“You’re arguing that a biological male can never be a lesbian”

"The charities had forgotten lesbians even exist "

I think the average WH listener, coming to this for the first time and hearing all 4 interviews, will be left in no doubt that the SC ruling was something to celebrate.

It's infuriating to hear men's voices like RMW's and AI bloke's on Woman's Hour, but in this case I think it's been a really useful strategy to hear both sides. Theirs just does not have ANY strong arguments, and their weak 'because we don't like it' case, put in male voices, makes it clear why the SC ruling was so important and necessary.

"The LBGT+ lobby has a new found interest in lesbians"

After basically ignoring them for so bloody long!

"They think it's a gotcha"

"Lesbians felt 'less than' within the LGBTQ"

Boiledbeetle · 19/05/2025 10:24

"We are seeing our communities dying"

BinBadger · 19/05/2025 10:21

I can't believe that this poor woman is being made to explain, repeatedly, why she doesn't include males in her definition of same sex attracted lesbians.

It's abusive, it's in unkind and it's unpleasant

Boiledbeetle · 19/05/2025 10:21

If a lesbian dates a transwoman is she still a lesbian?

" No"

"Today a man with a beard who may be married... can say I'm a lesbian..."

Brefugee · 19/05/2025 10:20

oh yes, "you haven't met the right dick yet". Good stuff

"Stop it"

Response to transwomen claiming to be lesbians

MyPresumablyScrotum · 19/05/2025 10:20

"Stop it, it's ridiculous!!"

Boiledbeetle · 19/05/2025 10:19

"I prefer to say trans identified male"

Boiledbeetle · 19/05/2025 10:18

Lesbians will excert their boundaries and will exclude men from their dating pools but that's deemed transphobic

WinterTrees · 19/05/2025 10:18

Dating apps are a good illustration of the problems. Better than toilets in some ways.

nauticant · 19/05/2025 10:18

It might be all about the men again but this means that Kate Barker can answer in very clear terms why being able to say that transwomen are men is so important.

Boiledbeetle · 19/05/2025 10:17

She confirms that she includes transwomen in her men definition

MyPresumablyScrotum · 19/05/2025 10:16

What about the men. Again.

Boiledbeetle · 19/05/2025 10:16

MyPresumablyScrotum · 19/05/2025 10:16

Yeah, Kate has definitely read the decision.
