Access Politics
Well, this was a long time coming. As you’ve been told many many times over the past year, transgenders push the idea that males can identify as women, even if they have penises.
But can these so-called “trans women” with penises have sex with real women and call themselves lesbian?
Lesbians are — finally — not down with this anymore, as it is increasingly obvious that feminism and transgenderism just aren’t compatible. Why would gay men have to undergo unnatural and dangerous surgeries just to be able to transition and — voila! — be “heterosexual.” The lesbians ask, what’s wrong with just being gay?
At a recent London gay pride parade, these fed-up lesbians held signs that read, “Transactivism Erases Lesbians!” It got so much attention that London Mayor Sadiq Khan denounced it. “Pride is about celebrating difference and London’s amazing LGBT+ community. It’s about showing those round the world that in our great city you can be free to be whoever you want to be and love whoever you want to love. The vast majority of those present at today’s march respected and embraced that and the Mayor condemns the tiny minority who did not. Transphobia is never acceptable.”
Wait, what? So now we have the London mayor denouncing lesbians, in favor of men’s sexual-fantasies? I wish I was in a Gender studies class to hear the angst these feminists must be feeling. Wait, do they even still have gender studies class, since usually-male transgenders have encouraged us that there is no such thing as gender?
This is chaos.
PJ Media has the story:
While Khan was meant to lead the march, he ended up stuck behind the group “Get the L Out,” a lesbian organization dedicated to separating lesbian identity from transgender identity. They started demanding that activists take the “T” out of “LGBT,” but settled for opting out themselves, demanding the “L” be removed.
According to their website, “Get the L Out is a group of lesbian and feminist individuals and organizations, opposing the increasingly anti-lesbian and misogynistic LGBT movement and the erasure of lesbians.”
Yes, “Get the L Out” believes that transgenderism means erasing lesbians, and they’ve actually got a very good point.
“Get the L Out” opposes “trans politics” because they promote “the social transition of lesbians, encouraging them to present as straight men thus favouring the pretence of heterosexuality over lesbianism — this is nothing more than a form of conversion therapy.”
In one move, this lesbian group has tied transgenderism to the most hated bugbear among the gay community — the effort to reverse same-sex attraction and destroy homosexual identity. Transgenderism encourages some lesbians to “identify” as male, and as soon as they “transition” — assuming these “ex”-women still like women — they’re suddenly straight!
Plus, just like many conservatives, the lesbians don’t like that transgenderism pushes “the medical transition of lesbians and pushes harmful drugs (untested hormone blockers, Lupron etc.) as well as unnecessary medical practices on perfectly healthy bodies – these are a form of misogynist medical abuse against lesbians.” Exactly. Especially since some of these people regret cutting off their sex organs.
Indeed, transgender hormone “treatments” and the more drastic transgender surgery have left people scarred, as they later rejected their cross-sex identity. Max Robinson, a 21-year-old woman who once identified as a man, regrets having taken male hormones and removing her breasts, calling such “treatments” “not a cure at all.”
Cross-sex hormones for those who have already gone through puberty carry serious health risks. While the longterm medical and psychological effects remain unknown, testosterone in biological females increases the chance of developing ovarian cysts later in life. Testosterone in biological females will cause irreversible deepening of the voice and augmentation of the clitoris.
Exactly.
Finally, “Get the L Out” charged that transgender activism “promotes the right of heterosexual males who ‘identify’ as women and lesbians (despite most of them still retaining their male genitals) over the rights of lesbians to choose their sexual partners. This new ‘queer’ LGBT politics thus coerces lesbians to accept the penis as a female organ and promotes heterosexual intercourse between male and female as a form of lesbian sex.”
