I write this as a 17-years-#PostOp #transwoman [who identifies ideologically wrt sexuality as lesbian but pragmatically as asexual], & i perceive the following as prolly being deeply unpopular with some other "T's". I'm writing simply as a lone post-op transwoman, unsure how other post-op transwomen feel on this specific topic, & acknowledging that my opinion might be utterly discordant with others' [possibly strongly held] opinions. I also acknowledge my unresolved self-contradictions, below.

Fwiw, having watched the interview, i feel that it makes complete logical & emotional sense for "female-born" lesbians wishing to come together to celebrate their journey & achievements, challenges & victories, chew the fat, let off steam, party & have fun, to have free right to do so. Unlike apparently many of their critics, i do not perceive this as the LAG being maliciously discriminatory against transwomen. I reject the apparently popular contemporary proposition that LAG requesting this temporary exemption axiomatically equals transphobia. I fully respect that their life story & journey was different to mine, mine to theirs, & feel that they have a legitimate right to gather in the manner they wish, without them being vilified & accused of discrimination.

If the LAG were being nasty & transphobic, insulting me & mine along the lines of the hateful #RWNJ #ChristoFascists rhetoric, i would feel very differently about this. However, afaik, & certainly at least in so far as the video interview covers, nothing nasty like that seems to be at play here. Whilst personally i passionately crave to be looked on by natal women, straight & lesbian, as a "lesbian who got there by a different pathway to them, but a lesbian nonetheless", i don't know that they do, & i don't wish to cause conflict. I do "get it" that longer-journey women like me might cause them discomfort, & frankly i would not wish to insert myself into private spaces that make others uncomfortable.

All that waffle stated, i am also troubled by my own preceding opinion, as its logical endpoint is that i have argued for my own rejection by & exclusion from women-generally & in this case lesbian-specifically events & spaces. That's the opposite of my desire... yet i continue to respect the LAG's wishes. Bloody hell, gender politics is so damn hard, & i realise that i'm very incompetent at it! 🤯

The Lesbian Action Group's Exemption Request: Balancing Rights And Inclusion

In a move that has sparked debate and raised questions about inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community, the Lesbian Action Group (LAG) has applied to the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) for a temporary exemption from anti-discrimination laws.

Open Society Foundations on Instagram: "In May, the Ugandan government signed a broad bill that cemented violence against the country’s LGBTQ+ population. The measure was widely supported by the country’s Christian and Muslim leaders, but even before the law was signed queer people in Uganda faced stigmatization, ostracization, and violence from within their religious communities. Photographer and activist DeLovie Kwagala @aconstantbecoming has been documenting the stories of queer Ugandans. Against the hateful rhetoric, laws, and violence, DeLovie hopes these stories will dispel the myth that queerness is anti-religion, and helps show their humanity. And as the danger for queer people in Uganda grows, DeLovie has been calling on Western leaders and allies to support LGBTQ+ people who are now facing an existential threat to their lives.

"That's what we need, we have always needed, and we have never needed more, solidarity between our minority communities because we just don't fucking survive without it."

And the images that fucked ya
Were a patriarchal structure
And you never will surrender
To a narrow view of gender
And I swear there’ll come a day
When you won’t worry what they say
On the labels, on the doors
You will figure out what’s yours

And it’s a bloody nightmare
Tryna fight the spread of bigotry and fear
That’s uniting Piers Morgan and Germaine Greer
And all our progress
Yeah I wonder who it’s for
When I dared to utter that trans lives matter
Yeah and all I got was a TERF war.

Well that’s fine
Cause I decline
Your narrow set of rules they just don’t work
These red lines
They’re not mine
And if you need me you can find me ironing my shirt

"The Dark Age for Lesbians"
Under todays neo-patriarchal trends, the voice of lesbians have been shamefully censored, gas lit, diminished, bullied, erased, unheard, not listened to, not supported, no seat at the table, made wrong for being themselves, even told who they're supposed to be attracted to. A creepy cultural, social media driven, " Conversion Therapy" foisted upon them. It is harmful.
It's the deliberate colonization of a group of people.
These neo-patriarchal cultural manipulations are oppressive and soul killing . It's like a creepy "Hand Maids Tale" divised just for lesbians.
It is so wrong, everyone needs to be heard. It needs to be talked about openly, in a real way.
