The this is what radical is now on page 1.
Not said Anywhere. Even on the links.
You're not supposed to question though, like I did, you're supposedly just supposed to blindly go along.
If there wasn't the headfuckery of twisting and wilful misunderstanding all this confusion wouldn't be here.

This doesn't make sense.
Are you asking for what the word radical means?

The very reason why new generations [aka younger people] do not hold positions of political and social responsibility

WTF

I’d have hoped lesbian parents wouldn’t experience That sort of sexist BS.

It’s a bit clutching at straws to suggest there’s no more than 10 because they’re all stuck at home with children.

Thousands of young lesbians made it
To pride, just not on the GC side. In fact I can’t say I’ve seen much support anywhere from young lesbians.

Yay we are in a loop now it's going to go all night like this now.

Nooooooo

Due to gender stereotyped roles which are still enforced on women, this isn't sexist, it's a fact.

is this Leeds related or a total derailment of the thread?

Alwaysgrey · 06/08/2019 20:55

Maybe a lot of young lesbians want to be part of this brave new world we’re entering! 😂

I honestly didn’t realise what was happening until I came over to the Feminist board on MN. The threat is real but very well hidden. A lot of people aren’t informed about what is happening.

I’m also confused when trans is to do with gender why they are now part of the LGB movement which is related to sexuality.

They were brave women indeed, Spartacus. It is not easy to withstand a baying mob (including a high proportion of rather large men, like Richard Firth) yelling at you.

They must have felt threatened, especially since "punch a terf" T shirts are quite popular at Pride.

RosesAndRaindrops · 06/08/2019 20:59

This.
It's Leeds Pride and behaviour at Pride but now it's supposedly about gender dysphoria not being a thing.... so we're back at transpeople are all this again.....
If we changed the subject it'd be derailing.

Trohmaniac · 06/08/2019 20:59

Spartacus me too.

I'm in my mid-40s and my Dad was very involved in a lot of political stuff in the 80s (I marched with the miners during the strike - that sort of thing) and lesbians were always there, on the front line, protesting and making their voices heard.

I have a lot of time for those who are willing to stand up the way that small group did - it took a lot of courage and I applaud them.

And that's what this thread is about.

RedDogsBeg · 06/08/2019 21:00

The only person who is confused and is deliberately obfuscating and chuntering on and on and on about one thing like a dog with a bone is YOU RosesAndRaindrops it is what you always do on every thread you are on, pick one thing and just carp on about it incoherently and endlessly.

Let's try and make things easy for you (and anyone else reading):

The protesters were described as radical in an article about the protest at Leeds Pride.

Posters on FWR wondered what it was about them or what they said that warranted them being labelled radical.

The protesters were stating the factual Legal Definition in UK Law of what a Lesbian is, ergo, they were being radical by stating that definition at a march that purportedly celebrates homosexuals.

Unless of course you can enlighten us otherwise?

random not there

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 06/08/2019 21:00

I said one thing, ONCE.
It's the endless bloody asking for clarifying and wilful misunderstanding that makes it go on for fucking ever.

RosesAndRaindrops · 06/08/2019 21:04

Jacky posting links to gender dysphoria is not one thing
What that has to do with Leeds Pride and behaviour of people at Pride is anyone's guess.

Bespin · 06/08/2019 21:04
