The Lesbian Fightback Declaration

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

Unfortunately they only seem to be on twitter which means their info isn't publicly available to all. But this is what their pinned post says:

Good to hear

Is any one surprised that men should think they can tell lesbians what is or is not appropriate?

No doubt lesbians will soon be issues with a handbook (MANual) telling lesbians the correct way to be a lesbian.

Lesbians aren't allowed to lesbian, if anyone can tweet Change.org and ask why that'd probably be appreciated

Great to see 👍

IwantToRetire · 08/06/2024 20:42

Just to say because I think others cant see it, but my OP post has got many, many likes.

And of course not about me, but about the Declaration.

Just thought I should post that info in case anyone coming on the thread thinks no one is interested!

(Could always just post - "I agree" or "I support" or "boost" ... )

A Vince Clarke side project? 😉

Lesbian Fightback are in the process of setting up a webpage. We started on twitter 3 years ago. Got 3000 followers in one week. Since we have been growing our network and now have 50 Lesbians representing 25 groups and organisations. We do that in private via whatsapp and zooms. It allows Lesbians to quickly respond and also to know what is going on in our underground Lesbian culture. That's where we are thriving because we are not welcome in LGBTQ or "queer" spaces. If anyone wants to become part of the network contact us on email. [email protected]

They sound similar to Get the L Out, The L Community and The Lesbian Project. I'm glad these groups are starting to pop up!

Edited

I think that's the point of the declaration, which is supported by many of these groups.

Just think it is a shame they are only on twitter, as so few people have acess to it.
