Let's talk about the persistent attempts to redefine 'lesbian', and what a coincidence it is that once again it's females being targeted with this bullshit.

1/

So The Guardian sets up a lesbian woman on a blind date with a male, who claims to be a lesbian. The male doesn't disclose that he's male, the newspaper doesn't disclose that he's male, the lesbian's permission isn't sought.

Hurrah, cheer the woke.

2/

This massively problematic situation, including the fact that it would very likely never have happened to a heterosexual male, is called out on Twitter.

It's pointed out that the male on the date has publicly called out the lesbian for declining a second date with him.

3/

Seems like very male behaviour to:

- Call out a woman for not wanting to date you

- Imply there's something wrong with the woman

- Change your Twitter profile to reflect said woman's comments

BUT HEY.

4/

The Woke are very displeased to see women - especially lesbian women - Having Opinions on things like sexual agency and Males Pulling Their Usual Bullshit.

Obviously these women are TERF BIGOTS and the male from the date is Stunning and Brave, hun x

5/

Plot twist: the lesbian from the date steps up. She's fine with the fact that her date was male, and that no one informed her beforehand. She hates TERF scum. Boo hiss, bigoty old women. 👎🏼

The Woke go wild - what a great reason to double down the attacks on lesbians!

6/

How dare you use my (arranged, paid for, and published by the Guardian) date WITHOUT MY CONSENT? she asks, with no sense of irony whatsoever.

Apparently males don't need consent for anything, but women need it before discussing material already in the public domain.

7/

This is no way to treat lesbians! cry the Woke. TERF bigots are the worst!

But wait - another plot twist! Turns out that the lesbian woman is actually not lesbian 🤦‍♀️

8/

So we've gone from:

Lesbian = females solely attracted to females

to

Lesbian = females solely attracted to anyone who calls themself a woman

to

Lesbian = anyone who calls themself a woman attracted to anyone who calls themself a woman

to...

9/

Lesbian = anyone who calls themself a woman attracted to anyone who calls themself a woman, plus regular dudes if it's been a while since they last had sex.

So lesbians = whatever.

10/

Now isn't it just SUPER INTERESTING that it's lesbian sexuality that's been redefined this way?

Isn't it all so unexpected and unusual that lesbianism's boundaries are being treated as permeable?

I wonder why it's exclusive, female sexuality being co-opted this way...

11/

For a crowd who claim to be incapable of defining 'woman' and 'female', the Woke sure seem to know which groups to target with their ideology.

This thread was brought to you by Pissed-Off Woman who's not sure what her point is, but who's had enough of lesbians being shit on.
