It's gone now, but I am grinning at the fact that dinosaur's frothing, bile-flecked rant where s/he fondly imagined s/he was going out in a blaze of instantly deleted glory was still standing two hours later.

I wonder if yoga might help you with that anger, love? It can't be good for you.

I have stopped reporting the posts where TRAs jump straight to the abuse. Unlike our report-happy friends, I'm entirely on board with everybody, everywhere seeing exactly what they write. It's most illuminating. MORE platforms for TRAs where they describe feminists and lesbians! Let's get all those feelings right out there!

And Blythe and sisters - bloody well done. In 2018, stating that a lesbian is a female homosexual is a revolutionary act. Unbelievable. You're very brave and I'd like to buy you a beer.

Yy - you couldn't make it up.

So have I. I would prefer it if they stayed up.

Moonkissedlegs · 07/07/2018 19:23

And what is all this 'trans people didn't feel safe at Pride' crap?

Some lesbians laid down on the floor. Is that 'literal violence' now?

AsAProfessionalFekko · 07/07/2018 19:27

Not sure how true this old chestnut is, but it's interesting, no?

Hysteria comes from the Greek root hystera, meaning ‘uterus.’ Originally, it was believed that hysteria and hysterical symptoms were caused by a defect in the womb, and thus, only women could become hysterical.

UglyCathKidstonBag · 07/07/2018 19:27

Penis pushing is literal violence.

If the same women want to protest at Manchester Pride, I am happy to join in.

PlectrumElectrum · 07/07/2018 19:28

Given the aggressive and abusive response from transwomen on the PN FB feed to the protesters, its not transwomen who have cause to feel unsafe. It would clearly have got much more physical & aggressive if the police weren't there, and that aggression was going in one direction only.

cistersofterfy · 07/07/2018 19:29

Yeah, that's totally true re. hysteria. Obviously bollocks but psychiatry was, and still is, male dominated.

Moonkissedlegs · 07/07/2018 19:36

I have just seen that Pink News Live video on FB - those women were amazing!

Also, the PN reporter was really annoying with his faux incredulous voice, but that's an aside!

SophoclesTheFox · 07/07/2018 19:37

I'd like to see the most extreme gynephobic/bollocks pseudo-science/biologically incoherent testimonial posts stay up on the boards in perpetuity.

Firstly, because I genuinely do believe in the free exchange of views. I don't want any of this censored. That would be hypocritical. And secondly, because some of the nonsense that gets posted in here to "educate" us is fucking fantastic at peaking people Grin

Pride may not be proud of those Lesbians but I am! 👏

ScrumpyBetty · 07/07/2018 19:41

Another round of applause for blythe and the brave protesters standing and marching today at Pride. I support you 100%. Thank you for putting your heads above the parapet. We need to get our voices heard.

BlytheByName · 07/07/2018 19:48

I will have to watch the footage and read twitter etc to see how we've been characterised. But your support here is so gratifying.
I have been very inspired by Mumsnet and the discussions and posters, and your dogged determination to not be silenced. Manfriday also.
The young lesbian who made the Transgenderism thread was the final straw for me. Young lesbians need to see us speaking and acting out. We did that today, like the women in San Francisco and the women in NZ.
As some have said here, us lesbians have been been baring the brunt of transphobia and misogyny for years now.
If you don't believe me, just research how Michfest was attacked.
Today at Pride, we wanted to show that lesbians are not going to be erased. We didn't really think we'd get a look in, but, though we were very nervous and a bit scared, we tried.
Thank you all a million times for your words of encouragement.

Thanks Blythe again.

This is just the start. Let’s have demos like this at every Pride until the message about the misogyny of trans ideology gets through!!!

MrsSteveMcDonald · 07/07/2018 19:55

Nobody is denying that trans people exist, you'd have to be pretty thick to think that feminists are saying that. We just refuse to lie and instead acknowledge biological reality

Nuffaluff · 07/07/2018 19:56

Stop comparing racism with lesbians not wanting sexual relationships with males. It is not comparable.
Transphobia is not okay and neither is bullying.

Juells · 07/07/2018 19:57

I can't believe (well, I can) that a protest by women, about women, has been turned around as being a protest by transactivists Confused Women can't be allowed have a single fucking thing be about themselves, can they?

I've reported chicken's post.

FloralBunting · 07/07/2018 19:58

Wtf does saying lesbian = female homosexual have to do with "denying a trans person for existing", chicken2015?

chicken2015 · 07/07/2018 19:58

So they exisit but its wrong for them to exisit? So like homophobia where Someone sees it as wrong to be gay?

PlectrumElectrum · 07/07/2018 19:58

Aaaahhahahaha just read that the transwomen who spoke to PN who 'almost got arrested' threw a bottle at the protesters & hit a policeman instead. Fucking idiots.

They must be so proud of their aggressive tendencies, surely no one worries about the safety of such delicate specimens who are like tightened coils ready to spring into violence should they feel threatened by a bunch of women walking past

Hmm
Juells · 07/07/2018 19:59

Quite deliberate.

SophoclesTheFox · 07/07/2018 19:59

That doesnt mean you can deny a transperson for existing

Nobody here does this. We all know that transpeople exist, and nobody here wishes them harm. This is about whether it is OK to say that lesbians are female homosexuals, and to find it appalling that at an event to celebrate LGBT, the L were asked to leave, for being L.

There is some seriously twisted people in the world. There certainly are. One of them was on this thread earlier and called us all pieces of shit for supporting lesbians.

Sarahconnor1 · 07/07/2018 20:01

So they exist but its wrong for them to exist?

Nobody is saying that ffs.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 07/07/2018 20:02

So proud of my sisters.
