Apparently, women with vaginas are "cuntscum."

This lovely person was elected to represent LGBT students. What a stunning and brave example they present.

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

It is just so depressing to think that a university in this day and age thinks it is acceptable for someone who represents them to use hate speech like that. What price safe space if that's how it is OK to describe women?

[GetAHaircutCarl]

It's interesting how women who don't like to have sex with people with a penis are transphobic.

What about men or trans women who don't like to have sex with people with a penis?

[BroomhildaVonShaft]

Frey, these are all things that I have read online written in all seriousness.
Obviously I don't agree or believe this, but it's not a crazy niche view.

[SpecialAgentFreyPie]

Broom Sorry for snapping, I thought you meant it.

Which in a way, I wish you did because I have just done some Googling How can people be so homophobic?!

Calling liking vag a fetishism is pretty much as homophobic as it gets!

[MsKite]

They just can't STAND the idea that there are some women who don't worship their mighty penis and in fact have no interest in it at all

[VestalVirgin]

Do you think if I printed out this article and gave it to my local feminist group (the leading members of which have drunk the Trans-Koolaid) this would change their opinion, or would they just declare Ada an exception?

(I have some hope left that they are actually not homophobes who want lesbians to be raped, but ... not so sure.)

It is worrying that the transactivists can spout such hatespeech in public and still be worshipped by the LGB community.

[NeedACleverNN]

Ada would be the exception

They always are

They are allowed to push the limits as far as they can but as soon as it becomes too far its "oh they don't count. It's obvious they are just thing to ruin everything"

[FreshwaterSelkie]

Ada is a total fruitloop. I can't believe they are granted any kind of platform at all.
I was a supporter of the then GaySoc when I was at Edinburgh Uni, as my best friend was in it. I was there at the events, I helped with the petitions, I bought the raffle tickets and went to the benefits and the parties. We didn't expend all that energy fighting for the right of gays and lesbians to be treated as full human beings so that vicious little homophobes and misogynists like Ada could rock up thirty years later and roll all those gains back again by hounding lesbians out of student office positions. I fucking despair. What was the point?

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

I just can't get my head round the level of tolerance there is out there for open hatred of women and especially lesbians.

[LassWiTheDelicateAir]

I'm guessing the name on this person's birth certificate was not "Ada Wells". I wonder if it was a deliberate appropriation of the name.

[DropYourSword]

I also wonder if the expectation to have sex with a 'female penis' extends to Ada themself?

[QueenLaBeefah]

Why is it that straight men who don't want to have sex with a woman with a penis are never threatened or called scum or transphobic.

I would never want to have sex with a man with a vagina. A complete and utter no from me.

[redshoeblueshoe]

Queen I suspect that Ada wouldn't call men transphobic scum - for fear of getting smacked.

[MsKite]

Or 'dickscum'
God knows why Edinburgh uni put up with this crap. I can only conclude that they really don't care about their female students

[DoitotmeSheldon]

What's the saying? "more issues than Vogue" this is a person who is seriously messed up, wants to be a woman but hates women? Hates the police, but I'm sure won't turn them away when they need protection.

[Shakey15000]

Ye Gads, I can't make sense of amy of it

[PepsiPenguin]

Why are lesbians in the LBGT not shouting about this, it's a vile person to say such things! I am angry for them if they have this cockwomble defending / being the voice of them. And I too saw the title and thought another transthread its so unfair these people are being almost tarnished with the same brush I really hope it's not as common as people say, and the police comments is hideous IMO.

What she says is horrifying and degrading to all women, my vagina will be used as I wish thank you very much! As it goes I like my DP penis very much - I couldn't force myself to like vaginas, am so angry about it!

[FreshwaterSelkie]

Ada and their supporters have hounded out anyone in student politics at Edinburgh who speaks against them, notably Magdalen Berns. Those who speak up for lesbians are vilified, while Ada's hateful nonsense is allowed to stand unchallenged. It is not uncommon for transactivism to be homophobic and misogynistic - I'm honestly surprised that anyone is surprised by it.

[RoughMagic]

Why are lesbians in the LBGT not shouting about this

Fear at a guess. I did a quick google and it seems those who have attempted to counter Ada have been hounded out of student politics. The SU seem to support Ada and not those she insults and vilifies.

[Xenophile]

Why are lesbians in the LBGT not shouting about this

One is, and is publicly vilified and has constant vexatious complaints made about her.

The rest, I suspect would like jobs once the pass their degrees and the internet is forever.

[PepsiPenguin]

It's just awful, they can't even speak out in their own organisation when the head of it is just as bad from my limited perspective as the people who I would imagine such an organisation is supposed to be fighting against - I don't know much about how this person would have been put in the role, is it elected? I just hope somehow this person is removed it seems dreadfully unfair.

It just makes me really quite angry it seems very unjust, I hope more become brave and speak out bloody hell they shouldn't have too from what I can see.

[APlaceOnTheCouch]

The question isn't 'why are lesbians in the LGBT not shouting about this?' but as PPs have said 'why are lesbians being ignored and hounded out for being transphobic if they dare to suggest they don't want to have sex with a penis?'
Ada is a particularly nasty piece of work but the biggest issue is that Edinburgh University is legitimising their pov by allowing them to hold an elected position.

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

Exactly what APlace said.

[HornyTortoise]

So sick of all of this nonsense. A few weeks back I had some woman going down my neck as (this was a complete stranger, hadn't seen her before in my life) I was asked what I would do if I was dating someone and it turned out they were pre-op trans. Ie. being a straight woman, if I was dating a guy and it turned out he had no penis and was actually a woman. To be fair I should have just ignored, but I was tipsy and occasionally enjoy random stranger convos, AND I feel it may be necessary to point out I was drinking on the 'gay scene' that night also, where stuff like this is way more common. Nope. Tipsy me said I would be pissed off about the lies, and probably leave them...

Apparently I am an ignorant transphobic mess of a bitch and should be ashamed of myself, its because of people like me that trans people kill themselves?!

I don't think random stranger convos are a good thing anymore. Wow.

[PepsiPenguin]

I'd be gone too tortoise I think most people would.
