[ItsOnAmericasTorturedBrow]

Very sad to see that the lesbians marching to protest Lesbian erasure in Leeds were shut down by "trans lesbians"

Sorry "by" not my in title

Why can't men who identify as women, who fancy women, leave lesbians alone?

It's almost stalker-like, preditory behaviour..

They weren’t shut down. They carried on and went to the pub, despite the straight men being very angry about being excluded from their sexuality

The Diva article is total fabrication.

Not only was the march not shut down but it went ahead sucessfully.

There was a small counter protest, mainly by bearded men. But when these antilesbians had their photos posted on social media, the woke trans activists went into over drive. eg Pink News.

The funniest thing about the Diva article is the staged photo of women who supposedly took part in the anti lesbian protest who look more like they were hired from a model agency.

Just google Lesbian Strength and you will see loads of positive support. Not even worth writing in protest to Diva if they want to support men over women.

Better still read the thread on mumsnet about the March which has links to some of the speeches made and some photos. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3663822-Lesbian-Strength-March-and-Rally-in-Leeds-on-7-September-2019?noti=1#89959241

The lesbian strength march was not shut down. Every other account I've read suggests it was a roaring success with only a few TRA protesters.

See here for example (with a lovely speech about Magdalen):

See also Mike Bettney's amazing photos:

Reports from the march start about half way down page 6.

Please share this info with anyone else who if taken in by Diva's fake news story.

You’ve been suckered by Fake News, OP. Why, there are threads on this very board with actual photo evidence that, not only did the march go ahead, it was a really positive and fun experience for the attendees.

Lesbian erasure in Leeds were shut down went ahead successfully despite a tantrum by "trans lesbians" homophobic men who get upset when lesbians don't sleep with them.

Why are there so many bullshit threads on here with some posters bending the truth about issues to suit their agenda

All those photos are taken from very close in, aren’t they? Despite the claim of ‘hundreds lining the route’ I can see maybe 10-12 people at most.

Brilliant photos. Love the angry men photos. 😁

That article is hilariouly bad. I especially like that picture of the signs in the window. Apparently signs were being displayed in windows all across Leeds but it seems they couldn't actually find one to take a picture of so they had to create their own by sticking a couple of their placards against the window of an office. What utter muppets.

I was there.
I wonder if the hundreds lining the streets were invisible.
Apart from a small group of beardy men on a corner, and the few (30ish) people following that was it.
The article is a complete load of made up bollocks.

I'm really glad to be corrected here and apologies to people who were there for believing the fake news. It just shows how widespread the bullshit is spread. It was shared by a major political party's women's page.

Can you say which Party it is?

The funny thing is, is that on the march members of a branch of the Labour Party and a trade union where having an outdoor meeting and they gave the march a big cheer!

Yes it was shared by a Labour Women's page which saddens me greatly - I'm a labour supporter

Sorry but I refuse to believe there is such a thing as a 'trans' lesbian. It's akin to saying a bacon-loving vegan. It's irreconcilable.

It was a great success. I loved the banners - pure joy and celebration.

Those protesting the march were homophobic bigots - shame on them.

Brilliant pics!

Oh, was there another lesbian strength march in Leeds last week then? Because the one I was at was a massive success. I mean there were a few sad sacks with signs saying how their cats would hate us, but the majority of people were cheering us on.

In the Diva article they are making out that the TRA protest crew joined the actual lesbian strength march without being asked.

And that:

As a queer woman it was heart-warming and reassuring today to see LGBT+ communities coming together to support Leeds trans and cis lesbian strength.

“I welled up when I saw all our male allies cheering the lesbian strength march holding banners showing their love for all lesbians – trans and cis.”

Oh really? I only saw them yelling abuse at lesbians, not "showing their love".

Diva? I’d ask Donald Trump first...

Pants. on. fire!

It's akin to saying a bacon-loving vegan.

Only if the supposed vegan was insisting that most pigs love being eaten and only little piggy bigots object.

What are Diva doing?
Lesbians are already marginalized now our own publication is against us.
