In case you're curious, there was a discussion about her some months back: https://saidit.net/s/LGBDropTheT/comments/7xim/lesbians_arent_attracted_to_a_female_gender/

Thanks for the link, I read Kathleen Stock's article, and yeah, it very much sounds like Kathleen Stock is homosexual-leaning bisexual woman, not a lesbian. I think homoflexible bisexual is Julie Bindel’s most likely sexual orientation too. Kathleen Stock doesn’t seem to be a political lesbian though as she doesn’t propagate that straight women should give women a try or that bisexuals should stop sleeping with men in the name of feminism, instead her argument seems to be that bisexual women who enjoy sex with men but prefer women should be called lesbians too (something I strongly disagree with). As Kathleen Stock is the trustee of the LGB Alliance that might be reason they don’t see problem with Julie Bindel stance on homosexuality as Kathleen Stock also sees homosexuality as a form of bisexuality.

Yup, I would agree with that assessment.

Yes, exactly. This is what concerns me.
