Lesbian Visibility Week

[ASugarr]

As Lesbian Visibility Week comes to an end, I want to make a quick reminder that
ALL LESBIANS ARE VALID!

Cisgender and Transgender women can be lesbians. Transgender men who date women don't consider themselves lesbians. All Lesbians deserve visibility!

Additionally, many have stated that they don't wish to date transgender people. That's fine! Just because someone is in the same dating pool doesn't mean you MUST be attracted to them. Plus genital preference is also totally fine! But don't forget, trans women are women so please do not degrade them just because you personally don't wish to date them.

Plus, let's continue to educate one another on the important information. Like preventing STI's as a lesbian, domestic abuse in lesbian relationships and how to deal with that, safe and consentual sex between lesbians. This is what we need to be educating young lesbians and bisexual women on.

Have a fabulous long weekend all 🤍🌈

Please don't write trans women or trans people as a single word. It is offensive to most trans people

Funny how you don't want your spaces taken away, isn't it?

BOOM!

Awesome 😀

Beautiful.

Indeed. I'll write transwomen with a space when everyone agrees that women can keep their sex based rights and uphold the exemptions in the Equality Act, ta.

love it

Down with grammar based oppression!

Which is a really long winded way of saying you have cis privilege Well, that didn't last long. Deal's off, Shizuku

BRILLIANT.

Yes - @theThreeofWeevils really had the last word on that! I thought it was pure gold and one of the best come-backs ever!

LOL. Brilliant!

Also loved this one as @YoniAndGuy answered @ASugarr so eloquently:

ASugarr: How can a woman mansplain? Explain that to me?

YoniAndGuy: Oh so biological sex matters now, does it?!

🤣

Just love it - the women of FWR are so good!

Why are all the things I've seen for lesbian visibility week

Not centred on lesbians?

They are all saying it's for multiple other groups as well.

Not very respectful towards lesbians, really.

I don't get how?

A bunch of the thing I mentioned are. Like STI prevention needing more attention, and etc.

Genuine question - why?
Should it it transwoman, trans woman, trans-woman? What's the actual difference? they are all biologically male

It's like when we say white woman, cis woman, tall woman. We include the space as trans is just a descriptor and they are women.

It's so they can drop the trans part
The descriptor is male so we could replace trans woman with male woman? Factually correct and easier for people who don't understand the ideology to grasp what a TW is
I've seen on twitter, I think it was either, or both, LOJ or our not so charming GP, refer to TW as woman and women as cis women. The end goal I believe. Leave women with nothing and we have young women propping up this movement
Like turkeys voting for Christmas

Can you answer this question please Shizuku? I'm interested to know why it's offensive.

But Asugarr, on what basis are male people women?

We established upthread that it's not biological sex, & contrary to your confused assertion, it's not a legal status either.

Whereas (tall white woman here) two of your other descriptors are adjectives, albeit we have also established that the third is both offensive, & a prefix not an adjective.

ASugarr has said previously that a woman is just someone who wants to be called a woman & have she/her pronouns. That’s all, apparently.
