How dare lesbians exclude men?
I remember when Pink News was for lesbians and gay men. Seems like only yesterday. Now it gloats at bullying of lesbians.
Hundreds of LGBTQ+ women tell trans-exclusionary Lesbian Project: ‘You do not represent us’
What are LGBTQ+ women? They’re not anything, because no one can be all of those things. Why is Pink News rejoicing that confused lesbians are shunning and scolding lesbians for being lesbians?
More than 800 lesbians have signed an open letter to The Lesbian Project, denouncing the trans-exclusionary group as not reflective of the “lives, needs and community” of lesbians.
That is, more than 800 lesbians have denounced other lesbians for not being inclooosive of men. Why are lesbians denouncing other lesbians for being…lesbians?
The Lesbian Project was launched earlier this month by Kathleen Stock and Julie Bindel, in response to the suggestion that lesbians are being “erased” and “silenced” in society.
The pair have appeared across the media to discuss the project, saying it “highlights and champions the experiences, insights and sensibilities of lesbians in all their diversity”.
They have courted controversy for their anti-trans views, and concerns have been raised that the new project will be used by some as an undercover means to push anti-trans viewpoints and other narratives harmful to the community.
The old agent-free “concerns have been raised” – Pink News is “raising the concerns” itself but prefers to pretend it’s unspecified concerns-raisers in their thousands or millions. Also the old “narratives” when they mean analysis or knowledge or both. Also of course “anti-trans views” when they mean rejection of the reality-denying claims of the more fanatical trans ideologues – like the people at Pink News.
The letter goes on to say: “Our community is beautiful precisely because it is made up of gender non-conforming lesbians, trans lesbians, non-binary lesbians, butches, studs, femmes, lesbians of all kinds who make up a tapestry more vibrant than you can imagine.”
So their community would be max beautiful if it were made up of anyone and everyone, right? If it’s vibrantly made up of “trans lesbians” i.e. men then why even call it the “LGBTQ+” community? Why not call it the everyone community?
I was in a discussion with some of the Gender Confused about this.
The conversation went along these lines:
“How dare they try to split the alphabet community!!!”
“Well, they’re not. They’re just going to do advocacy and networking and stuff just for (proper) lesbians. The lesbians can still consider themselves as part of the alphabets if they like and vice versa”
“Then why have they organised around hating trans people? Why isn’t their message just that they love lesbians?”
“Their website says pretty much exactly that [posts url and excerpts]”
“Well what are they actually going to do?”
“What does it matter? They can do whatever they like, they don’t need anyone’s approval to exist. What do you want them to do?”
“We just want them to leave us alone.”
“Well, that’s exactly what they’re doing. That’s exactly what you were complaining about.”

Ah, but what you’re missing, latsot, is that their very existence is the pea under all the Gender Confuseds’ mattresses, and until that pea is removed they cannot sleep.
