Is this the first time a GC activist (rather than an academic) has been on Women's Hour?

They've started by acknowledging lesbian erasure, this sounds promising.

"Are lesbians being sidelined by what some call lesbian erasure"?

Listening now! This shouldn't be necessary but glad they are taking notice.

Promising!

Angela Mason from Stonewall dismissing the idea of lesbian erasure.

Talking about how we need to not fight among ourselves but fight the threat of a right wing resurgence.

Obviously she can't see the cuckoo is already in the nest. Transgenderism is neoliberism with added glitter. It's misogyny on steroids.

Woo! Go Angela!,

And Jane Garvey spelling it out too

MsMcWibble · 02/07/2019 10:12

Angela Mason telling us to shut up.

MsMcWibble · 02/07/2019 10:13

Angela Wild is great.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 02/07/2019 10:13

Angela Wilde putting it so well

Wtf is AM on about?

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 02/07/2019 10:14

Jane Garvey really took pains to spell that out

BoreOfWhabylon · 02/07/2019 10:16

This is great!

Aethelthryth · 02/07/2019 10:17

About time

MsMcWibble · 02/07/2019 10:17

What about lesbians rights to be accepted at Pride. Bloody hypocrite!

dancingcamper · 02/07/2019 10:18

Omg a woman stating how transwomen should feel safe at pride. What about the lesbians who know lesbians don't have penises?

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 02/07/2019 10:18

Yes, why is it more important for biological males to feel comfortable at Pride than lesbians?

MsMcWibble · 02/07/2019 10:20

So we should discount what detransitioners say cos Ruth Hunt made money from Stonewall promoting the T?

dancingcamper · 02/07/2019 10:23

That was 3 to 1, I wonder if that is a true representation of opinion at the moment.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 02/07/2019 10:23

Real failure to address this ‘same gender attracted’ rubbish

MsMcWibble · 02/07/2019 10:23

Heavily weighted again. Angela Wild did really well but really BBC - you call that balanced?

RubberTreePlant · 02/07/2019 10:24

Good!

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 02/07/2019 10:24

I wonder if any of those apologists have sexual relationships with males?

OMG Kate Davies - who is she?

What a dangerous idiot. So, because she hasn't experienced lesbian erasure, neither have her friends, because Ruth Hunt hasn't experienced pressure to transition as a butch woman, then it isn't happening.

What a fool.

Did I just hear one of them say that transwomen had a right not to feel threatened at Pride marches?! (Not saying they don't, but really? A smattering of lesbians with a lesbians don't have penises banner are the ones in the wrong?)
