They aren’t though. They aren’t equivalent at all.
Stop with the transphobic nonsense. Signs and protests like these are equivalent to having signs that say "women don't have sex with women". There are women who have sex with women and it is equally true that some lesbians have penises. #YorkPride2019 #YorkPride #acceptance pic.twitter.com/CMGnyl8Xuu

Same-sex attraction is not the same kind of thing as claiming to be the sex opposite to your body. It’s a different kind of thing. Same-sex attraction is not the same kind of thing as gender dysphoria. Same-sex attraction is not the same kind of thing as thinking you were “born in the wrong body.” Same-sex attraction is not the same kind of thing as thinking you have a “woman’s soul” in a man’s body.
And why do lesbians feel the need to make this point? To carry signs saying lesbians don’t have penises? Because many trans activists bully lesbians for not wanting to have sex with male-bodied people. If trans activism hadn’t moved in a direction so hostile to women they wouldn’t have to. If trans activism hadn’t moved in a direction so hostile to lesbians they wouldn’t have to. They’re not doing it to be mean, they’re doing it to say they have a right to say no and a right to have boundaries. It’s not for a Daniel Holt to tell them otherwise.

How many unreconstructed transwomen “lesbians” are interested in having sex with other intact transwomen “lesbians”? I’ll bet the number is very small. Wouldn’t that be just as (or even more) bigotted? Shouldn’t they be willing too? Or is this kind of choice and preference a one way street down which only transwomen may drive without threat or penalty?
Yes. Absolutely. Trans women who claim to be lesbians are fully entitled to demand that lesbians accept them as lesbians and potential sex partners, while actual women who are actual lesbians are angrily forbidden to reject those demands.
Male privilege at all? Male sense of entitlement anyone?
I feel like I’m living in a gigantic satire. A not-funny one.
What does it even mean if a trans person calls themselves homosexual, if sex is opt-in?
