A research student is looking for lesbians for her PHD. Please note that she states cis, trans and non binary . I thought there was only one kind of lesbian and that was biological women who fancied biological women, but this is based in Brighton so that goes out the window.

Wtf is a nonbinary lesbian woman in this lexicon? Is it the new non-trinary, you no longer have to pick between nonbinary and woman you can identify as both?
Or have they gone so far up their own arses they've emerged at gender critical language where a woman who identifies as something else is still a woman?

Trans lesbian? Hmmmm

Pleasantsort2 · 17/02/2026 09:16

Yep. This is what gets funding now. Bonkers and unfair.

Rewriting history and making women's stories about men. See also Glasgow's Women's (Not Any Longer) Library. Sick to the back teeth of them.

Straight men's opinions wanted!

'..To explore how lesbian lives are represented in Brighton and Hove's museums' collections'?

Judging from the 'definitions' of 'lesbian', the answer is, in a word: badly😠

KittyWilkinson · 17/02/2026 09:47

No words left to describe this endless crap.

Just what any lesbian woman wants to be the 1 token woman in a room with 19 heretosexual men 🙃😬🤣🙄

Dr Upton's wife would qualify as a lesbian. Iirc he said they'd experienced prejudice for being in a same sex relationship. I'm assuming the only 'queer' people explicitly excluded would be TiW and the women they're in relationships with.

MarieDeGournay · 17/02/2026 11:36

I think the way it works is that any historical female figure, even one who wore frocks, can be labelled 'queer', whereas actual lesbian historical female figures who didn't wear frocks will be labelled as 'trans' or 'NB' and referred to as he/him.
To put it another way: if you're not a lesbian, you're a queer woman; if you are a lesbian, you're not a woman at all, you're a transman.🙄

Wokey Brighton
I'll bet there are lots of replies from a certain demographic: which will tell them nothing.
Wouldn't it invalidate the research? And for a PhD?
