'We're being pressured into sex by some trans women'
BBC News ^ | October 26, 2021 | By Caroline Lowbridge

Is a lesbian transphobic if she does not want to have sex with trans women? Some lesbians say they are increasingly being pressured and coerced into accepting trans women as partners - then shunned and even threatened for speaking out. Several have spoken to the BBC, along with trans women who are concerned about the issue too.

Jennie is a lesbian woman. She says she is only sexually attracted to women who are biologically female and have vaginas. She therefore only has sex and relationships with women who are biologically female.

Jennie doesn't think this should be controversial, but not everyone agrees. She has been described as transphobic, a genital fetishist, a pervert and a "terf" - a trans exclusionary radical feminist.

Several people got in touch with me to say there was a "huge problem" for lesbians, who were being pressured to "accept the idea that a penis can be a female sex organ".

I knew this would be a hugely divisive subject, but I wanted to find out how widespread the issue was.

One of the lesbian women I spoke to, 24-year-old Amy*, told me she experienced verbal abuse from her own girlfriend, a bisexual woman who wanted them to have a threesome with a trans woman.

When Amy explained her reasons for not wanting to, her girlfriend became angry.

Amy said she would feel this way even if a trans woman had undergone genital surgery - which some opt for, while many don't.

Soon afterwards Amy and her girlfriend split up.

"I remember she was extremely shocked and angry, and claimed my views were extremist propaganda and inciting violence towards the trans community, as well as comparing me to far-right groups," she said.

So what? We are all constantly receiving emails, phone calls, zoom meetings and people coming to the door at random explaining this. I even got a fax on it the other day. Just deal with it.

“I don’t want to have sex with anybody except the woman I married. What does that make me?”

Depending on how long you’ve been married I’d have to say “unique” is the word best describing you.

This is what happens when liberals take over schools and teach children to suspend reality.

Imagine someone landing on Earth in 2021 from a distant galaxy. The above paragraph would be completely unintelligible gibberish.

There is no such thing as “trans.”

So most people, whether male, female, straight or gay, prefer unmodified sex partners.
Not a big surprise.
And the right to say NO should never be surrendered.

Agree.

I spent 47 years with my first wife. Never once touched another woman or even considered it.

She died of a heart attack in 2018.

A little over a year ago I married again. The new wife is a wonderful person. It was illogical how we got together, but God blessed us both again.

A couple of generations ago, we were the norm. Now, we're a freak show and the freak shows are the norm.

Nevertheless, we have something they haven't got like a loving relationship, useful children and lovable grandchildren, just for starters.

Yes. Sorry, weirdos, deal with each other.

Weirdos are fine running around with their own kind, but trouble starts when they run into another set of weirdos.

These “transgender” lesbians are nothing more than male losers trying to find a different scam so they can have sex with women. This makes them men. That’s what men do.

Like that kid in Loudon County who wore a skirt and demanded he be allowed to use the girls’ bathroom in the school so he could feel up girls.

So confused. If only Rush (the male lesbian) were still around. I’m sure he could explain it to us.
