Any lesbians feeling a tad battered and deflated?

[ImmortalityMyDarlings]

Or is it just me?

Just read some plonker on Twitter saying that lesbians are just “femininity attracted to femininity”. Makes me sad and angry.

No I feel rejuvenated and proud to be a lesbian , and proud of those lesbians stating our case at Pride. Now we need to get organised...small groups always best.

"Locker rooms" is American for open-plan, communal changing rooms. The sort that used to be single sex, but in which you may now sometimes find (if you are a woman) willies being waved around.

Who said you werent a lesbian?

Lesbian, like 'Woman' before it, is a mysterious, almost impossible to define metaphysical term. Does someone have that screenshot of the Sarah Ditun tweet?

I was told to start my own thread as this is a thread for lesbians.

You had not said you were a lesbian when the poster made that comment

You said you were 'queer', and that you don't support the OP. Its right there on the page.

This isn't a debate thread.

Im a lesbian and queer is just another word for that. Ive said im queer for 15 years. I dont see how that phrase is an issue.

From experience I assume that any woman who calls themselves queer is not a female nor a Lesbian.

My very first post on this thread started with 'I'm a lesbian....'

Well there ya go! Madness that you are not believed on the interwebs!

I'm baffled. I'm heavily involved in LGBTQ world and many of my friends are.lesbian and use the term queer

Our lesbian pub quiz group is the Queer'tys as we work in IT

Out as myself there but oh well

We don't use 'queer' for 'lesbian' in the UK. And this isn't a support thread for women who sleep with people who have a penis; or 'heterosexual sex' as its called.

This thread is to support lesbians who are fed up of being told they have to have 'heterosexual', or PIV sex. As you are now doing.

I find mumsnet very strange. It's like this little.portal not connected to the real world where posters have the opposite attitudes to everyone I know in real life

It's really quite starnge

My very first post on this thread started with 'I'm a lesbian....' hmm

I havent bloody memorised them love

But the definition of lesbian seems to be a bit fluid nowadays, hence my confusion

Well I'm in the UK and I am a lesbian and I refer to myself as queer.

And I do not think anyone should have sex with anyone they do not want to. Or are not attracted to. That is crazy!

So don't use Mumsnet then.

Meanwhile back in the real world I know, lesbians are and always have been female homosexuals.

Well exactly!

Of younfind out a woman you know is trans of course you are under no obligation to be in a relationship/sleep/ oor even be friends with her.
Its not obligatory to be friendsly with everyone.

Woman- I identify as female

Of course you do.

one of many that are strangely 'for' lesbians being teansphobic if they reject penises.

strange how that just keeps happening in this board.

We agree.

Lesbians are female homosexuals.

And transwomen are females if they identify as so :)

Having said that NO biological female who is a lesbian is under any obligation to sleep with a woman if she is trans and it's not your wish to do so.

It's all very simplem

Nah, males can't become females. You're confusing humans with Jurassic Park dinosaurs.

I blame Steven Spielberg for all this. Bloody special effects.

I don't believe lesbians are transphobic if they don't want a penis inside them

That's silly.

Like I keep saying if you sldont want to sleep with a trans woman then don't. It's personal preference.
