Lesbian is a clearly defined protected class. And it only includes human females who are exclusively attracted to other human females.

And I, for one, can not see that ever changing under equality law.

(Despite the people who wrote it seeming to have absolutely zero grasp of how it would all be exploited.)

Me either. And all this reducing things to individual dating preferences gets my goat to the far side of fuck and beyond. Obviously anybody can say no to any sex they don't want. What does that have to do with sexual orientation? Absolutely nothing.

MIdgebabe · 07/07/2018 18:16

Noticed they got a brief mention in the guardian, highlighting them neutrally which I think was good

SingitJane · 07/07/2018 18:19

I'll never forget the look on my almost 40 year old brothers face when I told him Eddie Izzard says he's a lesbian now..

Hang on Singit...he's a man..who has a cock..who likes fucking women. Am I a lesbian then? Grin

Ah yes Empress, good old Riley. I may head over to YouTube and pose that particular headscratcher.

StepBackNow · 07/07/2018 18:25

So proud of my sisters.

Report back if you get an answer!!!!

It does me too. Firstly because it's the go to answer for any woke fucking liberal wanker. There is something creepy and smug about people who deign to let you know that of course you don't have to fuck someone.

And secondly because it is fondly imagined that it's an actual answer to what is a sexual orientation?

"No one is saying you can't refuse sex, literally no one" is NOT a description of sexual orientation.

Lesbians discriminate against every single XY person on the planet.

Biologically and legally.

I'm just watching the footage of the start of pride & I'm even more in awe of these brave lesbian women.

They are bloody marvellous.

I feel like this is such a disconnect between the lgbt and feminist forms of conceptualising of sex and consent.
It's where lesbian feminists can feel a bit orphaned by lgbt discussions.
Sex isn't always about choice and fun and identity.

Sometimes sex is part of women's oppression. Some lesbians are in forced marriages with men. Some suffer corrective rape. Some live in countries where their identity as a lesbian can be a death sentence.

You can see today that the statement 'lesbian = female homosexual' resulted in bottles thrown at women, names called at women etc.

I know young women who have identified as transmen and then lesbians. The bullying and coercion they experienced to 'consider' transwomen when they were exhibiting a trans identity morphed into more bullying, and ostracising when they tried to get away from the coercion by saying 'actually I'm a lesbian'.

It's not as simple as 'just choose'. Women and lesbians in particular need all the support we can get with maintaining our boundaries as a class, I think. If you don't feel that as keenly as I do, then lucky you and I hope your life continues in such a charmed fashion.

This is 100% pure gold, the whole start of PN footage is all about the protests & their interviews. This is worth £££££ PR exposure.

They are absolute sheros.

PN are incredulous throughout. This is brilliant.

Have you got a link Plectrum?

I'm off to water the lottie so will be back in 30 mins and would love to have a watch when I get in.

hey trans gals who went to London Pride today and had to see the TERFs protesting our existence,

i love all of you. you're fucking great. you're a woman. if you identify as such, you're a lesbian. TERFs don't know shit. they're vocal, but they will lose out.

lots of love 💕

We need to start calling these people one term and one term only “Rape apologists”.

Wow, RJDs twitter from today is like one big stream of bile.

It must be such a relief when something like today happens and he can open the tap on the misogyny and relieve all that pent up pressure.

Oh yes. Read the #LondonPride hashtag to see how much many of the people tweeting it hate insufficiently subservient women.

PlectrumElectrum · 07/07/2018 19:12

Tells, it's via FB on the Pink News page.

The reporter covering has tried his best to stir up negative reactions to the protesters, he's witnessed the hostile abuse they've had & he's got zero comment other that amusement. Repeatedly commenting they have problems with trans when they've clearly stated they are protesting lesbian erasure.

Pink News seem to have a lot of trouble understanding lesbians. Who knew eh?

UglyCathKidstonBag · 07/07/2018 19:13

A search of “pride trans” shows the sheer anger and bigotry lesbians face.

YY Lang and Datun I have said before that this is not the point at all. Anyone can say no to any individual yes. But that is irrelevant to whether lesbians reject all biological males and lets homophobes off the hook, because that is sexuality not individual preference.

PlectrumElectrum · 07/07/2018 19:17

He's now found some transwomen to echo his own lesbophobia & the protesters have been compared to the west borough baptists - yep course they.
