to someone with a penis “I’m so sorry but I don’t want to sleep with you because I don’t happen to fancy you” but not “I don’t want to sleep with you because I’m a lesbian and you are a man” as this could be transphobic??

I’m a lesbian and posts like this are like an irritating fly buzzing around that you can’t be bothered to swat. Thank you for the solidarity shown here by so many on these threads . They serve as a horrible warning as to what to expect if we give one inch on this craziness.

I would be very interested in other way to support lesbians.

I just cannot get my head around this. Lesbians have had so many obstacles to face. They finally reached a stage where there was a certain acceptance and visibility. The way men historically has treated lesbians is horrific.

I am so incredibly sad that people now not only try to identify into lesbianism but also push actual lesbians out and/or force them to accept dick. Those stories about current harassment of lesbians is a new level of awful.

for all lesbians.

It looks like a TAAT to me.

Nah, it's just part two. And the formula hasn't changed much. I don't have a problem keeping it going, although I would appreciate more ice-cream unicorns. Of any flavour.

Visibility is good.

So im really not keen on relying on their ‘facts/opinions’

"let’s turn this thread into a thread about how to support females who are same sex attracted

that would be amazing, I would really value any suggestions."

Given the prevalence of corrective rape in countries such as South Africa, maybe we should support charities fighting this? Does anyone know any names?

I would class it as a TAAT but different rules seem to apply on this board.

It looks like a TAAT to me.

Exactly @CorvusPurpureus and we have another full thread on this already.

How is this not TAAT?

I can see the fishing rod from here.
