Lesbian activists block Pride in London march to protest against trans women

A group of lesbian activists blocked the start of the Pride in London march today (7 July) in protest against transgender women.

A group of eight women stormed the parade route without accreditation. Then five of them laid down on the road in front of the parade and draped a banner over them.

The banner read: ‘Transactivism erases lesbians’.

They then blocked the parade route for about 10 minutes. One of the activists shouted out: ‘A man who says he’s a lesbian is a rapist’

I'm old, someone needs to explain this to me because I don't understand what lesbians have to do with trans women or vice versa.

I have no use for TERFs. Transpeople are part of my LGBTQ family. I cut off anyone who causes division within my family -- even family.

And this would be laughable, were they not dead serious:

"The flyer states: ‘The trans movement is… coercing lesbians to have sex with men.'"

I think this is a diliberate and coordinated attack against trans lesbians and future marches need to be prepared for this in the future.
