The writer of Dykes is part of Clean Break and some women are listening to this going "oh I know who that's based on". But great to hear references to events and organisations that actully existed as opposed to writers thinking they can create a fiction version of what WLM activism.
Just worried as it is the BBC as to how they will show the division between WLM feminism and current queer / trans feminism. suspect it wont be true to life but will be in line with BBC wanting to show young people how woke they are.
And I started to listen to the play about the trumpet player who was found to be female because someone mentioned it here.
I was thinking / hoping it would be a storyline more like Albert Nobbs which was very moving and about how women trying to survive on their own adopted a male persona to get access to work and acceptance they wouldn't get as a woman. The son comes over as an obnoxious MRA.
But neither of these compared to listening to the trial of the Well of Loneliness a book that was held up as a lesbian classic.
I know it was written in a different time but all the stuff about "inverts" and talking about liking male pursuits, was for me the opposite of lesbian ie same sex attraction. And the wikkipedia entry talks about about it in terms of being a forecast of trans ideology. Disturbing as I remember many women raving about it and would never have thought they thought their being lesbian was to do with having a male identity.
