Here are the loopholes Iāve found that are created by Trans Inclusion that harm women & children.
Iāll update this thread as I find more.
Letās me start by saying I remain a trans ally & agree trans people deserve to live openly, without discrimination.
However: š§µ
Trans Inclusion harms lesbians.
Lesbian bars & events must currently admit *males. This attracts men who crossdress & infiltrate our spaces to loom over, leer at, harass & abuse lesbians.
There are more lesbians āoutā than ever but zero lesbian bars in the UK & only 5 in the USA. This has disbanded the lesbian community & endangers young sapphic women as we try to meet.
Ask any lesbian - sheāll likely have had an ordeal with a man in a sapphic space who has come in specifically to be creepy little perverts.
Essentially, trans inclusion has meant lesbian bars are now no more than Lesbian Aquariums for men with a fetish for lesbians to use to target us. Organisers face accusations of transphobia if they wonāt allow *males in to lesbian/bi womenās events.
Of course men are using the loophole created to include trans women to harass lesbians. Weāre scared & these men seek out confrontation. Itās a kink, a fetish, an abuse of the law & an insult to both the trans community & lesbians/bi women to ignore this happens. It does.
Trans women remain male so are not lesbians anyway. Most trans women respect that & wouldnāt come to lesbian only events. Only fetishist, crossdressing men do that. Itās an uncomfortable truth & very easy to look away but I beg of you - donāt. Please listen to lesbians as we fight to retain our right to meet without men.
It has become a given that to attend a lesbian/bi event means we will likely have to deal with crossdressing men who have come specifically to target us. They will film us, try to start confrontations, expose their genitals to us, leer at & loom over us & generally make it impossible for us to ājust ignore themā. This is our punishment for daring to not being attracted to men.
Itās OK to oppose these men & we must be able to say No to any *male in sapphic spaces. The next generation of lesbians deserve to feel safe & supported & have access to their community. Us elders are fighting not only for us but for all sapphic women. Please help?
No, it is not transphobic for us to not ādateā biological males. Thatās just lesbianism. Any consequences faced by women for simply being homosexual is homophobia.
The loophole which allows any male to enter lesbian bars or events must be closed. Lesbians are human female homosexuals. We never have nor want penises. Stop supporting a movement which destroys our ability to meet without *males or accused us of hate because of our unchangeable sexuality.
Trans women & lesbians are cool. Weāre allies. Itās men causing the problem, here. We must retain sapphic spaces for biological women only.

I keep being told off & declared āoffensiveā for saying I donāt care about trans people.
Not what I meant. I mean I donāt care, nor do I care to learn, what makes someone trans. You do you, I wonāt to stop or attack you.
What I will fight is the destruction of womenās spacesš§µ
Example: Men (the male kindš) are pretending to be trans & using womenās spaces/services as a playground for their various fetishes.
It started with lesbian bars, so those all closed bc: BREAKING: lesbians donāt like being perved on & harassed by men.
Then prisons. Men areā¦š§µ

Iāve just been banned from @Tinder for privately reporting this clearly-a-man, asking for an option for lesbians to opt out of trans women. As they are male.
I made the request privately, I didnāt contact this individual, I have not been hateful.
But Iām banned for life.
Thanks, @Tinder , for reminding us lesbians where we stand.
Which is in the dangerous position of being forced to include crossdressing *males in our dating pool or be banned from your platform.
You clearly believe lesbians have no right to deny males access to our community & bodies.
Weāll remember you said that.

Claiming that a man can literally become a woman just by saying so is such an insult to women.
Women have only had equality for a speck of human history & the moment it happens, men say they can just opt in?
No. You canāt. Stop lying. To yourself as well as everyone else.
Being trans isnāt an insult. If you wish to identify as a trans woman, have your friends & family call you āherā & a female name, wear dresses & make up etc, fine. Have at it.
But you canāt gaslight the public in to pretending we donāt know youāre male.
Weāre allowed to say so.

One time when I was running a coffee shop, Maggie Smith came in. She was eating alone & not at all in peace because all the kids in the coffee shop had spotted Professor McGonagall and weāre so excited!
She finished her lunch, tipped very well and asked for her coat. Before she left, she walked in stern silence to the bathroom with her coat in her hand as parents hushed their excited children. When she emerged from the loo, she was wearing her long black coat as a cloak, one of her arms ahead of her with the coat draped over it and, with a flourish, she swished her arm down and her eyes gleamed as she called out, in character -
āLet the Sorting begin!ā
She sat for a good hour signing napkins and talking to a huddle of kids. It was absolutely adorable.
Iāll never forget that. It was the nicest thing Iāve ever seen. Sheās an incredible lady.
She had a smoked salmon salad and a sparkling water. And gave every kid in the place possibly the best day of their entire childhood.

