While we welcome the anti-discrimination protections for LGBT people, the Exec Order signed yesterday is egregiously broad & effectively ELIMINATES 'sex' as a protected class. #BidenErasedWomen with this far-reaching order, which will decimate women's sports, safety & privacy.
Government agencies will be directed to include trans identified males in the definition of women, based on 'gender identity.' This means the end of female-only spaces, incl. shelters, prisons and sports. #BidenErasedWomen. #ForXX #AmendTheEqualityAct lgballianceusa.substack.com/p/fact-sheet-o…
The very definition of homosexual depends on 'sex,' & this Exec Order harms lesbians & gays by effectively telling them that 'sex' doesn't matter--only 'gender identity.' We're already facing abuse for refusing partners based on 'gender identity' instead of sex. #BidenErasedWomen
#BidenErasedWomen & it negatively impacts lesbians & our female-only spaces. One lesbian was told "that the term lesbian is outdated & problematic & I shouldn’t use it.” So the lesbian keeps quiet about her identity: “It’s like living in a second closet.” andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/where-have-a…

Welcome to @LGBAlliance_USA!

We will be pursuing an agenda that is largely aligned with the agenda of the UK-based organization @AllianceLGB. The following is a brief description of our concerns:
We are LGB: lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals living in the United States. We define ourselves in terms of same-sex sexual orientation. Sex, not “gender.”/1of12
Our group is led by lesbians, but we welcome gay men & bisexuals. We also welcome support from trans and straight people who endorse our aims. /2of12
