I'm 45 yo lesbian. I left my country because of homophobia (it's not just mocking, harrasment, lesbians were/are raped in the name of "re-education"). I was told by men that I haven't met the right man yet. Now men who identify as lesbians tell me I haven't tried their girldick. 
2)That gay man doesn't feel threatened by straight women who identify as gays & because he doesn't feel threatened he has no problem to let men in the lesbian spaces, organizations, events, groups, apps etc. He supports our erasure. The only letter in LGB he cares about is G.
Because obviously, obviously this is conversion therapy. The video even says at the end that they want it “normalised” for gay men to have sex… with women (labelled “men”).
Reminder that Lesbians have been fighting this *for years*. Decades even… centuries…

I too feel for younger gay men. This will hurt and confuse. It is deeply homophobic.
But let’s not forget why they are doing this. It’s because since forever lesbians have been targets of desire and conquest for straight men. We (gay men) are now inconveniently in the way.

1./ The reaction to a @BBCNews article about sexual coercion of vulnerable lesbians has been both revealing and depressing. It's fine for critics to try to find flaws but where is the empathy for the victims? No wonder #IStandWithLesbians is trending.👇bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
2./ Some criticism has focused on the small sample of just 80 lesbians. But much greater claims have been made on smaller samples. One famous survey's claims that 48% of young trans people attempted suicide turned out to be based on only 27 young people. 👇theguardian.com/society/2014/n…
3./ The researcher behind that study, Dr Nuno Nodin, dissociated himself from the spin on his report describing it as "misuse of evidence". But there's something more troubling about the reaction than arguments about samples: the suggestion the subject of the story doesn't exist.
