Getting out the popcorn for this stuff.
But wait, there’s more. See it’s not just regular men and women getting the transphobic label–it’s gays and lesbians as well because they generally don’t want to date someone who’s playing dress-up either.
Rosetta said in her interview with Campus Reform that a split in the LGBTQ community might be necessary given that the issues of the transgender and nonbinary communities seem to diverge from those who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual.
“[T]he split is not a negative but a recognition that we are different so deserve different [organizations] to look after our individual needs,” she writes.
Rosetta uses terms within the gender binary to describe advocates for gay and lesbian rights, who “fought hard to be able to be out in polite society and will not have the very term used to describe … [l]esbians diluted.”
Martina Navratilova is getting all kinds of flak:
“Omg…a bloke cannot be a lesbian. No matter what they say, no matter how they feel, no matter how much they try to convince us otherwise. A bloke≠ a lesbian,” Navratilova wrote in response to a video created by the U.K. LGBTQ organization Stonewall about the importance of “lesbian visibility.”
This comment was in response to an article in which a bloke dressed as a woman called himself a lesbian. A gay publication (but is it really?) , LGBTQ Nation was quick to denounce Martina’s statement.
“In misgendering a trans woman and excluding her from the lesbian community, Navratilova is echoing sentiments of so-called ‘trans exclusionary radical feminists’ (TERFs) who see womanhood as an inborn ‘essential’ identity determined by sex assigned at birth — one that can’t be claimed by undergoing medical transition,” an article in the magazine said of her tweet.
It’s kind of funny that they refer to her as a ‘cis lesbian‘ and essentially put her in the same category as they did JK Rowling–that of TERF ( trans exclusionary radical feminists).
It might be that the Alphabet Mafia is going to get truncated again back down to LGB.
