First up we had @RachelK01840150 with this barnstorming speech about the unpopularity of women who made historic gains for women's rights! 🔥
Charlotte Edwards, @rafaellacjthis, gave this short address against the medicalisation of gender non conformity.👏👏

We are really disappointed to see prominent members of @WEP_UK use #LesbainVisibilityWeek to promote ideas such as 'cis lesbian'
@WEP_UK has agreed that 'cis' is an offensive & reductive term
WE say no to the homophobic erasure of #lesbians
No lesbian has a penis

Lesbian's are same sex attracted. In law this is described as an orientation. This is key as this embeds the idea that lesbianism is not a choice or a kink.
It is this terminology that has protected lesbians (in law) against conversion, punishment, shaming & corrective rape.

When #Stonewall changed their definition from 'same sex attracted' to 'same gender attracted' (to include males) this undermines the legal protections as listed above
Essential legal protections that #lesbians fought for 💔
