A popular lesbian dating app has one message for users who don’t want transgender people on the platform: “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
HER, a global dating and network platform for lesbians and other queer people looking for love and friendship, sent a mass notification to its users on Wednesday: “A Message for Transphobes: Time to delete HER,” it said, in part.
“We have a very big thriving lesbian community on HER, and so we want to make that message really clear,” Robyn Exton, who founded the platform in 2015, told NBC News on Friday. “All lesbians are welcome and celebrated on HER — trans lesbians, nonbinary lesbians.”
Exton, who said the app has 20 million users globally, 12.5% of which identify as transgender or nonbinary, said she and her colleagues at HER are determined to push back against the narrative that lesbian identity is “owned by cis[gender] lesbians,” meaning lesbians who do not identify as transgender.
“We are cis women, and we just fundamentally do not agree with that,” she said.
In honor of Lesbian Visibility Day on Wednesday, the HER team published a blog post titled: “This Lesbian Visibility Day, We Are Reclaiming ‘Lesbian.’” The post, which was written by Exton, expresses support for trans and nonbinary lesbians and pushes back against those who don’t.
“There’s no such thing as a ‘real lesbian.’ But being a genuinely lousy human? Oh, that’s a thing. Join us in honoring trans and non-binary lesbians today and forever,” the post said.
Following the publication of the post, HER’s Twitter account received a tidal wave of backlash from those who disagreed with it. The HER Twitter account pushed back, and, shortly after the heated exchanges, Twitter temporarily suspended the HER account.

Yes this has invaded the Homosexual community too.
Lesbians are now told they rand trans-phobe for not dating trannies.
I posted this one, since most here don’t have high speed internet to watch youtube.
Straight men should create fake profiles and ruin their platform.
So there has been a big backlash from the even the Lesbian Community about the Trans movement situation. How many Lesbians are going to date a trans woman?
But I’m a lesbian trapped in a mans body. I love women. I’m attracted to them. That’s how i identify.
So, the message going out to the homosexual community is:
“You’re not born that way. If you find yourself living a life which makes you uncomfortable, you can choose to make a change. Medical professionals (ex. psychotherapists) can help you become a new person with a lifestyle choice that is less problematic.”
They weren’t saying this 10 or 20 years ago (they violently opposed it) but now they admit that this is true.
I would guess that some bull dykes could be considered trans.
So, lesbians are mythical creatures?
Lesbian: “OK, thanks for the tip. App deleted.”
Good idea!
Actually there has been for a long time, it’s just now making the news.
Give Lesbians credit where credit is due, they know these trannies are men and they want a real woman.
Now they say not wanting to date a trans is transphobic. Before this clown show ends I wouldn’t be surprised if this breaks up the LGBQT.... folks. Even they don’t want to date a trans.
Sounds like there’s some anti-tolerance taking place on the homo site. Is this possible?
A lot of Lesbians don’t buy into the thought of ‘HER’.
We have a courageous and astute woman here in Maryland, who has stood up for biological females who want to be safe in their own spaces:

All the female lesbians have to do is cancel their profiles and memberships and walk away leaving only the male lesbians on there. The business will fold shortly thereafter.
Same here!
I like what they like.
And just like that, a bunch of lesbians became Republicans.
June is going to be “interesting”.
Get stocked with popcorn.
Transphobe? Not at all, I’m Trans-Nauseous.
“Now they say not wanting to date a trans is transphobic. Before this clown show ends I wouldn’t be surprised if this breaks up the LGBQT.... folks. Even they don’t want to date a trans.
awesome! the different species of freaks are twisting themselves in knots ...
