What was once a call for gay rights is now a call for the erasure of same-sex attraction. Lesbians who voice their attraction for women based on sex - not gender ID - are called “exclusionary." A lesbian, who isn't attracted to men who identify as women, is a bad lesbian.

When these “exclusionary” lesbians stand by their sexual orientation – their attraction to other, biological women – they stop being welcome at Gay Pride events. For being same-sex attracted. For being gay.

These same-sex attracted women are no longer welcome among the politically correct left - the people who claim to be fighting for gay rights and for women’s rights. If only gay women would just shut up about their rights so the world could be a better, more inclusive place.

I can't figure out what you are on about. No one who tells any specific women who they should sleep with belongs in any polite society. I suspect that is not really what you are talking about.

I’m talking about lesbians, including myself, who have been called bigoted and exclusionary for saying that, as same-sex attracted women, we’re attracted to women - not men who identify as women.

Saying that as a statement of personal choice when asked is absolutely appropriate and every women's/person's uninfringable right. If no one asks, why say it? I fought and won 4 gay transmen to be in sexual spaces/bars in SF, even though I'm not into transmen.
