To be absolutely disgusted by this?

I'm so angry. I get that people want to have equal rights but this is not equality. It is the eradication of the rights of "women" in order to appease the minority.

Sorry I was replying to planthelpadvice

I've been scrolling through the comments, looking for the one that says, "Ha ha, it's a spoof, fooled you...." But I haven't found one. Confused

So the Green Party have been the lunatic fringe for longer than I realised! I used to vote for them because I wanted to save the planet, how naive of me.

I want to know who thinks YABU. Thats fucking shocking! Men & non-men? Really?!

Why isn’t the terminology women and non women? No need to respond, just musing.

Sick, twisted scum

I'm so heartened to see the %ages on this AIBU. Some of us who have been following this ~debate~ erasure of women for years have seen this coming, I hope everyone can see this men's rights movement for what it is now.

it is saying men are the standard. We are a subclass of men. We are going backwards at a fast pace. Corporations obviously got fed up of making things suitable for women as well as men.

Worse - it is saying that men are human/people, women are non-human/ non-people

Has the definition of man or for gay men changed?

Nope.

TheaBrandt · 12/06/2023 21:22

We need to stop humouring this its getting properly sinister for women.

Hardtime · 12/06/2023 21:22

Johns Hopkins has a very sinister history of using black people as guinea pigs. Henrietta Lacks' cancer cells taken without her consent have been used in 11,000 patents and thousands of tons of her cells have been grown and sold.
Her family have yet to see a bean.
I am disgusted but unsurprised.

Jennybeans401 · 12/06/2023 21:35

They've taken everything, even our gender which was a given to start with.

What kind of a world is this?

fairywhale · 12/06/2023 21:36

The erasion of women started when in the last few decades religions and practices based on dehumanisation of women, no identity for women and female gendercide were welcomed here by the bleating minority of population who fancy themselves liberal - what a joke - who declared many of those abusive and dehumanising practices a woman's choice and liberating rather than oppressive and have helped to indoctrinate them in this country.
What the fuck did you expect.
And now on pretence of freedoms and equality for another tiny, often non compos mentis nino-minority, women, 50% of humankind, are being declared non-existent and with no rights or freedoms of their own.
And now, like in many societies, women are made to be a sub class, an inferior class of man, second or third class citizens, not people in their own rights.

Germaine Greer has been shot down for her views on the trans movement and gender ideologies but clearly saw all this coming.

PumpkinQueen1 · 12/06/2023 21:41

WTF is going on. This is insane.

ODFODPurlease · 12/06/2023 21:42

The problem here lies with the original use of the word ‘lesbian’ instead of the more equal ‘gay woman’. The misogyny goes way further back thank this definition and pre-dates the trans movement.

A gay man is a gay man.
A gay woman is a lesbian.

It’s never been equal. And now it’s getting worse.

This....

katepilar · 12/06/2023 21:46

absolutely ridiculous.

Somerandomshittyname · 12/06/2023 21:46

I have no idea where the original tweet came from but on the Johns Hopkins website (https://web.jhu.edu/LGBTQ/glossary.html) this is their definition of a lesbian…

I wholeheartedly agree with the outrage if the original tweet is true however.

Budikka · 12/06/2023 21:53

Maybe "man" should be substituted with.... "non-alien"?!?

So a lesbian is a non-non-alien who likes non-non-aliens?

But if two negatives make a positive.... a lesbian is an alien who likes aliens...?

Budikka · 12/06/2023 21:55

Emotionalsupportviper · 12/06/2023 21:18

Worse - it is saying that men are human/people, women are non-human/ non-people

And we know what the next step is..... Uebermensch and uentermensch...

MissMissive · 12/06/2023 22:04

It would be even clearer if they said ‘lesbians are non men who are not not attracted to other non men’
