I think this helps give another viewpoint to the "gay people are anti-trans" trope that is often used by the LGB-Alliance and Julie Bindel etc.

Lesbians often have to put up with harmful stereotypes that may deter them from coming out, and in recent years the "lesbians are anti-trans" is another stereotype on top of the existing ones.

'Lesbians being anti-trans is a lesbophobic trope'

Amy Ashenden, Interim CEO of Just Like Us, is dispelling the harmful trope that lesbians are against the trans community.

Just got deleted for using the shorthand as mentioned above so adding a jay to see how long that lasts, maybe resort to the you know oh just …. Long hand how tedious.

The LGB Alliance and Julie Bundle do not say that lesbians are anti-trans. What nonsense.

This is a view put forward by TRAs who are cross that lesbians don't want lady cock.

I think tbh it depends on how you talk to.

There is a lesbian dating app called Her that permits trans women, it has done so for like a decade and has made it clear they have no plans to change despite receiving criticism.

The trans women I've seen on Twitter often talk about how they have no issue dating whomever they want to.

That's not borne out by the evidence.

"Her" and its client base seem to be doing just fine...

Surprisingly, among the 127 participants open to dating a trans person, almost half selected a trans person of a gender incongruent with their stated sexual orientation. For example, 50% of the trans-inclusive straight women and 28% of the trans-inclusive gay men were willing to date a trans woman, even though one wouldn’t expect either straight women or gay men to be attracted to women.

Oh now, I wonder why that might be...🙄

Not sure what that has to do with trans women meeting cis women through lesbian dating apps?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/01/2024 10:56

Yes, you're right that's mostly about straight relationships. But some will be bisexual, yes.
