sparkindarknessWhat a religious right lesbian would look like?
Well, look no further for Julie Bindel fits the role nicely.
Yes, Ms Bindel is a lesbian - and she hates trans people, has zero respect for them (she also thinks gay male porn is misogynist, so, y’know, it kind of gives a good baseline for how much logic she carries around with her). She surges forwards ferociously to protect women’s rights - but never trans women - and she pushes from places and arguments that should be safe for them and should be held for them.
Ms. Bindel - you’re hurting us. And not just the trans people you spill your bile over - though you‘re most certainly hurting them and turning safe spaces - our safe spaces, their safe spaces, into toxic places for them.
You’re hurting us in general every time you use the arguments of the haters. Every time you give repeat to the ridiculous “slippery slope” argument, every time you imply one of our bothers or sisters is unnatural or freaky or wrong, every time you show your prejudiced backside to the world, you hurt us. You are using the tools of those who would hurt us. You are giving legitimacy to all the vile arguments we spend our lives countering. these are arguments that literally mean life and death to all LGBT people and YOU ARE SUPPORTING THEM. For gods’ sake, Ms. Bindel, buy a clue and open your eyes. READ your screeds - they are from the religious right’s playbook!
Hey, y’know? I have issues with the word “queer” as well, but to use the weapons of the haters like Ms. Bindel does - to sharpen them to a nice edge before handing them back - is ludicrous, destructive and offensive. To attack one of the pillars of the LGBT movement like this.
She is not champion of ours. Her bigotry against the “t” should make her shunned by all the LGBs as well. So not accept her hate. Do not accept her prejudice. Do not consent to this woman presuming to speak for us or represent us. And most certainly she should not be honoured or help us as any kind of advocate or speaker. We disrespect our trans brothers and sisters when we accept her and do not call her on her crap.
