Today, I was given a permanent ban of posting on my Facebook page, @Meta. The page can exist - apparently - but I am not allowed to post on it anymore. The page has been deemed controversial due to the Giggle v Tickle case and increased popularity of 25,000 new followers in a week. I don't want to labor the irony of being banned on a social networking platform while fighting in court for the right to ban men from a woman only social networking platform, it is what it is. Frankly, I'd love to have the same right that you do, @Meta. Women are routinely punished for not accepting men as women. It doesn't turn those men into women. Nothing will.
Proud to see Welsh sisters stand up at the close of the Hay Literary Festival panel featuring @JuliaGillard , @HarrietHarman and @RuthDavidson to ask Gillard about Sall Grover while displaying a banner describing her as a “DESTROYER OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS”. The fact these protesters are lesbians gives their intervention even greater significance - Australian lesbians were among the first to raise the alarm about the impact of weakening female-only association rights following federal reforms in 2013 that removed biological definitions of woman, and devastated lesbian rights. The irony of a panel such as this (all of whom in their political career have impacted on the discourse around women's rights) being convened to discuss women’s rights and gender equality — without challenge from @BBCkatyaadler and with no audience Q&A — should prompt serious reflection from festival organisers about what the purpose of panels such as this at Hay literary festival serve. @LesbianLabour @LGBAllies_Cymru @lgballiance_aus @soniasodha @jo_bartosch @acts_grassroots @nickwallis
Re your question about lesbian / gay associations, as we all know, Stonewall's been working against gay and lesbian rights for the last 10+ years. And tbh they never did anything for lesbians, unless it was on the tail of things for the boys. So there's no way they're going to celebrate a lesbian rights victory.
Go Welsh lesbians! Proud to see two of our own staging this necessary intervention.
