Time to get the 'L' out!

Facebook just killed another Women's Liberation page (I did not follow it), upon the pressure placed by another page/group called 'Queer Librarian'.

The Women's Liberation Radio News page got targeted because they reported on Baltimore Pride, where a number of lesbians held WL signs. The WLRN page also reported that prior to the event, the Baltimore Transgender Alliance stated "terfs will be hung by their necks". This reporting of BTA by WLRN, incited the Queer Librarian page to gather ranks and report the WLRN page. (You will get the drift by looking at the screengrabs).

Lesbians are no longer welcome at Pride(!) and clearly, anyone that reports what is going on is targeted and banned.

I should really have put quotes round "heterosexuals" too.

SciFiFan2015 - I'm not Daim, but I do ID as gay. For what it's worth, I think I would struggle hugely if my wife wanted to transition. I love her. I'd want to support her. I don't know what it would do to our relationship. I would try and make it work though, because that is what my marriage vows mean.

Re- dating trans women - I have tried it in the past, and it didn't work for me. Since then I've been asked out by a trans woman and said "no, you're lovely but I don't feel the same way" and we stayed friends. No hassle. No big deal. For me, penis doesn't work and so I treat it like smoking, or bad acne or political views that don't mesh with mine - a deal breaker but not one I need to be brutal or mean about. Not sure if it would be different with a post op lady but I hope my marriage won't end and so I don't spend much time speculating on the subject.

Mary Daly wielded a labrys. A symbol, a pendant, an ear ring. Whereas baseball bats (or the UK equivalent the pickaxe handle), even when painted in pastel colours, are an actual weapon. It's like the difference between words (witty graffiti, arguing on a panel), and a punch in the face. And some people still claiming it is all our own fault for not being polite enough.

@SciFiFan2015 I would struggle to be honest, as I am attracted to female bodies. Like @Whatzat298 I love my wife and would want to support her but it would be hard.

I think it is really sad when people feel they have to suppress their gender identity and they enter into marriages, only to 'come out' a long way down the line causing huge turmoil and upset. Someone shared a trans widows thread which shows how much damage it can cause.

When being gay wasn't accepted in society gay people used to suppress it and try and live a lie in straight marriages. It usually comes out in the end with the other partner getting terribly hurt.

If only being transgender was openly accepted by society, nobody would feel they had to suppress it, and all that pain and turmoil could be avoided.

Woah! But firstly, let's get some ratfucking out the way:
But if you're waving a banner that doesn't directly relate to your LGBT experience, but does directly relate to somebody else's LGBT experience, you might expect that not to go down well when you all get together at the LGBT march.

Lesbians, actual lesbians, are WOMEN, FEMALES. They actually have every right to defend female autonomy in every way. The 'L's were there long before that fucking T was added. And they also have the right to be feminists, being female and all. Cotton Ceiling, remember that? They are more than justified protesting that rapetastic bullshit.

For the rest, focus on... you know, the actual HANGING of women part? This is serious shit, and should not be deflected by Daim's screwed up view of the world.

Thanks for that confirmation screenshot Pencils. I took it on faith that the threat was legit (because past behaviour of these groups, always indicative of future behaviour). Not a lot of difference between wishing women would die in a fire (2012), and wishing them hung (2018). Tried and true witch trial stuff really.

Speaking of the Burning Times. Sure, many thought they were 'good women' that would be safe. Not once it got going. They will eventually come for you too. Remember that.

There's really no situation in which "A said that B should be hung" should be followed by "yeah but B was a bit rude, so, you know".

That's not how it happens, because that's not how autogynephilia develops. AGP is the progressive development of a narcissistic fantasy. AGP's don't start off trans but hiding it.

Trans activists who keep denying AGP exist contribute to AGP's staying in hiding.
