So, considering that this thread exists, I want to ask for the opinion of people in regarsd to a recent protest of the Trans-community against Lebians in the UK. I only want to hear if somebody heard of it or not because I saw it and I am conflicted on what the actual heck is going on here, like why is the Trans-community protesting to "Remove the L in LGBT" because I don't understand where that is coming from and I want to hear peoples opinions on it since I don't know where anyones stand on this is.
It wasn't the trans community protesting against lesbians, it was the lesbian community saying they should leave the LGBT label because they don't like being associated with trans women who they think are men, mind you when I say lesbian community I don't mean the whole of it just shitty TERFS
Here's a quote from the leader of the people campaigning:
“The only way to fight lesbian erasure within ‘LGBT+’ groups is to... create an autonomous and strong lesbian community and build alliances with all feminists willing to fight against male domination,”
Yeah, this is largely a bunch of "political lesbians" raising a big stink because the rest of the acronym doesn't hate trans people as much as they do. Anti-trans rags like After Ellen have been pushing hard against the "queer community" lately, and tripling down on attacking trans and non-binary folks too, talking up the same sort of "pure lesbian" stuff. It's weird how much traction TERFism gets in UK in particular though, a lot of prominent bigots come out of there.
i disagree with the whole "lesbians are the villans" thing here, it mostly started with trans women who have atraction with cis-women and wanted to try date some that are lesbians, some of them refused a relationship saying that they didn´t feel attracted to them because they still had male genitallia, that argument ended up hurting some transwomen feelings because they don´t see them as women, and insted of being "ok, you´re not physically atracted to me, that´s fair, everyone has their type" they went on and say that something like that was transphobic and started a trend called "cotton ceiling" wich conssist at convincing lesbians of having sex with them or they will be considered as terfs, and most of the people are ignoring this side of the story
