Woman doesn’t invite men shocker
Just imagine: a lesbian is planning a lesbian club and she’s not including men. So eccentric.
A feminist campaigner is to open Britain’s first lesbian members bar that will only allow biological women to join.
Well duh. It’s a lesbian members bar, so obviously it’s not for men.
(The men can always try the Garrick.)
The bar, named the L Community, is due to open in London later this year and will operate as a private members club so that it can bar trans women from signing up.
The bar has been set up by Jenny Watson, who in September last year was at the centre of a transphobia row after she insisted only “adult human females” could attend the lesbian speed-dating events she had organised, and urged men to stay away.
Women must never ever ever say no to men.
The bar will continue to provide speed-dating sessions, as well as open mic shows, live music performances and a book club. Ms Watson rejected the suggestion that her bar policy was transphobic and said she was instead trying to create a women-only space.
But women are subversive, so if there are no men present, they might bring all of society down. It’s a risk.
I think this is a better idea than the Garrick, and serves a more important need. I support the possibility of both, though I would have no desire to go into either.
I will be amused if Ms. Watson features a trans-identifying female in some of her publicity literature, because the same, inevitable old lie is tiresome and deserves preemptive disproof. It’s not transphobic to keep out men who identify as women; it would be transphobic to keep out women who identify as trans.
(I wonder if some transman will become a ubiquitous beard)
I wonder how long the lesbian club will last once Labour gets into power.
I reminisce about the day no one felt the need to say ‘biological female’. The ‘biological’ should not be needed, since female is a biological term, defined by biological characteristics, and is therefore redundant. But now we have to differentiate between transwomen (males) and women (females), so biological becomes an important adjective to shove on the beginning of every mention of women when you don’t want to include men.
And it has nothing to do with “identity”, yet I heard someone claim to “biologically identify as female” recently. Yikes.
