Oh good, more erasing.
The National Sexual Wellbeing Survey for Women Who Have Sex With Women is live for 4 more weeks!
We need to make sure this research is representative of ALL self identifying women!
CALLING ALL TRANS WOMEN-

Weird, ain’t it? No mention of lesbians, but urgent recruiting of trans women.
Oh wait there is one mention of lesbians! Well sort of. Well not really mention, but tiny hint. Tiny bashful hardly there hint. There’s the L in LGBT Foundation.
Not for long though, judging by the replies.

Some of the comments on the twitter thread are pointed. There’s clearly anger building in L circles and not before time frankly.
I’m not terribly judgemental about who people have sex with and how, provided everyone involved is an adult, consenting (and actually able to do so in a full sense) and the sex is not emotionally or physically harmful in the long term. People have kinks I don’t have and I get that.
It does add a lot of layers to the kink to be a man, who wants to identify as a women, just so you can PiA sex with a lesbian though. It almost begins to feel more like a misogynists wet dream…
Just for argument, taking LGBT Foundation’s request at face value, asking for responses from transwomen, why ask for “women who have sex with women”? Is LGBT Foundation not inclusive of transwomen having sex with men?
LGBT Foundation’s request does not make sense at face value. LGBT Foundation is giving lesbians shit, and lesbians are reacting rightly to the shit-giving.
I just followed the survey link. This stood out in the explanatory notes…
Cool! So I don’t even have to identify as a woman all of the time to justify wanting to have penis-in-wherever sex with a lesbian; and I can still call myself a woman/lesbian for those purposes! Maybe I’ll keep that for special. Every second Friday between 8pm and midnight. I wonder if that will fly…
The whole trans thing is super obnoxious, and wording it “women who have sex with women” is also, but I would rather like it if they mentioned lesbians AND bisexuals. Bisexuals so often seem forgotten about in these surveys.
Lesbians and bisexual women I mean.
I’m laughing at them calling it “research”. A poll with a self-selected sample population is as unscientific and non-research as can be.
