LesbianThe disappointment of Lesbian Visibility Week: “It seems if one wants to take part, acceptance of the mainstream line on trans inclusion must now be performed, even if not believed.”

Yes, and no cheers for women born as women who are lesbians. All the cheers are for transbians.

When's Sheep Week when all the cheers are for trans sheep born as wolves?

2021 promises a bumper year of LVW activities with a collaboration between DIVA magazine and Stonewall attracting sponsors including Proctor & Gamble, Tesco and TSB.

Of course it has sponsors.

Is it a week now? Also @ older lesbians when did the day start? Wikipedia says 2008 but there's no actual source. The amount of days and weeks dedicated to the trans is depressing, I don't recommend that wiki journey

It's really time for an "LGB Spaces Day of Remembrance" every other month or so.

“Now remember everyone, this Christmas Eve service is sponsored by Walmart, so make sure to stop by afterwards and pick up a few last minute gifts!” Like lmao why do you need a sponsor for a week that’s just about noticing lesbians.

wikipedia is full of trans activists writing the info. Womens pages are being deleted and anyone who is gender critical even in the slightest sense has a transphobia paragraph.

Just stop using it

Do you have any examples of the most egregious incidents of this?

A funny example is James Dreyfus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dreyfus Currently it just states his interview with Graham Lineham very neutrally.

But if you go check the page history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Dreyfus&action=history

You see there is a war going on they are constantly changing his page content added, reverted, content added, reverted, ...

In a previous version there was an entire section of controversy stating hes transphobic https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Dreyfus&diff=1015761671&oldid=1015725663

Maybe next week it will be back

I suspect it started well after 2008. More like 2014+. A group of friends from tumblr were joking about how the wikipedia page that listed LGBT visibility days had no mention of lesbians until a couple of us spotted that, and decided it would be funny to message a popular queerio blog ls with fake whining about it. Within a couple weeks suddenly an entry existed for this day and a background was drafted for where it came from. Watching it come together on social media just pop out of no where was fascinating. Sure maybe it did actually start in 2008 in the UK. Or maybe that was a convenient way to hide the fact that there was no lesbian visibility day etc but a day for a bunch of groups like pan and various others.

I actually did some digging after I asked that and I guess it originated in Spain? I couldn't go back past 2012 since all the resources were only in spanish. However, It looks like the day as it's currently known sprang into existence in 2015 and didn't start taking off until 2017 thanks to twitter and really took off when TRAs decided it needed to include "all women".

According to the LGBTQIABCDEFG community, real lesbians like penis and if you don't fuck trans women you get the cane again.
