After the amazing protest at London Pride, please watch and share Julia Long's recent talk on lesbian erasure

Getting woke publicity for yourself as an individual or for an organisation is not the point of pride, it is especially not the point that woke publicity for the NHS ismore importantthan lesbians protesting homophobia....

Julia Long is a ledge. Gavel.

BeyondRaggydoll · 09/07/2018 09:54

Or we could go with

JL is a ledge. Fact.

It would be laughable if it wasn’t so deeply worrying that Pride is now considered to properly be about the NHS virtue signalling and raising consciousness re cuts to the service and lesbians protesting homophobia is a corruption of/anti pride and has ‘no place at the event’...

Beggars belief! Utterly gobsmacking that people actually believe this and totally supports the entire point of #getthelout

She certainly is articulate. The woman can talk for hours without an um or an er or, apparently, breathing.

And she is bloody funny.

Don't forget this is the same nhs that "coercively and violently assigns a baby's gender". Relevant...

Their actions were disgusting to take that away from those proud NHS staff.

This is a desperate attempt to spin some support from people who either don't agree with or dont give a shit about trans activists. "Make it about the NHS, people will support that!" = an obvious acknowledgement that most people dont support trans politics. And further, it's another attempt to erase lesbians - people arent going to be fazed by lesbians with protest banners at Pride, they may take in that those lesbians are protesting trans. A really obvious attempt to bury both the lesbian and trans part of the story, quick look over here instead!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Women are funny. Why do men spend all this time raging when they could be funny, like women?

LangCleg · 09/07/2018 10:04

oi oi, NHS.

Oi oi at myself - how could I forget #nodebate ?!

Offred · 09/07/2018 10:29

Good point Joan, unfortunately though I reckon the ‘pride is about celebrating diversity and inclusion in a safe space’ lot that have ‘widened participation’ to the point that now the only people pride is not for are straight white men who identify as straight white men and are not affiliated to any corporation or organisation which wants to ‘show support’.

therealposieparker · 10/07/2018 13:59

I love Julia Long. Her courage in standing up for women is outstanding, I am in complete awe.

TerfsUp · 10/07/2018 14:05

Hooray for Julia Long!

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 10/07/2018 14:12

Julia Long is fucking awesome. She's got ovaries of steel, a mind as sharp as a scalpel, integrity written down right through her like a stick of rock and compassion for women fathoms deep.

#nodebate

I want to do some sort of tribute to the 8 brave women on Saturday. Like retrace their steps on the route of the march with banners showing solidarity and respect...

Cultural Genocide of Lesbians

Awesome talk and speaker

gendercritter · 11/07/2018 00:53

Lol at the poor, fragile NHS staff. Do you know what some of them deal with day in, day out at places like A&E?

I think they were probably ok handling a few wimmin coming and lying down in front of them.

edithann · 11/07/2018 02:00

drradfem Immense respect for Julia Long and also for you, my dear

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 11/07/2018 05:15

Hats off to Dr Radfem too!

PersonWithAVulva · 11/07/2018 16:11

The women were amazing. The 'omg poor NHS' stuff is hilarious too actually. I thought the NHS was violent to trans babies, or something? Its the NHS fault that people think transwomen are men, its all because of a random label stuck on babies when they are born?!

A few women still have people talking about it, and men FOAMING days later. They are all anyone is talking about from that march. I know some think they should protest in a silent street away from all eyes and such so that noone knows whats goping on, but air is what this whole thing needs, and where better to protest the treatment of lesbians by transactivists than Pride? Pride is not meant to be a sparkly party, or..as someone said on here somewhere where trans people (not LGB, only trans) are celebrated. It started a s protest, and pretty much still is.

Is Twitter still aflame about this, or is it settling down?
