I understand who it's about and am in support of them, I just wondered if they'd welcome straight women who wanted to stand alongside. I totally get that it's not for men. I also respect that it might not be for me either.
(Too far for me, just wondered generally).

Awww bless, as a straight female, this event is not for me and no I don't suffer with FOMO unlike a group who want to protest about not being included

It’s for lesbian and bisexual women (the traditional sort). Everything doesn’t have to be for everyone

See ‘potatoes’ passim

Your username is very appropriate for this comment 😂Are you sure you don't want to have a tantrum about the fact you can't attend? That's what all the cool kids are doing, apparently!

This sounds great OP, I hope it goes really well. I would love to come but have my kids that day.

Excellent that you are doing this.

I'm miles away, but am assuming other biological females who want to support their biological female lesbian/bi friends could join in too?

it's not about you potatoes!!!

It's not a surprise the trans activists will target a meeting that is women only.

It is, however, mean, bullying, creepy and wrong.

Yes, Aida, I heard you. You are profoundly homophobic and do not believe homosexual women should be allowed to be in public refusing to submit to and provide straight sex to men, and for them to do it is an unacceptable rebellion against men that should be stamped out.

Yes. Got it. Understood.

Dear God, I lived through the bloody 70s and 80s without ever seeing homophobia or sexism like this.

In that case, 2/3 of them live in my house! Perhaps we should just invite the other one over here for some herbal tea and vegan snacks?

It's been quite the display of dominance and power.
(paraphrasing)

"What - who's organising an event for women without my permission?"
"My question hasn't been answered"
"There'll need to be a counter protest if women are meeting without permission"
"Are male lesbians invited?"
" Then I'll organise a counter protest"

The complete inability to respect that women have the right to organise without male permission. Incapable of reading women's words without issuing threats. Counter protest ffs.

This behaviour is indicative of individuals spiralling out of control.

More than welcome! This is just transphobic protest under "true lesbians" banner.

A mesaage for the mens's rights activists:

Have you actually no idea how it comes across when a woman posts on a woman centred website to share info about a picnic for other women, and you chip in with defamation and threats?

I'll help: it sounds like you are unhinged misogynists.

Leave women alone. Leave lesbians alone.

Is that a pride where lesbians are not allowed?

Or you could just... go to Pride? Which is on the same day?

"Is it a gender critical event?"

Being the first response sums up so much.

Being an actual lesbian, isn't allowed.

It must be inclusive of men. The transmen are, once again, conveniently forgotten and irrelevant.

The fact that many transmen actively understand they are female is, once again, conveniently forgotten.

By definition, if transmen are allowed, it's trans inclusive.

TRAs who say shit like this are NOT LGB friendly but demand and use LGB people as a Trojan horse. Whilst they actively shit on LGBT people in the process.

Transmen who recognise their sex and sexuality as homosexual are not allowed to permitted to participate - by the TRAs. To do so is to be deemed a 'traitor' to trans people.

It's an attempt at colonisation of female spaces and there's mantrums when women say no.

It's such bullshit. It's a Men's Rights attitude. It's a Men's Rights entitlement. It's grossly sexist and homophobic.

Any poster saying 'what about the menz' for this, shows themselves up.

Wishing all the best for the Lesbian Pride March!

One of the few groups really deserving a pride march in these aggressively male-dominated times.

I hope all goes well and the MRA goons don't get to ruin it all.

😂😂

Every time these horrible rapey men come out to protest women opening their mouths and saying words or eating a sandwich, many more TERFs are born.

So crack on fellas. You do our job for us.

Yes, same.

I sincerely hope no screechy, misnamed 'counter protests' by people who think themselves frightfully interesting spoil the day.

Oh it’s beyond revolting, no question there.

I'm afraid in this instance it's a lot more revolting than that.

These women are targets of hate for being homosexual and withholding their bodies from men's feelings of entitlement of sexual use.

And as usual, they don't want the consenting ones. This is at root 'if you won't fuck us, we'll bully and abuse you off the streets'. It is absolutely vile.

Yes I think so.
