The Curious Case of Pride vs the Lesbians: Part 8 Round-up of media coverage and other writing on the case

My latest. Media coverage of the LAVA case. Hooray, amongst the hit jobs there's actually some grown ups now reporting on Pride kicking out lesbians who (OMG, the utter heathens) don't believe people with penises are women or lesbian. theministryhasfallen.substack.com/p/the-curiou...

Here's my latest in which I question why women were not consulted on the plan to end female changing rooms and toilets in Wellington city. theministryhasfallen.substack.com/p/wccs-rainb...

Which of the SUFW policies do you disagree with? Not having rapists in female prisons? Lesbians rights to meet without men? Women's rights to freedom of association?

Oh no! Not THAT Suzanne Levy, SHE'S the worst. SHE believes lesbians get to define their own non-male sexuality, that old women who need intimate care have the right to choose female carers, that rapists shouldn't be in female prisons and that women have the right to self-organise. THE HORROR.

Left-wing feminist analysis of this century's wave of gender fundamentalism.

Unless you're bi or what some might say poly, all sexualities are by definition exclusive. Framing it as mean lesbians who exclude people and are anti another group simply for being honest about their sexuality is another way to shame gays and particularly lesbians. New decade same old shit.

Equality Australia welcomes decision to deny exemption to exclude trans women from lesbian event LGBTIQ+ groups have welcomed a decision by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) to reject an application by a lesbian group to hold a social event at the Victorian Pride Centre that excludes ...

Here's Equality Australia celebrating the stripping of lesbian and women's freedom of association. Party on. equalityaustralia.org.au/equality-aus...

I mean ACTUAL legislated banning of women meeting in public by themselves. You're perfectly entitled to decide that's fine and LAVA are making a horrid fuss, but you won't convince me.

Look there are so many examples and you can ignore them all you like but I agree with LAVA that it is problematic that lesbians are shamed for exclusive same-sex attraction and that women including lesbians are being denied freedom of association as well as freedom of speech.

If a lesbian only desires same-sex dates that’s not bigotry, it’s her right | Sonia Sodha At Allison Bailey’s employment tribunal, breaking the ‘cotton ceiling’ was equated to racial integration, an idea that is as wrong as it is dangerous

Lesbians are being kicked off dating apps for saying they only want to date females. All power to other people to do what they want but it's true that for females with exclusive same-sex attraction are losing their spaces and their rights. That's wrong. Some good links in here. tinyurl.com/4e4p4m5r

if only but that's simply not true. The CEO of Stonewall's largest queer charity said lesbians were sexual racists if they were not attracted to trans people. Lesbians who want to meet in women-only groups have been entirely banned in Australia.

Great. So tell me what the problem is with LAVA's homepage. Which of these things very genuine concerns is problematic?

But you said some people think lesbian rights must strip away other rights. Again, which people & which rights? Some female people who id as lesbian may be comfortable with considering male born people part of their sexuality, but some lesbians aren't. Shaming their sex-based sexuality is homophobic

NZ Law Commission maths:
X must be protected in law
X=the relationship between X and Y

I guess it depends on your priorities right? Your priority might be the rights of people with penises who identify as female to enter spaces where some females do not want them. I guess LAVA's priority would be the rights of actual females to choice and autonomy.

What people and what rights are being stripped away?

Never heard of her

So which of these pro-women and pro-lesbian principles do you disagree with? And what kind of movement are you aligned with if it doesn't like lesbian rights? Could it be a homophobic one?

Here's LAVA's homepage. They are concerned, moderate and heartfelt. If you go to support Pride you are denying women's freedom of association, our right to say no to men, our right to define our own sexuality and you are like Pride now does, supporting homophobia. #WellingtonShame

Villifying & untrue. In an act of homophobic intolerance, Wellington Pride kicked lesbians out of an event. Lesbians who were going to show a map of the lesbian history of Wgtn and who advocate for the rights of exclusively same-sex attracted women. Wgtn Pride believes gayness is anti-trans bigotry.

Here are LAVA's principles, which may not be shared by Pride or even you, but are compassionate, considered and heartfelt. Pride and its buddies are now the most powerful perpetuators of homophobia, as it has long been understood, in the country. #WellingtonShame

WARNING: Wellington Pride kicked lesbians out of its event because they advocate for the rights of those who are exclusively same-sex oriented. This homophobic bigotry was by Pride against lesbians. Lesbianism itself is now considered "anti-trans bullying"

Let's clarify. Wellinngto Pride kicked lesbians out of its event because they believe in and advocate for the rights of those who are exclusively same-sex oriented. This homophobic bigotry was by Pride against lesbians who wanted to display a map of Wellington Lesbian history. #WellingtonShame