Today, I found out the dating agency I have used for 6 years (a āfemme-to-femmeā lesbian dating site that do events) hates lesbians.
Let me explain.
So, Iām same sex attracted, right, which means I donāt date dicks. Donāt worry itās not transphobic, itās called lesbianism.Butš§µ
But it is a tough position to be in because trans lesbians also want āa goā but Iām afraid they just canāt. My loss. Moving on.
Iāve always thought āFemme To Femmeā was a very clever way to gently advertise that this was a female only service. Trans lesbians are brill butā¦š§µ

Beware The Handbag Hook-Up
OUAT I went to a gay bar for my birthday & when we found a table, there was a handbag!š
Hoping to help, we set about trying to reunite it with its owner. We were in luck! Immediately, a trans woman, āDeniseā, and her friend came over.
It was hers!š§µ
āThanks for giving it backā said Denise as she sat down, uninvited. āIāll buy you a drink.āš
It was a statement, not a question.š„š³š
My friend seemed ok š¤·āāļøso I quickly brushed off the looming sense of dread as I was locked in convo with Denise, who quickly became pushyšš„·š§µ

Hear me out
Single Sex Spaces - Itās As Simple As A Seatbelt!
Would you not wear a seatbelt just because the chances of being in a car accident are so low?
Would you not-buckle-up-your-kids because it rarely happens & YOUāRE a good driver?
No. Because its best to be safeš§µ
You wear a seatbelt because you donāt know who else is on the road and safety first, right?
You never know who is out there texting while driving or drunk behind the wheel, so you take precautions.
Not just for you but for the people you love and wish to protect.
Thatās SSP š§µ

STORYTIME -You know that rumour that Lesbians are GREAT at DIY? Iām the exception to that rule
For anyone having a bad day, I'd like to take a moment 2 make you all feel better by sharing with you the story of "Lamp-Lampā
First thing you need to know is I have no common senseš§µ
So when a floor lamp of mine (bulb included) went out, I went on quite the mission to rectify it
Sadly I know nothing about elecriticity-ism
After standing @RobertDyas in front of what I maintain to be a smug overkill of bulbs (why so many? whats the the numbers?) I welled upš§µ

Wow. What a lot of links to things Iāve already read and videos Iāve already watched.
Thanks, I guess?
I repeat - I see nothing transphobic in anything JK Rowling has ever said. You canāt buy, bully or berate me in to saying otherwise.
Never.
Ya know. Because āAlwaysā is her quote. From Harry Potter.
Damn I had to explain why it was clever which means itās not. Reminds me of some the defamatory, terminally biased propaganda Iāve read in the last months.
If you have to translate & twist why itās transphobic, itās not

I can confirm, here & now, that I wonāt be doing any paid interviews, writing articles of my own or in any way monetising my stance.
I have no book coming out, nothing to sell, no agenda.
Holding my head high with my integrity in tact, I stand firm & proud that my words landed.
If youāre used to people only taking a stance in a self serving, tactical way then let me disabuse you of your assumptions.
I have no millions to hide behind, no famous friends to shield me, no pretty house to wait in or Insta-following to build.
I shared bc I felt strongly.

Hereās a list of excuses I was given, repeatedly, while researching JK Rowlings ātransphobicā quotes -
- Itās just common knowledge
- Go Google āJK Transā and youāll see it
- Itās hard to pick one quote bc itās everything she says, ever
- āIām not doing your research for youāš§µ
-Why are you asking me? No I didnāt say she was *quickly deletes TL*
-Itās not what sheās said, but when she said it.And how
-Transphobia is in the eye of the beholder
-āWikipediaāš
-She wrote a book I havenāt read that has a trans villain
-NO I DIDNT READ THE BOOK BUT ITS BADš§µ

Right, Iām done.
3 months ago, I was tasked with writing an article detailing ā20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes Weāre Done Withā
After 12 weeks of reading her books, tweets, full essay & finding the context of these āquotesā, Iāve not found a single truly transphobic messageš§µ
In the process, I peaked.
JK Rowling is not an āintolerable transphobeā, sheās a (talented) woman who could have sat back & been beloved forever, but looked around & paid attention as the intersection of trans rights and womenās rights has had understandable growing pains.š§µ
