The Lesbian Fightback Declaration

37 replies

IwantToRetire · 07/06/2024 18:02

Lesbians continue to face discrimination throughout society.
It is time to speak out and fightback.

Support lesbians not lesbian erasure.

  1. Lesbians are women who are attracted to and love other women. They are female homosexuals which means they are same-sex attracted.
  2. Men cannot be lesbians because men cannot be women and boys cannot be girls.
  3. Many tomboys will grow up to be lesbian. Rejecting femininity is a common lesbian choice; it does not mean that girls or women are trying to be, or are, male.
  4. Lesbians have the right to create and maintain their own spaces, free from male interference, for social, cultural, educational, and political activities.
  5. Lesbians have the right to discuss matters which affect them without being abused, harassed or intimidated.
  6. Lesbians have the right to exist as an independent group and not be teamed with any other group with different needs.

SUPPORT LESBIANS, NOT LESBIAN ERASURE

I recently realised I was lesbian but I haven't come out to anyone, I have been in the relationship with another woman for 3 months now

Best wishes to you and your partner!

Change took the petition down so we have migrated to i-petitions. Sorry to have to start all over 968 people had signed the other in 4 days. If you do sign again for us take note the money they ask for goes to i- petition not Lesbian Fightback.
Thanks for your solidarity. Whilst we fight for Women's sex- based rights we also need to fight for Lesbians' sex- based right! Not quite the same thing.

I'm getting 'sorry your signature cannot be recorded at this time'. Surely not lesbians not allowed to be lesbian on this platform too?!

Standing with you, sisters! I’m straight, but I’ll be fucked if anyone - any MAN! - should think he can tell lesbians what they are and who they should be attracted to. FUCK OFF.

I’m not on socials but if i was I’d be liking and sharing.

Ketzele · 19/06/2024 19:10

Not working for me. I'll try again later.

This is a huge problem as most places now are so scared of trans they let them in. But what is trans??? There is no clear definition as it includes heterosexual men who like cross dressing ie transvestites - they dont consider themselves to be a woman, they dont have body dysmorphia, yet we now cant keep them out of single sex spaces.

AGlinnerOfHope · 14/06/2024 07:08

Hooray. 🥳

I am extremely worried for young women who just dont conform to gender stereotypes, the tomboys, many of whom would grow up lesbian - but they are now told they are boys, medicalised, mutilated and their healthy bodies destroyed for ever - Lesbians are being erased. The Cass Report identified over 89% of young girls/women were wrongly Transed and were just same sex attracted. This is horrific - no other group of humans are being butchered in the name of “kindness”. This medical scandal is highlighted by German research showing over 72% of young women detransition - by which time or course they are irreversibly damaged for life. And our political parties are using us as some badge of honour as they spout ever lasting love for LGBTQIA+ whilst ignoring and wilfully destroying the L

Agree, support, and boost!!

On Saturday in a pub in Brighton I picked up a flyer for Lesbian weekend in Scotland. And low and behold the invite includes transwomen.

dougalfromthemagicroundabout · 13/06/2024 18:38

I will always support lesbians fighting for their right to be same sex attracted and not censured or coerced for excluding men as romantic partners, whatever their inner feelings.

Great stuff.

mrshoho · 13/06/2024 17:32

Well done all 👏 . Crazy to be in this position of having to fight back in the first place.

Just to say that OP is still getting lots of likes (which as I said earlier isn't about me - but about the declaration)

Only adding this info as number of actual posts on thread dont indicate this.

Great declaration. It’s just so fucked up that men can call themselves lesbians.
