Don'tShoveTheLesbians🌞

For 15 years now, female-attracted (aka straight) MtF “transwomen” have flooded and dominated virtually all “lesbian” spaces both online and IRL. Since ~2015, MtFs have been moderating every public lesbian subreddit, and then systematically banning lesbians as “TERFs” from our own spaces for being same-sex (rather than “gender identity”) attracted. So lesbians created “lesbiangang” in 2020, where some controlled lesbian opposition to TQ+ orthodoxy has gradually been permitted on Reddit. Today, gay women on r/lesbiangang are discussing how lesbian spaces in real life have been appropriated and destroyed by opposite-sex-attracted MtFs within the past decade. Their comments echo my own experiences as a 33-year-old lesbian in Los Angeles: For at least 12 years, MtF “transwomen” have co-opted virtually every “lesbian” party, event, organization, dating app and social space, to the point that most actual lesbians don’t even bother attending anymore when something is advertised as “for lesbians.” Because in 2026, most lesbians know that “for lesbians” (or for “LGBTQ+”) now means: catering to heterosexual males who transition MtF and CALL themselves “lesbians,” despite being born male & opposite-sex attracted rather than born female & strictly same-sex attracted. Once inside our formerly lesbian spaces, these opposite-sex-attracted males routinely bully actual homosexual women like me as “transphobic TERF bigots” for being exclusively same-sex attracted rather than attracted to “woman gender identities, regardless of sexed anatomy.” So lesbians have learned to keep our distance from “lesbian” organizations, spaces and events, in order to avoid being sexually harassed, pressured and bullied out as “TERFs” by the heterosexual males who now run our spaces. TQ+ activism, particularly the misogynistic and homophobic MtF activists openly LARPing as “lesbians” while taking control of our spaces, has effectively held L&G hostage for over a decade. This dynamic has been especially visible and devastating for the gay female community, who are all socialized and conditioned as girls and women whereas heterosexual MtF interlopers are socialized as boys and men.
