Fantastic news.

I would link to their Twitter announcement, but in usual state of play, Twitter has marked it ' may not be appropriate for people under 18'. A helpline planned for 13 to 25 year olds, planned by a panel of experts in child protection, education, helpline delivery, fundraising and psychology.

Yep - shut them down (much better to have helplines planned by IT workers who took their child to Thailand...)

As LGB Alliance state there is no dedicated national service of its kind for young LGB people in the UK.

I'm sure the Lottery Fund will be getting a lot of feedback right now, given the outpouring of hyperbole against LGB Alliance right now on Twitter.

So they may appreciate feedback from those who may see this as a positive move too:

""We really value your feedback. If you have a comment or complaint about the services that we provide, or if there's something important you think we should know, we'd love to hear it. Please email us at [email protected]"

so we now have two supposedly tolerant, inclusive posters from the wonderfully loving community personally attacking posters for not agreeing with them.

Shocked am I, I tell you !

And still not ONE bit of evidence of about LGB Alliance.

Not one.

But some eye opening live time demonstrations on what the posters supporting extreme trans activism resort to instead of mature discussion and focusing on evidence….

same old, same old

God Bless all the letters in the LGBT community! Long may we all flourish!

Last couple of responses kind of give the game away - caring about "the community" and even the "letters".

Caring far less about the actual people. Particularly the women. Far easier to talk in abstractions - clichéd ones, at that.

Same sort of problem we saw with the Catholic Church a few times, and indeed many times in history in other organisations and communities. The symbols and the structures being more important. The sort of attitude that leads to wilful blindness and cover-ups.

Every single member of the LGBT community is an actual person 😍

just not quite brave enough are you

honestly it’s pathetic

And the post went anyway 😀

(just in case my post goes bye bye)

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 21/06/2022 17:57

Well, if we're allowed to assign labels to other people yours begins with 'B' and ends with 'T'. It's a five letter word, go figure

just not quite brave enough are you 😥

honestly it’s pathetic 😀

Suspect I've done more in terms of activism for the LGBT community than you ever have.

You might suspect it but it would be difficult for you to validate that in a meaningful way. And, given some of the posters on this thread, my strong suspicion is that you have no idea of the depth of the inappropriateness of your comparison and self-annointment.

You think most gays and lesbians don't support trans inclusion?

If that isn't the case why did GC news outlet Lesbian and Gay News shut?

www.lesbianandgaynews.com/

It explicitly said it was no longer able to continue because there were far too few GC members of the LGBT community for them to pay the bills. It was targeting a tiny market

You also have no idea of the meaning of that word. And with the homophobic and anti-woman views you hold? You call me whatever names you want to, you enjoy yourself. I'm honestly out of fucks to give.

And by trans inclusion is not homophobic. It is something the vast majority of gays and lesbians agree on! 😍😍😍

You need to get over yourself and just let people live their own lives and chose their own labels.

You mean like you're doing? To lesbians?

I've honestly lost any remaining willingness to play games.

I'm supposed to not say I'm a biological female cos....reasons, to do with upsetting TQ+ people (who could not give a fuck about my feelings, identity or reasons)

I'm not supposed to say women are female.... see above

I'm supposed to be a 'person' and not a woman... see above, despite that the default human is male and this is a battle women haven't yet won

I'm not supposed to expect privacy, dignity or single sex provision because above, and if I'm unlucky and get totally excluded from any provision then no TQ+ political activist gives a shit, because male people can be happy

and now I'm not supposed to say that lesbians are homosexual females, or that I will not, no matter what, ever be sexually attracted to a biological male regardless of identity because homosexual female.

And you want to tell me about policing other people's identities - dear God the irony!

I'm done. I've got nothing left. I've tried understanding, being reasonable, trying to negotiate and explain - I'm drained dry. I'm left with fuck the fuck off my identity, my language, my spaces, and find other solutions because I am not playing this game any longer. I have no respect to give to those who have no respect for me or anyone else, and no energy left to give them in this never ending maze of need and trampling over other people.

Yes. As a lesbian, at this point, it bloody well is for me to police other people's identities to make them get their grabby, entitled hands off mine.

If you are not a homosexual female who exclusively chooses sex with other homosexual females you are not a lesbian . You are not.

I'm not indulging this ridiculous bullshit any longer.

Argh. For the eleventy millionth time.

It is fine for females to be happy to have sex with TW, that's lovely for them, I wish them well, but they are bi, not lesbian.

Lesbian means female who is exclusively same sex attracted. That is also fine.

The TQ+ agenda wishes first to make lesbian mean nothing more than anyone of any sex who happens to like the sound of that label on themselves, and then to insist that all homosexual women must provide sex to males or be excluded, scolded and coerced into it. That sex isn't something they have a right to choose or enjoy but a social duty to provide to males.

That kind of appalling pathological misogyny is wholly unacceptable. It views females as nothing more than tools in male lives, and that any female not serving a TQ+ agenda is worthless and wrong. Homosexual women are being targeted for a very specific reason in that the feelings coming from having got a solely same sex attracted female to provide sex is the top level of validation. I am not a bloody validation tool for males. They really need to learn to cope with no.

Live and let bloody live. Otherwise as you see, females get increasingly fed up and less and less willing to be polite about the endless onslaught on their rights, words and equality.

"It is fine for females to be happy to have sex with TW, that's lovely for them, I wish them well, but they are bi, not lesbian."

That is not the case. Plenty of lesbians have sex with trans women and do not consider themselves bi. Ditto for gay men.

It's not up for you to police anyone else's identity.

Helleofabore · 21/06/2022 12:39

And by the way, this is just a small sample of the things that prominent transitioned males have said about females. I could keep posting them, but it would fill up the thread.

This is a feminism board starlee. We collect these things because these are males who are harming females with these attitudes.

Trans communities include females who will be harmed if this behaviour does not stop. I have not seen one prominent trans person call this out but I would be delighted to see some evidence that someone did.

It is infantilising trans people to not call them out on their extremist and very harmful views on females. But crack on trying to portray the reporting of them as 'not supporting trans people'.

The denial that it is happening, is the exact same denial that transitioned males are seeking to coerce homosexual females into sex in any way.

It is exactly the same denial that Nancy Kelley did not effectively say that lesbians are prejudiced:

"Nobody should ever be pressured into dating, or pressured into dating people they aren't attracted to. But if you find that when dating, you are writing off entire groups of people, like people of colour, fat people, disabled people or trans people, then it's worth considering how societal prejudices may have shaped your attractions."
