So many lesbians, and older lesbians in particular, are supporting the trans cult. I've just spent a few hard days on twitter with some of them, being insulted and screamed at, and called every derogatory term under sun. They defend the trans cult and the mutilation of our young sisters tooth and nail. They are so hateful towards us who are standing firm, calling out sexism, lesbophobia and the oppression by gender identity laws. It's a painful war.
It's heartbreaking, isn't it? And so disappointing! The only way I can understand it is just to think of them as victims of a cult. And I continue, of course, to be inspired by the amazing leadership and resistance to gender ideology from lesbians and other women.
At every Let Women Speak event, standing with the male thugs who are shouting at and threatening (and sometimes attacking) women are the 'handmaids' - what on earth are they doing or thinking!!
"The bit that makes me feel frantic is the wholesale takeover that puts girls in the position of feeling like the only way to avoid being used as a sex object is to opt out of womanhood altogether." https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/the-final-frontier-is-not-space
Girls and women are being gaslighted and bullied out of fulfilling their destiny as powerful warriors who are the only sex that can nurture and birth the next generation. Those who eventually come to terms with their female embodied reality are filled with regret about their lost health and opportunities.
I love this piece. It made me cry. I am sending it my non-binary goddaughter, who thinks I am no longer a woman she can look up to because I supported Kellie-Jay Keen. I think this is my favourite of yours (so far) xxxxx
I hear you. To me it's always meant and still means 1/ recognising sexism exists and particularly affects females 2/ thinking it sucks 3/ working to fix it
Fantastic article, as always. Here’s hoping the message gets through soon.
I had always considered myself a feminist, but these days I’ve distanced myself from that label as it seems be becoming more and more synonymous with being an ardent man-hater. I strongly advocate for women’s rights and children’s safety and believe biological sex matters, but I don’t believe that all men are evil.
Feminism and radical (lesbian) feminism is not synonymous to 'man hating' in my experience. It's the analysis of how the world is constructed, exploited, and ruled still by male dominant power structures over the back of girls and women, and men in poverty stricken countries. Cheap labour, sex trafficking, surrogacy exploitation, and the profits made from various wars. The exploitation of our Earths' resources by multi national corporations, fossil fuel giants and governments, which now sees a global climate crisis, is mainly brought on by male thinking and the hunger for wealth, wealth is power. And many high flying women are coerced into this as well as we can see in the drivers of gender identity ideology, the CEO's of Stonewall and Mermaids, and here in Australia ACON, and the Dutch female Prof. who conducted and designed the experiment called the Dutch Protocol. And now we see female politicians who are imposing SelfID laws and 'anti conversion' laws on every citizen because they have been lobbied relentlessly by trans rights activists (you guessed it, mostly born male!) under the guise of giving them 'civil rights', and 'transgender medical care'. I could go on and on but I'm not ready to move away from feminist analysis. Sexism against females is alive and well, and I'm very concerned for young women who can see no other way of escaping this, than to 'identify' into the male sex class. I don't blame them, I do understand. But to then modify your body and hormonal system just to escape biological oppression, is taking it a bit far. I feel deeply troubled by what is happening for girls and women who get pushed out of the way by 'she males' driven to show the world they are better 'women' than females born and raised females. Yes, patriarchy has found a new 'novel' way to destroy women. It sucks!
Me neither. I have many men and boys in my life I love. I guess I think that whatever we call ourselves it will get smeared. But I also understand that labels carry different weight for different people, I don't care how you identify (lol) it's the work you do and the beliefs you hold that are important.

Wow. This is so heartfelt & powerful.
Excellent letter and plea, Garwhoungle.
At every Let Women Speak event, standing with the male thugs who are shouting at and threatening (and sometimes attacking) women are the 'handmaids' - what on earth are they doing or thinking!!
Thanks for this
Dusty

Thanks Sheryl! If you have any idea how to anonymously get it in front of the target audience...
