I agree that the master doc is silly and am happy to see pushback on it finally... and it’s woke so I’m glad that they can’t immediately say TERF...

But this author... don’t like her either. She keeps saying lesbians can like men basically and that our definition needs to be clarified. As if people don’t understand what the word lesbian means she even says “bi dykes” are valid... over snd over she makes this point that lesbians should not have to not be attracted to men.

Then she says some things are TERF that are not. For example she says seeing feminine men as women is TERF. But TERFs say all men, no matter how feminine are just men and even trans women are just men...

EDIT: oops I didn't mean to respond to you but I'll leave it lol

"My main issues with the document are:

  1. That it is full of misinformation and unresearched theory, including but not exclusive radical feminism and politcal lesbianism.

  2. A lot of that misinformation is bigoted, specifically misogynistic, ableist, biphobic and transphobic

  3. I believe it to be the most malicious in its bi-erasure and, if I'm being perfectly honest, its weird kind of conversion rhetoric."

So she's thinks the CompHet master doc is biphobic and bi-erasure and guilty of preaching conversion rhetoric. I'm a little confused about the conversion therapy part. Does she think that we lesbians want to convince every woman that she's a lesbian or something? Uhh we've been trying to get fetishistic straight women to fuck off for the longest time. We're definitely not out to convert anyone here. And as for "bi-erasure", that's got nothing to do with us. Bisexual women have been erasing themselves forever. When you tell them matter-of-factly that they're bisexual and not lesbians they will gut you.

She doesn't realize that the Master Doc is homophobic.

    I guess so, but it annoys me that she thinks lesbians are trying to convert bisexual women. She doesn't understand that it's her fellow bisexual women who are going around telling every other non-lesbian woman that she's a lesbian. Someone needs to tell this woman that the most bi-phobic biphobes are bisexuals and "bi-erasure" is an internal problem that they only have themselves to blame for.
