I love "I don't give a fuck" version of JK Rowling. She's on Twitter just now (ish) obviously praising Allison Bailey and generally supporting Lesbian Visibility Week for actual lesbians.

She's such a tonic

A lesbian that includes a person with a dick (or who pre surgery had a dick) is not a lesbian. She is a bisexual woman.

Or is still a man with/without a dick.

Some people have no idea how preposterous their ridiculous frothing looks.

It gives us a laugh, though.

The good ladies of MN (well, this thread anyway) might like to check out this item...

“Inclusive” lesbian.

What a bunch of bullshit. Inclusive should mean the woman can be black, blue, red, green or yellow if they want to be. But they can’t have a penis as no woman has a penis.

Inclusive to TRA’s seem to be a lesbian must accept a “lady dick” because TWAW.

No. Penises are not included in lesbianism

I think most reasonable people know she gives zero fucks for trans people despite claiming she knows and 'loves' trans people. Everyone knows which is why her brand is getting more toxic.

Lesbian Visibility Week was founded by an inclusive lesbian, not a transphobic one.

Throw that one past me again?

We know that a woman laughing at a man is quite literally deadly. So yeah, your first paragraph might actually have a point.

But "an inclusive lesbian?" Wassat?

@Peregrina 😂😂I was trying to "be nice". I don't know what gets you dumped off MN these days. But you can read my thoughts.

‘Lesbian Visibility Week was founded by an inclusive lesbian, not a transphobic one.’

You can’t just take a word and change its meaning for everyone else and then say you ‘founded’ a week that uses that word.

A lesbian is either a female person only sexually attracted to female people, or it ain’t. People who believe it is are going to say so, and there is nothing you can do about that.

tabbycatstripy · 25/04/2022 17:46

Otherwise I might say I can redefine ‘penis’, or ‘testicles’, so those terms include other concepts... then complain loudly and violently when people who actually have those things (men) try to talk about them.

I'm an inclusive vegetarian. I do like a nice kebab.

Better to be an inclusive vegetarian than a meatphobic one.

SpindleInTheWind · 25/04/2022 17:58

I do sometimes wonder why our own dear DizzyOfManc seems so very jealous of the well-liked billionaire JK Rowling. My mystery to unravel, I suppose.

Are you a lesbian? If you are would you happily shag someone with a penis? If you are not would you happily shag someone with a vagina?

My work's alphabet group promoted lesbian visibility week today...and made it very clear it was for LGBTQI+ women & nonbinary, as well as lesbians, specifically in that wording order. Nice eh.

And then said the most important thing was unity with ALL women, esp those of marginalised communities. Guess who they mean here? The Most Oppressed Group of course, aka not boring shitty actual females.

So let's look at this assertion that LVW is about LGBTQI+ women ...

L - yes, correct..please stop there. Oh gawd you're not going to stop there are you? Of course you're not...

G means gay men so nope, unless you mean lesbians who call themselves gay in which case okay, but this isnt what's meant by the G part of the alphabet

B are bisexuals so no, you know, because bi women aren't actually lesbians

T women are transwomen so hell the no not these, and as they specified WOMEN they're excluding transmen from the T here

Q may include lesbians who describe themselves like that so okay, but def not the rest of the Qs

I - are nothing to do with this & many have asked not to be lumped with the rest like this, if they're female & lesbian they're included in the L part

'+' ...is what the hell & definitely nothing to do with lesbians

So the only emphasis of the email to the entire workplace was to make LVW inclusive of most alphabet people especially the poor oppressed males, but excluding transmen. Nice eh? Lesbians have to be the coat holders for everyone else but can't even have a lesbian visibility week that actually centres them. I may have sworn several times reading that pile of steaming nonsense.

OutlookStalking · 25/04/2022 18:20

Its like when they centre men on women's day isnt it....

First Caroline Farrow and now Baroness Nicholson, she sure is friendly with women that really, really don't like lesbians.

Hmm

Of course ignoring the fact that JKR is also friends with lesbians. Just not the right kind of lesbians with the right priorities, am I right??

Do you really want is fo start listing all the very dubious TRA?
Shall I start?
Gordon Pike helped draw up Scottish Prisons policy to allow male prisoners to serve their sentences in female prisons, if they self identified as women, now serving time for Child pornography.
Shall I go on ?

We'll leave that up to the good readers of Mumsnet to make their own minds up.

MrsBrodie · 25/04/2022 18:34

@Popeyr are you saying JKR is homophobic?

RoseslnTheHospital · 25/04/2022 18:36

@Popeyr no, I think it's very important that you let us know what the correct way to think on this is. Wouldn't want to be investigated for wrong think, of course.
