A quick pop in out of the sun to say:

Star to @BlytheByName and the others. Amazing and yes, very brave.

Angry that all the twittery people objecting to their protest are wheeling out, yet again, the fake fact that LGBT movement owes everything it is to Marsha, who very clearly stated they were not first at the Stonewall riot, and that they were a gay man.

Biscuit to those same people who treat Pride as a corporate-funded party day rather than a political statement.

And finally a big
Hmm to the Pink News 'reporter'.
At about 40mins into their reporting of the action, before they go up to interview them, they clock and refer to 'the transgender people who are objecting to the protest'.

So a) it's OK just for Pink News people to decide the identity of others is before checking in with them? Everyone else needs to shut up and put up, as it would be transphobic to highlight someone's trans status?!

b) how did they know they were transgender? (Hint: we can all see too!)

In practice, young lesbians who say 'I have ptsd from abuse and don't want sex with a penis' are quite badly bullied for this by their peers.

daimbars · 08/07/2018 16:57

Lesbians are women who are sane sex attracted.

Now that I agree with! Grin

AsAProfessionalFekko · 08/07/2018 17:00

Ah but apparently, seeing a penis can be triggering for the transwoman but don't 80% have their own??? Or is is seeing someone else's?

I'm really not following this argument.

Ereshkigal · 08/07/2018 17:07

Because it doesn't play to the idea that these male people are biologically female. I know exactly what you mean though though not sure how I can articulate it under the rules.

I've seen this happen on social media.

I was surprised at how corporate the whole Pride thing has become. Have never been to one but assumed it was an anyone can come march. Sounds like they've done the same thing to Pride that they did to Edinburgh's Hogmanay where it's now the only city centre you need a ticket for then. Looking at the pics of the event looks like very few lesbians with men in elaborate dresses well over represented. If Pink news hadn't mentioned it the women would have got no publicity.
It does sound as thought the LGBT + alphabet soup is turning in to a Y chromosome only pressure group.

This protest has been the best thing to happen in 2018.

What amazing women!

It so has!

Sarahconnor1 · 08/07/2018 17:19

Ah, we are going to be reported, apparently it's 'about time' and we've had plenty of chances 😁

PlectrumElectrum · 08/07/2018 17:20

Oh no! Hmm

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 08/07/2018 17:22

I am absolutely glowing with PRIDE.

I feel amazing - I watched the Pink News video and you see it in real time.

Woman = Female Homosexual.

At the front of the Pride march.

My future grandchildren will hear about this!

daimbars · 08/07/2018 17:24

Not at all - you have to book your parade slot. It's a once a year event which all LGBT people forward to as a safe and celebratory space.

Imagine if it was a women's march and a group of men turned up at the front and started distributing flyers saying women were witches and should be burnt at the stake.

That is effectively what these protesters have done.

Really appalling behaviour at Pride.

Loooooolz!

Reported???

Don't tell them your name Pike.Grin

Lesbian = Female Homosexual

Pratchet · 08/07/2018 17:26

Daim this is majorly bad PR for you. I know you are valiantly doing your best to dress this up, but telling lesbians to take dick or be shamed for bigotry is not going to sell a lot of cat food.

UglyCathKidstonBag · 08/07/2018 17:27

It’s almost like this has happened several times this year but rather than peaceful protest it has featured violence, intimidation and threats.

It's a bit like a bunch of blokes signing up to Mumsnet and pretending they're women/lesbians, so yeah, I see your point.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 08/07/2018 17:28

Im not very happy that the history of gay men is being rewritten

Im not very happy that when i mentioned to ds1 about the 'gender preference is transphobia' schtick that he rolled his eyes and said 'god, i know' as that rather suggests that some fuckwit has said similar to him

And quite obviously i am not very happy at the shit being thrown at all different types of natal women

Abouttoblow · 08/07/2018 17:29

Absolutely disgusted with Stephen Fry's view on Twitter as he obviously has no clue what it's about at all.

And the way he used (the word that's not allowed), obviously trying to pretend he doesn't know what it means.

A really shit thing to do.

daimbars · 08/07/2018 17:31

Parents = a male and female

Holding up a banner at Pride saying:

Parents = Male + Female would be inflammatory and insulting towards gay parents.

Lesbian = female homosexual

Holding up a banner at Pride saying:

Lesbian = female homosexual is inflammatory and insulting towards trans women.

There is a time and a place to ram home truths down people's throats and the one day of the year they are being celebrated is not one of them.

MsBeee · 08/07/2018 17:32

Ok question:

If a natal woman decides to ID as a man, but keep body and presentaion i.e. still wear dresses, no surgery, not bind breasts etc does her boyfriend then become gay? well yes, must be if trans women are lesbians, must work both ways. So now her boyfriend has the protected characteristic of sexual orientation.

Are gay men then transphobic if they are not open to male vagina? male breasts?

Can her boyfriend now become LBGT advisor to say Labour Party? and access services, funding put aside for that protected characteristic ?
