looking at the list of men speaking up, I'm interested how you would deal with men starting to say things not because they are particularly committed to lesbians or women or GC politics but because of their own discomfit with trans people? (obvious eg is some conservative men)

I'd say that their own sexual aversion of trans people is their right, but it is not an excuse to discriminate all trans people simply on the basis of that. Same logic applies to homophobic straights and misogynist gays.
-
I was more meaning as a man calling other men to step up, how you would deal with men who want to use that as an opportunity to bring down trans people.
-
Ah, I'm with you. Emphasise the importance of compassion. There are real victims (trans) in this ideology. We need to be considerate of that for their sake, and for others that haven't yet, but susceptible, to being caught up in it all.
-
This would fall on deaf ears if the person is homophobic too though.

that was a hard read :-(

It certainly is. I hate to think how difficult and confusing it is for young LGB people reading stuff like this.

Thank you Kyan. I can count less than ten, (maybe 7?) mens voices I see speaking out about this on Twitter
@Glinner@jackappleby@BenWlv@Lachlan_Edi@faintlyfalling@MichaelConroy68 err who did I forget?@arobertwebb! We need you. Thank you, friend

Also,
@Zagzigger2,@sunilwilliams,@secondzeit,@fundypost and a few other decent NZ men. -
Thank you. 2018 was a year in which women spoke up, knowing they'd be punished for it. Here's hoping that 2019 will be the year that men step up to support our sisters.

@TheProject_Ed@CEB1980 and@BennWaddington are also worth a follow, if you don't already -
I'd say we shouldn't all be seen together in one place, but what the hell: we're all on the same blocklists anyway :P

This is boringly straightforward, old-fashioned bigotry. Black people went through it, gay people went through it, now it’s trans people’s turn. Plenty of women, including lesbians, including THE ACTUAL EDITOR OF DIVA MAGAZINE FFS, stand for equality. This man stands with them.

So many "lesbians with dicks" out there, there should be no problem finding a sexual partner...unless they don't like penises. For people complaining that lesbians are obsessed about dick, they sure are obsessed about vaginas!
