Some very passionate responses from the lesbian community, since the anti-trans protests.

When Jennifer James pushed to sue the labour party, the result was the labour party clarified it's position as self-id for AWS

This has a similar ring to it, as the anti-trans protesters tried to co-opt the lesbian community, there has been a vocal backlash and clarification of support for trans people.

There's a hashtag to check out... twitter.com/hashtag/LWithTheT?src=hash

As I said earlier, the whole #AsALesbian that some people begin every post with does look like the lady doth protest too much.

straight women on mumsnet

Straight meaning what?
Women mezbing what?

Do you even know?

Datun · 08/07/2018 22:41

Datun we'll just have to wait and see, although I would imagine Diva magazine has its finger on the pulse of happenings in the LGBT community more than a load of straight women on Mumsnet.

Just like Maria Miller thought the only people objecting to self ID were 'women purporting to be feminists.'

Turns out it's 87% of her party.

You must have taken leave of your senses if you genuinely think anyone is going to agree a lesbian is not a female homosexual.

And that lesbians should be considering penises. Seriously.

Senses - taken leave of.

I’m actually really upset by this.
How the dare you dismiss or ignore what I said above? How can you read that someone has been told they need to have sex with penis or they are a Nazi and not say “hey fellow LGBT+ sister, let’s examine why this is happening, let’s fight and get this small group of extremists out of LGBT”?

How?

I am sick to death of AWSLRs (Activists Who Sanction Lesbian Rape) fighting for everyone but the people who are screaming for help! How can you sleep at night? You are complicit.

Pratchet · 08/07/2018 22:44

Daim: we don't want to debate ANYTHING with homophobes. Get this into your head.

Ereshkigal · 08/07/2018 22:44

Go back to the mothership and tell them we rumbled you.

Grin
daimbars · 08/07/2018 22:46

Datun that's not what we're talking about, I condemn those minority TRAs as much as you, but to distribute anti trans propaganda at Pride FFS. You have to admit that isn't going to look good to the outside world.

Bespin · 08/07/2018 22:46

it appears you don't want to debate full stop. lol night night all

Ereshkigal · 08/07/2018 22:47

Night Bespin!

Ereshkigal · 08/07/2018 22:48

but to distribute anti trans propaganda at Pride FFS

Pro lesbian.

littlbrowndog · 08/07/2018 22:49

Oi oi daim why u target Datun.

The lessers not good enough for u.

LeiaTheSlaya · 08/07/2018 22:50

You have to admit that isn't going to look good to the outside world.

The truth? The outside world has triggers now too? It needs to be shielded from facts and information less it causes distress? Nah don't think so. Granted TRA twitter went nuts but meh to that.

The outside world has seen it and knows and we know where the homophobes are cos they're shouting it from the rooftops now.

We see you. 👀

Pratchet · 08/07/2018 22:51

Little brown, you are making me laugh. I love it. 'Oi oi Daim'

daimbars · 08/07/2018 22:52

Remember this case of a gay serial killer recently?

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/25/serial-killer-stephen-port-handed-whole-life-term-murder-four/

Terrible wasn't it?

Is this an excuse to distribute leaflets at pride calling all gay men murderers?!

Some trans people are idiots (much like all human beings) no excuse to hate on all trans people at Pride.

YourMajestyJ · 08/07/2018 22:52

I wonder how women like her and Ruth Hunt sleep at night. They are like the Aunts in the Handmaid’s Tale.

Funny you should say that...

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised that we don't want to debate homophobia with homophobes, Bespin.

littlbrowndog · 08/07/2018 22:53

Yeps but u know the daims on a mission t9 goad datun

Pratchet · 08/07/2018 22:53

Pro lesbian. Not trans-hating. Watch your blood pressure Daim.

thebewilderness · 08/07/2018 22:54

We do not want to debate whether or not women have a right to speak for themselves. How could you question it?

What some people have yet to come to grips with is what it looks like to the outside world when transgender advocates say that women's rights are anti-trans and Lesbian rights are anti-trans.
It looks like misogyny to them, my d00dz. Misogyny writ large.

Datun · 08/07/2018 22:54

You have to admit that isn't going to look good to the outside world.

You still don't get it do you?

The was a protest. At Pride.

Just about the most appropriate place possible.

TRAs are going ballistic. Fanning and fanning the publicity.

That's all this needs. It's all it's ever needed. Sunlight.

Pratchet · 08/07/2018 22:54

I know, trying to get datun banned and deleted.

daimbars · 08/07/2018 22:55

Nah, as much as I disagree with Datun I generally respect what she has to say and find it interesting. Pretty much everyone else on this thread is insulting or troll hunting me.

Anyway, early start tomorrow so night all.

Pratchet · 08/07/2018 22:55

I think the top that will blow first won't be Datun's.
