I'm not convinced it's an issue best solved by saying ok then, transwomen may not consider themselves to be women and may not use the word lesbian, is all.
Ok. I have seen some prominent academic transitioned males use the argument that if people see tw as women, then why would any transwoman be treated as anything other than a women.
Do you agree that transitioned males should always be treated as women?
Because using those two academics statements, it does indeed mean that those males feel entitled to attack females for not upholding their belief that they are lesbians.
Doesn’t this give them a sense of entitlement to make this claim and feel they are somehow righteous in their pressure, attacks and abuse?
And I want to be clear, I am sure many transitioned males do not think this. But there is enough that do. Therefore, the very definition of the word lesbian gives an extremist group the sense that they can do this. (And stonewall hasn’t called them out).
Hence the new definition is feeding down to the young lesbians and some (even if it is just a few) of them are already engaging in sex they feel they should have because the male is a lesbian too.
Language is a powerful thing.
Hence, when in school same sex relationships are discussed, some resources are using gender not sex.
Do you agree it is same sex or is it same gender for you? Are you happy that young lesbians believe it is same gender only and any deviation from that leads to social repercussions?
