A group of lesbian activists blocked the start of the Pride in London march today (7 July) in protest against transgender women.
A group of eight women stormed the parade route without accreditation. Then five of them laid down on the road in front of the parade and draped a banner over them.
The banner read: ‘Transactivism erases lesbians’. They then blocked the parade route for about 10 minutes. One of the activists shouted out: ‘A man who says he’s a lesbian is a rapist’
The group also had a banner that said ‘Lesbian = female homosexual’, as well as flyers with the organization ‘Get the L out’ as the headline. The flyer states: ‘The trans movement is… coercing lesbians to have sex with men. We firmly condemn this vicious form of anti-lesbianism disguised as progress.’
Lesbian activist: ‘Only women can be lesbians’
She continued: ‘Only women can be lesbians. A man who has surgery can never be a lesbian.’ Sarah Mason, founder of Get The L Out, told GSN: ‘It’s a coalition of individual lesbians and feminists. It’s also feminist organizations such as Object, Mayday 4 Women, Critical Sisters and Lesbian Rights Alliance.’ She said her sexuality is seen as transphobic and exclusive ‘just because we are women attracted to women.’ ‘We don’t want any kind of penis in our bedroom,’ she said. ‘I’m really sad I have to reassert this again. ‘It’s everywhere online – it’s everywhere in LGBTQ centres,’ she said. Gay Star News reached out to Pride in London for comment. ––– UPDATE: A Pride in London spokesperson told Gay Star News: ‘Every year, Pride is attended by hundreds of thousands of people who demonstrate that Pride still matters. Given the hot weather and in the interest of the safety for everyone attending today’s event, the parade group was allowed to move ahead.
‘We do not condone their approach and message and hope the actions of a very small number people does not overshadow the messages of the 30,000 people marching today,’ the spokesperson said.
Speaking to Gay Star News, Jan Williams from Object said: ‘Transgenderism is conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is wrong.’
Just wait until they figure our what muslims teach, believe and act upon about homosexuals...

Give both sides guns.
Trouble in Paradise
They are close to coming full circle with this crappola. Pretty soon normal women who feel left out will call themselves ‘transfemale transwoman’ : a female claiming to be a male who claims to be a woman.

Liberals say everyone’s view is equal. And they say what feels good is good, so what you want is right.
The problem comes up when there are conflicting demands.
They’ve instituted a moral hierarchy based on who is considered the most oppressed. Intersectionality can be seen as someone trying to move UP the hierarchy by claiming multiple categories. When all else fails, the smaller minority wins. There are more lesbians than transgenders/cross-dressers, so transgenders win.
And this is affecting lesbians in a number of ways. A mentally ill biologically intact man in a dress with normal sexuality walks into a “gay” bar. He says he identifies as a woman, so he’s a lesbian. Starts propositioning women who are attracted to women. They might “date” him but won’t have sex with him.
This is dismissively called the “cotton ceiling”. How dare lesbians refuse to have sex with the transgender lesbian, you’re an evil oppressor. Yes, lesbians are being bullied for not having sex with a crazy dude. And many liberals are going along with it because they won’t dare tell the truth to the deluded individual. This is how you get someone saying he has a female penis, because he’s really a woman inside.
I am not kidding about this. I’m a married woman who was sexually harassed by a man like this at work. I was told it wasn’t sexual harassment because he was a she, I’m the bad one for not going along with his pronouns, this is just a dispute between two women.
To be fair, there have been articles coming out saying heterosexual men are bad for not having sex with homosexual friends, so this is truly liberals pulling from “Brave New World” that no one should ever say no to sex with anyone.
The next issue is affirmative action. He shows up at an event claiming to be a woman. Now he’s the star of the women’s event, because it is so exotic and rare.
One example is Bruce Jenner getting women’s awards. What? Now women have to compete with men for women’s awards? Another was a man who transitioned to a woman and became a “top paid woman in IT/tech” ... despite being a man for 50+ years.
Then there are sports. Whether it is a girl taking testosterone or a boy who is taking estrogen, BOTH cases are essentially doped up and/or modified to have an advantage over normal women. Girls aren’t good enough for girls’ sports.
Female athletes crushed by ‘women who were once men’
http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/female-athletes-crushed-by-women-who-were-once-men/
A liberal said we ought to end all gender segregation of sports because it is oppressive, throw everyone in to be inclusive. I said that was unfair because biological men were stronger and generally faster than the average woman, so you’re guaranteeing women lose. I was told that was sexist and transphobic. Hate facts. You’re not allowed to say those things.
Transgender beats lesbian in the oppression olympics, so feminists and lesbians who challenge this insanity get charged with hate crimes.
Labour feminist who took on the party’s trans activists is questioned by police, accused of ‘hate crime’

Liberals have gone from saying group differences are minor so lets ignore them or correct for them to delusional “everyone is equal and equally interchangeable”. It denies differences between individuals and groups. It denies biological reality.
They over-compensate in other areas by demanding everyone live out ethnic and racial stereotypes to a T. That you must follow the uniform from clothing to hairstyle to ideology to food choices.
Oh, holy he-she-it. Too many moving parts. And none of them in the right place.
I’m shocked I agree with lesbians on something.
Of course I still can’t believe that decent people tolerate that ugly dyke Billie Jean King in her attacks upon Margaret Court and the Australian Open.
hahahahahahaha!
Social justice is a merger of ideology and identity, tribe and faith.
In the Old Testament, all Jews were to worship Yaweh and those who didn’t were killed or cast out. The combination of ethnicity and faith reinforced the tribal identity ad pushed conformity with the ideology.
Liberals just ignore the fact that they’re doing the same with a political ideology. That all REAL blacks, women, etc are liberals. And that their friends and family will push political conformity to protect them from shaming, shunning, or actual violence.
*snicker*
I love it when the paths of Intersectionalists intersect
Then why did he change? How can a man be a lesbian? So confusing.
There’s normal sexuality and then there are many forms of mental illness. Two groups that the leftists coddled and made into protected classes fighting it out. Put it on pay per view and go (even more) nuts.
Lesbians are part of the old abnormal. Myself, Being a conservative and resistant to change, I will side with the old abnormal.
“I find it amusing when they eat their own . . . oh wait!”
Was thinking exactly the same thing, but I resisted.
It’s a TERF war.
