Manchester Pride: women (lesbians) excluded

[CallMeRisley]

Just seen this tiktok- vm.tiktok.com/ZMRBdDa7L/
the captions read:

-Questions we got asked about Manchester Pride

-Did you get to see Baga Chipz [a drag act]

-No

-Why not

-We’re women

-But I thought Pride was supposed to be inclusive?

-Maybe next year… stop excluding people

In the comments the poster explains: “She [Baga Chipz] was on in Eagle yesterday and it was men only. We were turned away based on appearance alone and laughed at when we protested it”.

Lots of other interesting stories in the comments too. Including someone who says “Just change your pronouns to whatever gender suits at the time, isn’t that what the community does now?”

Funny how people can tell what women are when they're excluding them.

Spot on

I'd like to hear from those who think LGB t-shirts are exclusionary. What do you think of an event at Pride that excluded the L?

What would you say if there had been an event at Pride at which men hadn't been allowed in?

It's such a surprise isn't it.

Oh God. HQ, I need a despairing, crying with laughter icon please.

This whole event was just beyond fucked up from start to finish. It's not even coherently fucked up.

Oh, this was the SAME pride event? I thought we were having to collect random rare occurrences from all over the world...
