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.

It’s there in the image

The definition of lesbian has been updated to include those who are non binary

Not that the definition of a woman has been updated

Christ on a bike

I feel ‘Non female deity on a non-square wheeled non car’ is more inclusive than ‘Christ on a bike.’

When you know better you do better!

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

Me too! This cannot be real surely? This has to end at some stage, I don't think real women will tolerate this much longer. I feel on the verge of exploding . i consider myself a tolerant person and respectful of peoples choices but the more this goes on the more I want to say fuck off to everything this woke bullshit stands for.

MissMissive · 12/06/2023 22:14

Hopefully it’s not real, but there’s many reasons why us non-men / uterus-havers / menstruators / pregnant people / chest-feeders are at the point we’d easily believe it is.

Until they want to rent a wombto have babies like Tom Daley did and then prance around knitting booties hectoring us all to #bekind

Uterus transplants are a thing now. How long until they start demanding organs? I've forbidden any of my organs to be used in the event of my death. Churlish perhaps, but sod it.

No it doesnt say women. It says this...
Lesbian [sexual orientation]: A non-man attracted to non-men. While past definitions refer to ‘lesbian’ as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label.
This new and improved definition positions lesbian identity only as it relates to men.

Thelnebriati · 12/06/2023 22:25

Uterus transplants only take place woman to women, and between close relatives. The uterus is removes after the baby is born.
It would be useless in a mans body.

Thisistheendof · 12/06/2023 22:26

Oops posted too soon.
If we're going down this road I'll have to start telling people that I'm a non man who is in a long term relationship with a non woman.
On Thursday I went out for a curry with a friend who is a non woman in a long term relationship with another non woman.

At the moment...

Hidinginaonesie · 12/06/2023 22:45

I’ve found a good use for the definition of non-man.

Channellingsophistication · 12/06/2023 22:45

It just a new way to oppress women isnt it. Utterly shocking

YorkshirePuddingsGreatestFan · 12/06/2023 22:46

My gay friend explained it to me. He said if two men both declare themselves as non-binary and have a relationship, then they are lesbians. The non-man wording is so it is inclusive of such men.

Female lesbians are furious about it as they don't believe such men are lesbians and don't want them in lesbian only groups etc.

It's also concerning that men with intact penises are identifying as lesbians, then calling female lesbians bigots etc., because they don't want to have sex with them.

FrangipaniBlue · 12/06/2023 22:48

CasperGutman · 12/06/2023 18:48

And why can't non-binary people be gay?

This was my thought!

Surely if they wanted to be wholly inclusive they could have just scrapped both lesbian and gay-man and instead said "a gay-person is someone who is attracted to people of the same sex"

Confused
mummymeister · 12/06/2023 22:53

to those of you who are flabbergasted. this was me a few months ago. not any more. have a look at what the politicians are saying and realise that if you vote for Labour for all the other reasons that they deserve your vote, then this is the sort of shit that you will get. this whole shit show is about tiptoeing around a teeny tiny minority and thinking its trendy. if you want to vote labour then speak to your local politician now and get this called out and stopped. otherwise come the next election the law of unintended consequences means thats it for women. the end. we are just non men

FrangipaniBlue · 12/06/2023 23:01

I've just read the full thing....... I can't make head nor tail of what some of the descriptions mean and some appear to be saying the same but with different "names"

Wtf?

Bloody hell. If someone referred to me as a non-man I’d fucking punch them.

I'd punch them in the non-balls ........

Biological sex matters. Men and Women. Women and Men.

Ideology is dangerous to women.

BitOutOfPractice · 12/06/2023 23:09

So if a woman is a non-man, why isn’t a man a non-woman?

Helleofabore · 12/06/2023 23:11

bibbityboppityboo · 12/06/2023 18:04

Surely a non man is a woman?!

I'm in total shock on this one, it's like some sort of skit. Is it actually real?

Sadly it is. There are several examples of other places using the same. A school in Bristol a year or so ago and an organisation in Canada just last week.

This is very real and women are derided and demonised for pushing back.

This is not a drill. This is rolling out across the world.

Really a man should now be a non-non-man. And then a woman would become a non-non-non-man. And then a man would be a non-non-non-non-man. Or something.

I hope my daughter doesn't want to go to university when she is older. They are fast becoming cults.

Karmakamelion · 12/06/2023 17:57

It just shows male entitlement exists even when you identify as a woman.....

Totally agree

BitOutOfPractice · 12/06/2023 23:09

So if a woman is a non-man, why isn’t a man a non-woman?

Because that would require a 'woman' to be an actual type of human - and that would offend a tiny percentage of people. Apparently it's safer electorally to piss off 51% of the population.

Battenbergcoconutice · 12/06/2023 23:20

Wow. Just wow. I thought things couldn't get any worse. Says the non man who is chest feeding to her non son son non ....NONSENSE!
