    Our tweet of the definition we use for lesbian has received responses asking us to police the term according to women's body shapes. Trans women are women. Some of them are lesbians; some are straight; some are bi; some use other terms to describe their sexual orientation.

        It's such policing which places masculine, butch, even andro presenting cis lesbians and women on the receiving end of horrible comments and confrontation. It's the kind of thinking that ends up hurting the people it was supposedly meant to protect in the first place.

        Blame your male transactivist mates for that. Women are never going to be comfortable with obvious men barging into the ladies.

        No you were asked to accept the legal definition according to a woman's SEX. Nothing to do with body shapes. Are you really saying Equality Network goes against current laws? Do you deny lesbians the rights afforded to them as a protected characteristic?

        I would bet money that a TRA wrote that statement about the "body shapes". Even their strongest allies would think twice before making such a batshit and disingenuous claim.

        Transwomen are men. The clue is in the trans part. Could I be a transwomen? Obviously not, because I'm not a man. Clear now? Your sex is defined by your body, not a feeling in your head.

        If you have a functional SRY gene and bioavailable androgens you're male and that's not something that can be changed by hormones or cosmetic surgery. Get over it.

        The only thing necessary to be a trans woman is to be male. There is nothing wrong with being trans, but there's a whole lot wrong with pushing a false narrative which seeks to incorrectly redefine females and homosexuality.
