Another swoony Guardian article

[Clangyleg]

A couple in love, surprise surprise one of them is a tw. Glad they are happy but it is certainly not a lesbian relationship and they do not “have a woman’s body”, nor have they “always been a woman” . I think “articles” like this are not helping the debate one bit. Sick of seeing them. A bit of reporting on the not so nice men might be more useful.

IcakethereforeIam Your post made me laugh - love it!

And no I am not going to link it. Don’t want to give it any more attention.
😕 So you start a thread inviting discussion on something you don't want to draw attention to?
Make it make sense 😂
Because it does come across like you just wanted the chance to sneer along with everyone else if that's the case

This one? Enough posts now to have a stab at guessing which article you meant So some lesbians do date and accept trans women as women.
So what? That's up to them, surely?
If you don't then fair enough, but you shouldn't get to tell others what label they are bit gate keepery shizzle is that www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/jun/13/how-we-met-i-noticed-she-was-transgender-and-remember-thinking-she-seemed-sweet-and-shy

Everyone else has managed to find it and read it to form their opinion, what makes it so difficult for you? If you want to post a non-sneering opinion, feel free to do the same.

In the mean time, do you think a female and a male who wants to be seen as female is a lesbian relationship?

You must have cross posted with my last post as I seem to have have found it and have since commented on it

But you’re cross post didn’t actually answer my question:

Do YOU think this is a lesbian relationship? Not what they call it themselves, not whether they should self define it, but do YOU think they are in a lesbian relationship?

I have no idea why you would think this article is gaslighting lesbians into believing they should accept male partners, unless that is the only portrayal of same sex relationships in the Graun which it is not.

In the same way there are plenty of stories in that section about relationships forming across different countries - I don’t read those and think, oh I’m being told I must have a long distance relationship!
