♋ Queen 🏳️‍🌈

Ok here’s the plan: You do not have to be against trans people just living their lives to be a TERF, but you will be called one the second you defend female only spaces & stand against trans medicalisation of kids. But you still have to do it. You will get hate & don’t expect TERFs to huddle round you for support - they’ll be shouting that you should have done it sooner. But they’re right so don’t bite back. Take your hits, stay consistent & go easy on the “IM STILL A TRANS ALLY” just bc you think that will stop TRAs attacking you. It won’t. Yes, if you speak up you will get it from both sides. But it’s the right thing to do so do it anyway. It is not transphobic to recognise that forced trans inclusion not only harms women’s safety, but children & even the trans community when they get lumped in with crossdressing men who abuse trans inclusive loopholes to use - say - lesbian spaces. I’m so excited for you to join me. We aren’t transphobes. We are the first women born in to legal equality (in the West) and we’re not going to have our first act be to ensure men are comfortable with our emancipation & can use women’s spaces if they so wish. Self ID has to go. Trans women remain male. No child should be medicalised or sterilised. Female only spaces, sports & our very definition in the law must remain in tact for females only. That’s not transphobic, it’s safeguarding. Men were the ones who screwed this up for trans people. We tried - they ruined it - time to re-assert our boundaries. And definitely no shouting at lesbians for being attracted to only women. Ever again. That should never have happened in the first place & we wish to rebuild our spaces & events free from any male. Buckle up.

Every lesbian I know has been followed, filmed, harassed or assaulted by a crossdressing man posing as a trans woman. Every one. But when we try & speak up, no sooner have we said “there was this man in a dress who…” than we are cut off & screamed at for “transphobia”. They gave you a paper-thin excuse to belittle & scream at lesbians & look how fast you took it. Can we have our spaces back, please? Our bars & events? Without having to include these men who know damn well what they’re doing? We’re not talking about trans women. Trans women wouldn’t insult the lesbian community this way. We’re talking about men (the male kind) being pervy little chancers & you’re not listening.

If anyone is staying silent on the trans issue bc you don’t want to hurt gay & lesbian people, please don’t. We’re not at all in support of forced trans inclusion & are also harmed by it. We’re against it! You won’t be called homophobic for standing with us. Not on our watch.
