How is transgenderism a form of homophobia?
Transgender ideology (or transgenderism) presents itself as a form of avant-gardism combining social and technical progress. However, behind this beautiful costume, hides a new form of homophobia particularly dangerous for the rights of the lesbians. Explanations.
Transgenderism denies the biological reality of sexuation. According to this ideology, sex is either a spectrum or a "social construct" (as mentioned in the trans lexicon lexicon of Planning Familial), or simply a very secondary element in defining a person. The element that should take precedence in defining a person's identity would be gender, i.e., a stereotype (or a feeling, to use the word of trans activists).
To deny the reality of sexuation is to deny the sexual orientation of people. However, just like gender, skin color or social origin, we do not choose our sexual orientation. We feel a sexual and/or love attraction for women, for men, or for both, and even if we force ourselves, it is impossible to change this.
Some trans activists refer to sexual orientation as "genital preference" and claim that anyone who refuses to have sex with someone because of their gender is "transphobic. Forcing a gay man to have sex with a female and a lesbian to have sex with a male is the basis of homophobia.
Promoting the idea that lesbians would like penises, and wanting to force them to include penises in their sexuality is a form of conversion therapy.
Opposition to transgenderism: the new lesbian struggle
Currently, lesbians' rights are threatened by transgender ideology: they are harassed and threatened when they refuse to have sex with trans women (transidentified males), they have almost no non-mixed spaces where they can meet and exchange between women. Do we need to remind you that coerced or threatened sex is rape, and rape is a crime?
Several associations and groups are fighting against this new form of homophobia: LGB alliance, Get The L Out, Gay Against Groomers, Lesbian Resistance.
Women of the association "Get The L Out" demonstrate at the gay pride in London, 2018
Lesbians face attacks from all sides: those who demonstrate their right to have their sexual orientation respected are regularly beaten by activists trans activists. In 2021, the women of the Lesbian Resistance collective were beaten by a trans-identified man because they were chanting "What dolesbians not have? PENIS! What don't lesbians like?PENIS!"
Sometimes the police even deny them access to demonstrations for their own rights (supposedly to protect them).
The violence exists online on social networks, in the street, and is now spreading to the courts: recently, the LGB Alliance association was sued by the Mermaids association (which promotes gender transitions for children) to have its public subsidies withdrawn.
In France, while lesbian couples have just obtained the same possibility as heterosexual couples to marry and to access MAP, the rapid expansion of transgenderism threatens even more basic gains: the right not to be worried because they refuse to include penises in their sexuality.
