He seemed to understand
Graham Linehan responds to Matt Lucas, starting with a phone call from Lucas a few months ago begging not to be cited for throwing women under passing buses.
He told me that with a big gig coming up, he had to stay out of trouble. I agreed to lay off, because he seemed to understand that he had called the whole thing wrong.
So Lucas shits on the LGB Alliance anyway.
Matt, I’ll say again what I just sent you in a text. Kate and Bev have been fighting for the rights of gay and gender-nonconforming people since before you were born. Allison Bailey is a lesbian barrister who Stonewall tried to have fired for standing up for her rights. You have smeared them all disgracefully.
Your tweet shows that you “don’t care to know” lesbians who are being harassed and coerced by entitled , aggressive AGP men, who are using trans rights as a cover for their abuse. You “don’t care to know” the gay men who are facing the same pressure from young, straight women who are convinced they are gay men. You “don’t care to know” the young women, many of them gay, who have had their bodies taken from them because they fell into the trap of gender ideology at a young age.
Never mind all that L and G nonsense, it’s all about the T now.
Jeebus Creepus. If I’m accosted by a “young, straight woman convinced she’s a gay man,” what’ll I do?
I got it. I’ll claim I’m phallosexual.
OMFG….I thought I was just joking.

And, no, they can’t spell.
It always turns out to be not a joke when it’s this subject.
Note that the “trans-feminine lesbian” was bullied out of his half-assed attempt at recognising, in his muddled way, the brute reality of sexual attraction.
What if a lesbian identifies as asexual? Wouldn’t all attempts to coerce or bully her into sex be denying her lived reality? Oh, wait, it’s the TiMs who matter, always matter, only matter.
Response:
“This is typical Terf rhetoric, and it does not happen! NOBODY is trying to harass, coerce, or pressure lesbians and gay men into having sex with them, that’s in NO WAY connected to being transgender or advocating for basic rights and dignity for trans folx, it’s a LIE!
If you are a lesbian, then you OF COURSE are allowed your tastes and preferences. Same with being gay. Though, if you dismiss all lesbians who happen to be transwomen as a kind of rule or something, that does suggest you might be a bit prejudiced — and it’s probably something you might want to work on, m’kay? Transwomen are women, after all, and especially vulnerable and sensitive to being rejected due to anti-trans bigotry. Same for transmen, who … struggle to be seen as who they really are. Their struggle, is our struggle. No LGB without the T!
So, if you haven’t already, at least think about giving it a try. Girldick isn’t like a man’s penis, it doesn’t feel or even smell the same. And boy pussy isn’t like what’s on a girl. Far from it — we’ve left those hackneyed old-fashioned unscientific beliefs in the past, right? Being transphobic would be saying — or even thinking — that “lesbians don’t do dick” and that that is all that gay guys do. We’re same-gender attracted. You’re same-gender attracted. We’re not bigoted TERF-y “genital fetishists.”
Right? Yes. They’re making stuff up.”
Ad Sastra:
And that thing about same sex attraction, well, if you think about it genital fetishes just aren’t healthy. You love the person, or at least are attracted to the person not to what kind of hole (or 2) they have. And the front hole is just like the back hole only it’s pre-lubed! If you can’t love everyone, you can’t love anyone and you are hurting feelings.
So, that whole reason you were teased and bullied and called queer? It’s nothing! Forget it. Everyone’s queer now! Even cishet people with purple hair who like old goth! (when you think about it, they’re the real victims in all this.)
If you think about it, “genital fetish” is an oxymoron.
Isn’t that the same inclusivity argument used to get TiMs on women’s teams?
