'drumming overhead for the last hour; chanting, shouting, fake sirens; people waiting outside for us to come out, protesting that lesbians are meeting without men present. They have come to violate our space and “teach” us a lesson in compliance.'

'The police advise there is another exit. They have blocked the road outside, have erected tents. They are waiting for us.'

'I am so angry A woman has said her rapist is in the protest outside I am SO ANGRY Lesbians cannot meet without men punishing us with violence in 2023'

Solidarity with the women meeting today. I'm so bloody sorry you're having to navigate this shit show.

I often do a mental 'in the 90s' test, where I look at an event and think 'if this had happened in the 90s, what would the reaction have been?'

So in the 90s, a mob of violent, chanting men outside a peaceful lesbian event would have been a horrifying, homophobic hate crime and the media would have been aghast and all over it.

Now? Cheer them on. Because...'transphobia'

It's insane.

Absolutely!

So much for ‘progress’ eh?

for all of today’s meeting attendees.

That is a very good question.

I realise I am actually quite shaken by it all. Seeing that photo of them. All these women with short grey or white hair, attentive and ready to listen - you can see it is needed - there to meet and do something so humble, to focus on themselves and their own community.

And these bastards are protesting it.

And the poor women in NZ, ready to give their speeches, to have a voice. And the fuckers drown them out.

Its really got to me.

I think I am going to have to look at cute pictures of animals for the rest of the evening.

I know exactly where Mary Ward house is, I've been very near there today and lots of times recently. I must sign up to some notifications, mostly SKS

This is never going to end. They are furious that changing their ‘gender’ doesn’t give them access to these women so they can act out their porn fantasies.
you can’t bully people into changing who they are attracted to.

So depressing. There is nowhere for lesbians to go.

Meanwhile Saunas and other spaces for gay men are common. Yet we have less active IRL scene for lesbians than in the 1950s. I get it is difficult to sustain a bar scene after all bar/club culture is in decline everywhere.

However it is appalling that we are living in a world where female homosexuals can't even get together for a meetup to plan events without a protest.

Every religion no matter how crazy can do this. Furries can do this. BDSM clubs can. Yet not lesbians.

Good to hear there was a moment of solidarity for KJK too:

Is really is a war on women.

we will win though.

fuck all the misogynistic men

we will win

You can still bully them, and carry on bullying them. This is what it is, an indefinite licence to bully. 😡

When I was younger, it was shameful to have lesbian only events because reasons.
4 decades later, it is shameful to have a lesbian only event because reasons.

Someone really needs to let the TRAs know that it really is not always about them...

I thought police were supposed to act immediately on homophobic harassment nowadays?

Combating hate crime is pretty much a national police target. Every force is on it, they would like us to believe.

Except when gay women are the target it seems. What an absolute disgrace!

Don't you get it; it's the hot 20-something lesbians in porn who are worthy.
These are just middle-aged Lesbians in sensible shoes, who should be home cleaning house and looking after their parents.

Ah, come on. How could you forget the very special lesbians? The ones with cocks.

They are fully protected.

Now if you have to include the lesbians with cocks then you are also going to have to include all the women who only sleep with cocks because we don't know which are lesbian cocks therefore we may be sleeping with 100% lesbians as well! So the lesbians have to let me in now!!!!!!!!! I demand my right to call myself a lesbian as i may have slept with only lesbian cocks!

God that's ridiculous!

@Boiledbeetle
God that's ridiculous

Because it's true. The Lesbians who get police protection and respect are the ones with cocks and the women who sleep with them.

Gods I had it better when I was in the closet!

I am so sick of all this. The war against women and especially lesbians is so much more overt now. But we have to keep meeting, keep talking and reclaim lost space. Us older ones have had more practice so must be at the front. We know where we we stand , we know how to set up support groups we know how to present a strong linked fierce presence.
in a local network I have raised the issues…immediately shut down, told I was a bigot. Now starting new feminist group for any woman wanting more information, and to discuss and act. In two days 5 women have been in touch. Women will continue to talk about it, and this violent behaviour will likewise peak everyone.

I know it's horrifying. I'm so disgusted that in the 21st century we are back to lesbians who are SAME SEX attracted being treated like this it's just so Fucking cruel.

I'm annoyed at how women in general are being treated, but what is happening to lesbians I don't even have the words to describe how it makes me feel and that's looking in on it. To actually be a lesbian in these times must be Urghhhhhh Seriously I can't formulate my anger into coherent thought!

How fucking stupid are these people. Why do they feel the need to try to destroy anything they don't agree with?

Why not just allow other people to meet on whatever basis they want, and just get on with your own interests.

How do they think acting like fascists is helping their cause?

The good thing about this is they are slowly and surely peaking people.

Remember: Peaking is a one way street. No-one who experiences the rainbow-veil falling and see's the horrors that lurk behind, then change their mind and become a TRA. It's peak & never turn back

How can we be in a world where people who think they're progressing are protesting lesbians. What's the difference between this mob and the Westboro Baptist Church? They're both hideously homophobic

I hope everyone got home safe. I wasn't that sure of the value of the meeting when announced, but now I have seen what happened I am really angry.

And the media just dont report. Every thing about the last few days has just made it so clear that right or left, social or main stream, women just have no status.

I suppose that in some bizarre subconscious recognition of the reality of sex, it would seem homophobia is only about men.

We need to start talking about lesbophobia.

Fancy dress optional

Because they're men. They like to protect them

"we will not be divided"

Um. You're literally threatening part of the group that you claim to not want to be divided from. You're hating on them. Just in case you hadn't noticed. If you find them so abhorrent, let them go 🙄

"Why isn't this a hate crime?

Intimidating homosexual women so they stop meeting. Why isn't this a homophobic hate crime?"

Because it was all a pretence. Hate crimes only apply when a female uses a wrong pronoun or puts up a sticker. Actual violence by males against females does not count.
