After years of playing "define woman" you should at least half expect to have it turned back on you.



quote:

Kate Harris, a co-founder of LGB Alliance, was invited by Michael Gibbon KC, counsel for Mermaids, to reflect on whether some people would have a different understanding of lesbian from the definition given by her organisation.

“That a lesbian can be a man with a penis?” she asked.

Gibbon responded: “Putting it in a more neutral way, that lesbians can include someone who is a woman as a result of gender reassignment.”

Harris, who is a lesbian, was distressed by the exchange, and the judge called for a short adjournment. Gibbon later apologised if he had “raised something inadvertently upsetting”. Harris said: “I’m going to speak for millions of lesbians around the world who are lesbians because we love other women … We will not be erased and we will not have any man with a penis tell us he’s a lesbian because he feels he is.”

She added: “A lesbian is attracted to another biological woman, full stop.”

please feel sorry for Kate Harris, who spends all her free time thinking about imaginary trans women breaking into her house with twenty Stonewall Gender Enforcers and demanding that they have sex at gunpoint, so much time and effort imagining this scenario it brings her to tears. trans women everywhere are accountable for this. I guess the guardian article at least includes a couple of paragraphs where it mentions the pro-trans people's general argument before going back to taking quotes from a hate group at face value, so that's fine

I'm 100% certain that woman kissed a woman who she then discovered was trans, and now feels she has to eradicate transwomen or they'll take away her Lesbian Card.

Generally I think the hysteria around the concept only treats trans men as "tragic lesbians who have been destroyed by the trans agenda" or whatever but I don't know if that extends to some sort of horrific desire to "fix" them through relationships or whatever. Probably not cos GC types are basically incapable of seeing trans people as actual people and not just props in their own deluded fantasy.

As with many things if the question would be awkward the answer is probably to just ignore it.

What I don't get is how the gently caress the B in LGB alliance is supposed to work, like I know they're just a load of shitheads and hate bi people as well but I want to know how they managed to find one bisexual who is having the vapours about the concept of trans people.

We literally like anything why the gently caress would it matter, that's easily one of the best parts of being bi is that it makes no loving difference to you what combination of parts people come with so long as you like them as people. You don't have to have the stupid mono panic about whether you're doing your sexuality wrong, the entire question just goes completely out of the window.

It absolutely doesn't do that, it says that all trans rights activists are attempting to dismantle the boundary between sex and gender and that the lgb alliance simply recognise that gender is a social construct. This is the complete opposite of reality.

Because bi means two and exactly two and if they're going to keep inventing all these new sexes then I'm constantly going to have to keep updating which two I pick instead of chilling the gently caress out and being attracted to whoever I'm attracted to.

It came out a while back that the LGB Alliance are going after bi people next.

bit.

The way I have always understood it is that the bi in bisexual refers to both heterogenous and homogenous attraction, those being the other two common categories and which, importantly, include literally every form of attraction because "like myself" and "not like myself" are two sets that include every possible thing that exists. And that's why I still use the word, because the idea that it refers only to two very specific presentations is transparently stupid because even within the subset of men and women you have a wide variety of presentations and we don't use separate words for any of them.

I suppose it is possible that there are bisexuals out there who work the same way as monosexuals but with like, an extra category, but to me the change happened because I started thinking about attraction to others in a categorically different fashion, and that same categorical shift has continued over time and produced things like being less posessive as well. So from a personal perspective I am finding myself filing bisexuality as being possibly a different kind of thing from any of the other sexualities, and that tracks with a couple of the exlusively gay people I've spoken to about it as well, they all thought it was odd that it could just... not matter to you what presentation or bits someone comes with.

I dunno, maybe there are people out there who don't work like that the idea of bi people having conniptions about gender being mutable and a spectrum of performance just seems especially absurd to me.
