'A female-only lesbian advocacy group in France was excluded from their local Pride parade on the basis that they did not allow the membership of trans-identified males. Femmes Entre Elles was labeled “transphobic” for restricting its advocacy to issues faced by women.
Femmes Entre Elles, which translates to “Women Among Themselves,” is a single-sex association for lesbian and bisexual women that has operated for over 30 years. It has been involved in campaigns to support women’s sex-based rights and the rights of lesbian women.
But on May 27, the group was informed via email that they were not welcome to participate in the annual Pride march in Rennes'

Sounds like Lesbian Pride is needed. A solo act.

It's a great idea, but it would need a lot of security.

I seem to remember lesbians being asked to leave a Pride march.

That was Cardiff Pride last year.

Lesbians have been excluded for a long long time.

They need their own pride I think.

Disgusting! Lesbians need to walk away from the misogyny of the rainbow and firmly the our lot to Women.
I did a couple of years ago.

100% this.

Excuse my ignorance, I've not heard the term before. What is a 'trans-identified male'? Is that a trans-woman or a trans-man?

It's a natal man, who has a trans identity

Lesbians need to leave the rainbow and get their own flag.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 20/06/2023 17:13

Good grief. Misogyny & lesbophobia running through it all like a stick of rock.
