Lesbians being anti-trans is a lesbophobic trope
Gay Times (UK) ^ | 31st March 2023 | AMY ASHENDEN

The other day I got a WhatsApp from a lesbian friend. “I’m worried lesbians are seen as anti-trans,” she said. This is someone who, even in her thirties, has struggled to embrace the word ‘lesbian’.

There is already so much shame and stigma around the word ‘lesbian’. In fact, the harmful stereotypes associated with the word have directly caused the majority (68%) of us to delay coming out. Lesbophobic tropes that we’re man-hating or unattractive are really just homophobia and misogyny rolled into one.

Several lesbians I know now say they feel torn about using the word – even though it’s exactly who they are and a word that describes them best – due to a certain narrative that we are somehow pre-dispositioned to be anti-trans.

I'm glad I don't have to include that on my list of worries.

They’re called TERFs and they don’t like fake women at all.

Brother, being alphabet is complicated.

Biblical relationships are much more simple—I don’t think our minds are wired for all that other crud.

If going in you’re not mad, then the alphabet life is sure to take most on a deep dive into mental anguish.

I don’t believe she understands good polling. I know a lesbian that doesn’t like men pretending they are women. Yet this woman claims that as a lesbian she doesn’t know a single one against it. Her claims and poll references are in serious doubt.

Something does not pass the smell test here!

The joy of corrupting the innocent is the secret impetus behind ALL of these grooming “genders”. It’s how they reproduce.

That’s right. Lesbians are clueless about polling.

“I’m worried lesbians are seen as anti-trans,” she said.

In other words she fears being a target of Left.
