This is so stupid. How would they even enforce it? Are they going to check everyone’s chromosomes at each meeting?

Lots of trans women pass, and lots of cis lesbians can look a bit manly, so I can’t imagine any practical way to enforce it. And a rule without enforcement is pointless.

    LAG are a bunch of terf arseholes and considering the transgender panic has been explicitly dropped and fanned as a distraction from Epstein Activities, I will consider anyone pushing this shit to be a goddamn pedo mouthpiece.

    Get. Fucked.

    “The Victorian-based LAG says it subscribes to the philosophy of lesbian feminism and does not believe humans can change sex.”.

    Nobody’s suggesting people can change their biological sex. But gender is a social construct, separate from sex. That’s why it’s literally called transgender.

    Literally my first thought: s it going to be based on honesty policy or is one of them going to act as the official genital inspector? I mean I am a heterosexual cisgender man, but even I can see that they are going to struggle to attract new young members when the newbies have to demonstrate their fully functional reproductive system to a senior member before being invited to events.

    I have heard some pretty rough stories of women transvestigating people and making it worse by pushing past the limits of verbal and psychological harassment into physical assault. Do they really feel that this will make their community safer?

    Will they accept a ftm trans person into their group?

    I doubt it. Once you start excluding some people, you start looking for ways to exclude everyone. Choose love, not hatred.

    Heads up, they lost…….again. This 15 member group failed to change a law that doesn’t need changing. Sometimes good things do happen.
