Which ones tipped you over the edge? Just the radfem ones or others too?

Mostly just the radfem ones. I can dig up a couple examples if you're interested.

Dennis Kavanaugh, the legal commentator for LGN also has a blog. He does provide quality legal analysis. His articles are my favorite too.

Did not know that, will take a look!

I have wondered this too. I have been watching LGB Alliance though and I don’t think I’ve seen evidence yet that it is run by political lesbians

Apart from the Kathleen Stock connection, I'm not sure either, but I think the possibility's concerning and we ought to keep an eye out for it. I'm actually really glad to see that a lot of other people on this thread share similar concerns, I wasn't sure if it was just us.

but I also don’t expect them to call out political lesbians when they are focused on trying to gather a base of support.

Agreed, although I hope they would if given the chance. Have you seen much by LGB Fight Back? They seem to strike a noticeably different tone from LGB Alliance's.
