These women are bloody brave, if I was wearing a hat I'd tip it to them

I wonder what Justine Greening thinks of that.

Mummy, I totally agree.

These aggressive, abusive TAs are now being held out as speaking for the whole trans community and their dangerous poison is being accepted as official orthodoxy.

It is truly disgusting that the organisers didn't tell anyone in advance that they were going to throw trans people under the proverbial bus.

It's even more revolting that people who hijacked the event were usurping the NHS workers who deserved to lead.

I get that some people want an event to just include LGB pride, but at least have the decency to form your own event!

Catch, I'm so sorry you have had to go through all that.

Our society is being infiltrated by pure fascism.

Been deleted for questioning the tautology of ‘trans lesbian’

Trans lesbian isn't tautology. It's an oxymoron.

Cath, that should be!

Cath and Gwendolen

I'm so sorry

Rufus yes, i find it confusing too...

LangCleg again?
Lesbian is not an identity. Lesbian is a protected class defined in law by sex and sexual orientation.

It is truly disgusting that the organisers didn't tell anyone in advance that they were going to throw trans people under the proverbial bus.

But we aren't allowed to care about lesbians and women as a class being thrown under the bus, right?

No trans people were thrown under the bus.

Brava to these amazing, brave, powerful women for asserting lesbian reality and boundaries in the face of some very intimidating male hostility.

This. I'm still in awe of these amazing women this morning, especially after having watched PN's livestream.

Your voices, raised in support of males who "identify" as lesbians, are currently in the ascendent in this narrative. Your voices were the ones represented at pride yesterday.

Can you not even be truthful about that?!

Yes, Daimbars, do you not understand that female homosexuals weren't represented at Pride yesterday? At an event that's supposed to defy homophobia?

LangCleg again?

Indeed! Thanks! If people are getting posts deleted and strikes for saying this, it clearly needs repeating. So let's go again:

Lesbian is not an identity. Lesbian is a protected class defined in law by sex and sexual orientation.

Mimmy - like the new nickname.

Kate and Rachel here work for the BBC.

Lady and Cath,

Lesbians should not have to be inclusive...it is because we tried not to be mean in the past that we are now in this position today. We know now that it ws a huge tacticl mistake ...too many women feminist and lesbian groups were destroyed by men. This latest attack on lesbian autonomy is just pure misogyny ...so good to see assertion and fightback IRL. Thank you.

It was not Morgane Over. The shouty red dress wearing person was about 30 and British and it was intimidating, we stopped in front of them because of the intimidation and said to the crowd, this is the hatred and behaviour we are demonstrating about.

Good on you for challenging it

Sophocles "This is about the fact that lesbians who don't want to accept penis into lesbian spaces were asked to leave the march that is supposed to be a celebration of their sexuality. "

They weren't in the parade (not a march) in the first place, inserted themselves at the front and did in fact lead the whole thing the whole way, so that sentence is a misrepresentation.

Cosmic "Is that what they said?
I did not see that on the signs or leaflet?"

Read for yourself. It explicitly lays coercive sex at the door of the entire trans movement and LGBT politics. Also there was the banner saying transactivism erases lesbians.

It must have been terrifying. How are you feeling today Blythe?

I hope you know that there are many of us here who support you 100%.

Lesbian is not an identity. Lesbian is a protected class defined in law by sex and sexual orientation.

But just to be clear, the protected class of lesbians includes at least some trans women (those with a GRC who have had vaginoplasty at a minimum).

You women who did this are so amazing

Also in the interests of clarity, boundary transgression is clear evidence of male pattern abusive behaviour as exemplified by the Duluth wheel. It is also as predictable as night follows day. Mildly amusing in safe environments but ruddy great red flags with regards to sex and private spaces.

Question for the posters supporting and celebrating this action.

Do you consider the use of the term " so-called 'transwomen' " acceptable in the context of that flyer being handed out at the front of that parade, or in any other context?
