Hi all,

Just flagging this for any lesbian or bi women who’ve felt pushed out of Pride, or like something’s quietly disappeared.

We’re organising a lesbian and bisexual women-only march on Saturday 5th July in central London. It’s the same day as the main Pride event – but we’re not part of their route, and we’re not affiliated.

Time: 11.00 AM
Meeting point: Emmeline Pankhurst Statue, Victoria Tower Gardens South (by Parliament)
Route: Walk to Parliament Square for a few short speeches, then back to the park for a picnic (or a nearby pub if it rains)

No men. No brands. No pressure.
Just women. In public. Without compromise.

It’s fully self-funded. All permits, insurance, stewards and first aid are covered.

RSVP now
Click “Attend” – even if you’re only thinking of coming. It helps us plan and it shows other women that this space is real.
New faces always welcome.
Meetup

If you’re coming alone or feeling nervous, join our entry WhatsApp group – we’ll look after you:

(This is our public group – open to everyone before vetting. The private WhatsApp spaces are strictly filtered. Only verified, registered women are added after screening. To move into those, register and complete sex verification here: thelcommunity.com)

They didn’t make space for us. So we did.

Fingers crossed for a fun and peaceful march. Hope you have a wonderful day

RufustheFactualReindeer · 05/07/2025 09:38

Good luck, hope you all have a wonderful day and the weather is good for you

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/07/2025 09:09

Good luck, I hope you have a lovely day!

MarieDeGournay · 05/07/2025 09:07

Have a wonderful day. I'd be there but for geographySmile
The trans movement has a reputation for being notoriously anti-lesbian, and this gathering will be a test of that:
there is absolutely nothing to justify any counter-protests, megaphone-shouting, soup- or punch-throwing, Nazi-accusing. Nothing.

So if the usual bullies turn up, it will proof of their homophobia, specifically against lesbians.

You're on notice, bullies - leave the lesbians in peace, or prove your lesbophobia beyond question.

Abhannmor · 05/07/2025 08:52

Hope it's a big turn out and a lovely day 😊

FlippinFumin · 05/07/2025 08:27

Have a fabulous day today lesbians. I hope the bully boys stay the fuck away.

Treaclewell · 05/07/2025 08:24

I'm wishing all the best to you. I hope there's no trouble.

Myalternate · 05/07/2025 01:07

i hope you all have a wonderful peaceful day xx

Kingsleadhat · 24/06/2025 09:53

I hope the sun shines for you. I know it's not Pride but this old-school feminist is proud of you and grateful that you're standing up for women in these crazy, confused times. ❤️ Xx

Another one hoping you have a fab day. Like others, I'd love to go as it sounds great but appreciate it's not my space. So cheering you on from the sidelines.

I've just read the thread and the threat of angry men showing up won't keep me away. I've just booked train tickets and looking forward to a lovely day out 😃
I'm thinking quiches and banana bread-you can't really go wrong with those.
See you all there 💪

Hope you have a wonderful day. Like many others here, I’d love to join you in solidarity but know it is not a space for hetero women however well-meaning.

You should be allowed your own space. A safe space. With other WOMEN like you.

Brilliant you’re exactly who it’s for. Lesbian and bi women, same-sex attracted, taking the space. See you there.

For the last decade or so the TIMs held all the power - to deny their mad orthodoxy was to be sacked, or trolled, or cancelled.

They ruled government departments. They ruled the BBC. They ruled Scotland.

But then some - gasp! - women started standing up to them, and they slowly lost that power as sanity was shone on the whole edifice of lies.

And they can't bear that they lost their power over us.

It is delicious.

Love this post. Completely agree, it is driving TRAs and MRAs crazy that women are asserting our rights and the law agrees. May I just say mehahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch given their death threats and intimidation.

It also explains why they hate JKR with every fibre of their being. Damn that pesky woman with the money and power and fan base to withstand their prolonged assault. Go JKR!!

Their frothing, spinning and frustrated threats are great entertainment. I’m ordering more popcorn.

TheOtherRaven · 18/06/2025 17:09

I'm afraid the evidence suggests that these are very generous interpretations. I'd say the answer can be simply and readily summed up in the term 'cockblocking', and 'nuff said.

The funniest thing is these boys claiming they have friends. @AidaP the ones in your head don’t count

Or the ones on Reddit.

Igmum · 18/06/2025 08:38

Well here’s to all of the lesbians marching. Confusion to their enemies and idiot TRAs with FOMO, a peaceful celebration of their right to meet in single-sex, same-sex attracted groups and a few drinks afterwards.

Myalternate · 18/06/2025 08:16

Never gone through it myself so may be talking rubbish but I imagine it feels like leaving an abusive relationship and being able to finally take a deep breath.

A thing that struck me was the way the mean boys can only see public assembly as 'protest'. Not celebration, commemoration, solidarity, fun, affirmation.

For them it has to be about pretendy war, not community.
