I didn't go. Just looking at various fb and Insta photos. There seems to be a big group of lessons standing with your/our trans ... placards and very positive. I was surprised and confused. Are they referring to transsexuals or MRAs? ... I'm confused. Did anyone go ? what was the general feel towards trans ?

Well they are being owned on twitter over the use of that statement....stand by your trans...it's all a bit Dolly Parton.

Sometimes it's hard to be an ally
Turning off your brain to believe he's not a man
You'll be censored
And he'll talk over you
Saying things that you don't understand
But if you support him you'll forgive him
Even though he makes no sense at all
And if you support him oh never disagree with him
'Cause after all he's definitely not a man

Ah ha, well as you can see that was exactly my first thought Grin

Does anyone have a link to this? I was at Pride this afternoon but it was so busy I didn’t see much.

PimmsnLemonade · 25/08/2018 21:43

Apparently, they had very tight security after the London Pride protest. Some lesbians were trying to do a counter protest (ie defending same-sex attraction) but I don't think they could get though.

By the TRAs because it's basically 'stand by your man' or by the non-cock-sucking lesbians?

HavingALittleBabyToolshed · 25/08/2018 21:48

Stand by your trans...
Cos after all he’s just a cough

HerFemaleness That was excellent.

HerFemaleness that's inspired! 👏🏼

Women are manipulated into saying that they support trans because to say otherwise is ‘literal violence/terfy/encourages suicide/hurts the feelze/because men say so/bla bla bla”. Telly nothing new here.

Would have just a modicum of respect for Manchester Pride if they had given the GC lesbians a choice, instead of blocking them out, but all I see is men who identify as women, using handmaidens to validate them. No change.

PositivelyPERF · 25/08/2018 22:07

A voice* not choice

FloralBunting · 25/08/2018 22:09

Hardly surprising they battened down the hatches. Only naice compliant lesbians welcome.

VickyEadie · 25/08/2018 22:11

Some Facebook friends posted about how they were going and then posted a load of photos, many of them of what looked like drag queens.

Had to sit on my hands not to say what I thought.

PyeWackets · 25/08/2018 22:16

Wow.

So MUCH backlash against 7? 8? women that stepped up to the plate in London.

Hornets · 25/08/2018 22:16

Please stop saying that Dolly Parton had anything to do with that song.

'Stand By Your Man' was written and sung by Tammy Wynette. (Massive difference).

FloralBunting · 25/08/2018 22:23

PyeWackets, I think those lesbians might have opened up their very own radicalisation portal like MN, whereby they are simultaneously a teensy, meaningless group of bitter women and the most dangerous threat to trans people ever.

I wonder if these portals are opening up in other places?

newishtofacetinkering · 25/08/2018 22:50

Cock sucking lesbian - fantastic new term! or CS Lesbians for short?

newishtofacetinkering · 25/08/2018 22:51

or CSL?

PositivelyPERF · 25/08/2018 22:51

So MUCH backlash against 7? 8? women that swallowed the trans agenda in London.

PositivelyPERF · 25/08/2018 22:55

Oops! I think I completely misread you, PyeWackets. slinks off and swears to have no more wine Sorry

thebewilderness · 26/08/2018 00:33

Thank you for correcting the troglodytes on the singer/songwriter, Hornets. I was so shocked that anyone would blame Dolly for that anthem to tolerating abuse!

PyeWackets · 26/08/2018 08:56

No worries Perf! Grin

It's all so forced isn't it. I wonder if any of these supportive lesbians are comfortable with the fact that same sex relationships are no longer supported by Stonewall?

SPOFS · 26/08/2018 09:04

The choice of song is odd. It makes them sound like they're referencing the misogyny that comes from supporting some TRAs...

They're either being very clever or very stupid, but I'm not sure which!

AsAProfessionalFekko · 26/08/2018 09:10

Men can be lesbians too.

Well at least that's what it seems in this very tipsy turvey world of gender politics. 🤔

Cats can be biscuits - stand by your biscat
Ducks can be apples - stand by your dapple
Children can be cardboard boxes - stand by your kidox
Chairs can be poppies - stand by your choppy
