Lesbians United?

In past blog posts I’ve mentioned the historically uneasy alliance between gays and lesbians. But, given their marginalized status, they would often overlook their differences and align themselves on the basis that “an enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This was done in order to achieve common political goals.

A similar alliance happened in the Western world when Transgender and Gender Identity advocacy entered the public consciousness in a big way several years ago. LGB (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual) aligned with TQ+ (Transgender, Queer, etc…) again, largely on the basis of a shared sense of victimhood, so that “an enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Solidarity among these marginalized groups achieved many political and cultural gains over the past two decades.

But now many homosexuals are beginning to question the basic ideas upon which the TQ+ agenda is based. Lesbians in particular are opting out of a decades long alliance. Increasingly they are coming round to the view that women, especially lesbian women, are being hurt by Gender Identity Ideology.

I don’t know a lot about the group “Lesbian’s United.” But a trusted source posted their social media link. And given my study on this issue in the last 18 months, I’m sympathetic to their point of view. I hope my readers, especially my gay and lesbian readers, find the following information important.

As always my standard link disclaimer applies: “Links from this blog to online resources don’t necessarily mean I support everything found on these sites. But as adults we should embrace viewpoint diversity. And make alliances where we can.”

Their web site is here. A few bullet point quotes and one graphic from their website summarizes their point of view.

After the gay liberation movement of the 1970s, older generations of lesbians and gay men allowed heterosexuals to invade our communities. Heterosexuals have appropriated our culture, our funding, and our spaces; branded lesbians as “trans” or “queer”; and demanded that we accept men into our beds.

Lesbians United is here to take our community back.

We’re here. Not queer. Get used to it.

At more than 300 US clinics, young tomboys are being medicated and operated on by doctors who want to turn them into facsimiles of heterosexual men. But these procedures – sold as “transition” – are painful, irreversible, and incredibly dangerous. They can and do result in death.

Lesbians United isn’t just fighting against medical malpractice. We’re fighting to save the next generation of lesbians. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

What is transition?
transition, n.

a series of unnecessary medical procedures designed to turn the victim into a facsimile of the opposite sex.

The unnecessary procedures sold as “transition” include chemotherapy drugs, artificial hormones, cosmetic breast amputation, surgical sterilization, and genital mutilation.

These procedures are being marketed to homosexuals, and to the parents of children who show early signs of homosexuality.

Child Transition is based in the belief

… that it’s okay to sterilize and castrate kids who show early signs of homosexuality.

… that it’s better to medicalize your daughter than let her grow up lesbian.

Lesbians are a tiny minority, but we make up the vast majority of female “gender dysphoria” diagnoses.
100 percent
of girls labeled “trans” are attracted to other girls.

Of course not all lesbians view these matters similarly. But unfortunately we’ve reached a point that any dissent within the ranks is simply not tolerated by Gender Identity activists. An important lesbian voice, Philosopher Kathleen Stock, will not be silenced. I posted about her here. And here. Dissent is growing.

Finally. I’ve lost count of the number of butch lesbians that I’ve read or viewed on social media that are beyond thankful that they did not enter puberty during today’s Gender Identity moment. By their own admission, they probably would have taken the body mutilation route had it been offered to them. And identified as men. Or as Lesbian’s United puts it; “facsimiles of heterosexual men.”

My next post will offer specific evidence of a realignment in the “progressive” political zeitgeist. Stay tuned.
