Lesbians: Critically Endangered
“Lesbians are being medicalized as a form of conversion therapy... The ‘trans’ movement is a lesbian eugenics movement.“
From A ‘Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria’ Mom
“My husband and I had always considered ourselves liberals, but we watched in horror as we began to lose our beautiful daughter to an ideology that we were not even allowed to question.“
From The Last Lesbian I Know
“The majority of my non-GSA friends from high school have now become "enby" and identified out of womanhood. I think there are two or three of us left that aren't trans.”
Representing Lesbians at the SF Dyke March
“She said the sign could cause discomfort to participants with penises.
LGBT Organization Covered Up Sexual Harassment by Man Pretending to Be a Lesbian
“As soon as this individual finds out I'm a lesbian, they asked me in a breathy voice, ‘Tell me what intimacy between women is really like.’”
“I am a woman, a female, a butch female lesbian woman!”
“I had years of other kids asking if I was a boy, it was scary more than hurtful as I didn't know myself! And then as I got into my mid to late teens I started liking girls, yes like that! Oh boy, even more confusion ensued, even more questions!”
My Community is Not What it Used to Be
“She said theirs was a safe space, welcoming to “our trans sisters.” I retorted that I was lesbian member of this community since the 1980s and was furious that she was excluding me.”
Queer Sexism
To make sense of “You don’t shave, so you’re not a girl,” I made up the term “queer sexism.” It’s like sexism, but reversed: rather than regulate your behaviors, queer sexism seeks to alter your “identities” to match the behaviors you display.
From Five Lesbians
“I once rejected a trans woman because they are male and he tried to rape me to teach me to like penis.”
From Two Grandmothers
“As a lesbian and woman I am furious that public schools are teaching trans ideology.”
From A Group Of Parents
“My son's therapist told me if I didn't affirm him, he'd be a serious suicide risk. I was terrified. I love my son. So I affirmed his delusion that he's actually a girl.”
From A Desister
“I couldn't believe that I had been so clueless all this time. Once I met other GC people, the whole world felt like a fraud.”
From a ROGD Mom
“There were no signs we could look back on. It was literally overnight, as if an infection had swept them all away.”
From The Last Lesbian I Know
“I think there are two or three of us left that aren't trans.”
