This is just a rant of disbelief and I’ll try and keep things a little vague as to not be targeted or have the gym found out.
I haven’t been to my fave climbing gym in over 4 years. Before that, I had been going for roughly 8 years. I live in a pretty liberal city, but this gym was never one to show any sort of political views. I finally went yesterday and…. They’ve gone head first into the inclusivity TRAin.
I had to re-take my belay test because they don’t use my belay device anymore. I used an ATC like anyone else. When I asked why they switched to only grigris on the ropes and not ATCs, they said it was to make “climbing more accessible to those who cannot afford ATCs.” 😒 they’re like $30… How about making the membership cheaper? (It’s the most expensive climbing gym in my state.) I digress.
There are all types of queer flags everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. In the entrance, in the Bouldering area, the work space. And not just the LGBTQ one, but all the other colorful ones. The work space has a full on bulletin board JUST for Queer events. What about women events you ask? Oh, we have one day on the normal event calendar and it’s for “witches” not women. 🤦🏻♀️
There are scannable QR codes everywhere for Queer info. One for pronouns?! Why would I need pronouns while climbing??
There was even a sign that said “climbing is a dangerous sport” !!!! Like DUH?! Who here needs to be coddled this much? One wall just had a bunch of signs that said “you belong” “climb as you are.” “We’re glad you’re here.” “Keep being you.” Which, okay, great, because when I started climbing there it was a very pretentious spot where you had to prove yourself on the wall to be taken seriously. So at least they’ve shifted away from that whole vibe?
Side note, I was wearing a Hogwarts shirt and was climbing with a lesbian who has made it really clear she does not like men at all. I felt like a rebel.
I’m wondering when the shift happened. There was one guy I used to climb with who transitioned around the same time I moved cities. On his social I noticed he used the gym mats to perform and record himself “dancing like a woman” and I can’t help but to wonder if he had anything to do with the shift, since he essentially spent all his time at the gym.
Anyway. I’m going to continue going with my friend and maybe inquire about “witches night.” because rest assured I’d show up to that in more HP garb.⚡️
Literally only a man would wish an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy on a woman.
I can say I have never wished that on someone and I hate some people.
i hope whoever downvoted me gets preggers
I hate them so much for saying things like this. Freaking sick man wishing unwanted pregnancy on women like its just a fun little joke because they know that unlike real women, they can never be forced to give birth. They are calling themselves women while constantly making a mockery of actual oppression women face because its nothing to them
And also shows their extreme overreactions to any disagreement.
This guy wishes an unwanted pregnancy on women for downvoting his comment on a website.
EDIT: and more so, he's speaking directly about lesbians. Which means he wants lesbians to be raped and get pregnant as a result. Absolutely disgusting, vile monster.
These men deserve no compassion when this is how they treat others. Compassion and empathy are important, but they go both ways.
It's so maddening how they try to make it sound like "TERFs" are just a "loud minority of lesbians." Like, in reality, the ones you're calling "TERFs" are the only actual lesbians, and you're kicking them out of their own subreddit...
I fear, like "literal", the word "actual" is being taken over and losing its meaning.
It sucks that r/actuallesbians is just called that because r/lesbians is a porn subreddit. r/actuallesbians sounds like it should have been made by radfems who are sick of the nonsense.
r/truelesbians was the GC lesbian subreddit. Unfortunately it was banned for excluding males. I wish lesbians still had it as a refuge.
Yeah, all lesbian subreddits either get banned or invaded by TIMs. The one "cis lesbian" subreddit there is has less than 100 members. :(
I have no idea how "transbians" are so ignorant to the way they're hurting real lesbians. It shouldn't be difficult to see that attraction is based on biological sex. And yet they deny that reality so they can feel validated as women.
The men who say they are "trans lesbians" know exactly how much they are hurting lesbians. They get off on it. And they become more vicious as lesbians resist them. And then get even greater pleasure from even greater cruelty to, and violation of, lesbians and lesbian community.
They. Get. Off. On. It.
Honestly I think some of them are just truly living in a world of delusion. They want to be women so badly that they convince themselves they are women, and then when lesbians resist that idea, they convince themselves that those lesbians are just evil TERFs. Their cruelty to the so-called "TERFs" is defensiveness because they're hiding from reality. But they still think they're allies to lesbians, because how could they not be? After all, they are lesbians too.
They draw a distinction between the "good lesbians" and the "bad lesbians." And it just so happens to be that the bad lesbians are...well, actual lesbians.
r/ActuallyLesbian is a based subreddit. There’s some handmaidening going on and one or two larping TIMs (that I’ve caught through RES tagging), but overall very based and made up of real lesbians as far as I can tell. Complete banning of all topics not related to lesbianism and all posts about TIMs are swiftly removed. Highly recommend more lesbians here make their presence known because it’s growing quickly, and we all know what that means.
Replied to a comment further down but wanted to comment on yours so you’d get a notification: r/ActuallyLesbian is a good subreddit that I highly recommend; all of the lesbians on Reddit that are there are three degrees away from being TERFs and it’s super refreshing!
They wish pregnancy on women because they know that is incredibly dangerous, American maternal medicine is weak, and abortion is illegal. Like they know that women are oppressed and are gleeful about it.
FYI some mice have fish scales...
That's how stupid it sounds. These men are delusional. Just like everything else, they think they can brute force their own reality on others. You cannot change your chromosomes/sex. You cannot be a lesbian as lesbians are female.
Moments such as this are the only times I feel sorry about being banned from Reddit, because I'd gladly add my downvote so they can get to 8 :)
Notice how TIMs all know and are pretty much open about the fact that TIM "lesbians" are straight men who only want to fuck actual women. After all, a transbian with another transbian wouldn't result in a pregnancy, either.
They know that among themselves, there is no need to keep pretending to believe in the ideology they spout for public relations. All they want is male supremacy. That's why only women are the enemy.
They’d rather not openly admit that even they don’t want to go to bed with trans women
I got banned from a sub discussing the WLW themes in Taylor Swift's music for saying that lesbians are female homosexuals. This was in response to someone claiming that bi lesbians are a common normal thing throughout history 🙄
reveddit, r/actuallesbians

Ahh yes the best form of birth control. Become a lesbian!
Comment:
FYI some lesbians have a penis...
Comment:
Being lesbian still means you can get someone pregnant
edit: i hope whoever downvoted me gets preggers

I wouldn't wish that on anyone who doesn't want it, but yeah, all 7 TERFs are active today, spreading their downvotes.
Funny how they mention “can get someone pregnant” but not “can become pregnant”. Almost like they’re putting male bodies as the default and forgetting the main demographic of lesbians or something. 🤔
(But note the people they attempt to threaten can become pregnant… 🤔🤔🤔)
Worryingly, there are probably more men with crossdressing fetishes in the world than there are lesbians total. I've read its anywhere from 3-5% of men. They may actually have the numbers to make themselves the default in all online lesbian spaces at the very least. Pretty sickening
People seem to have totally forgotten that we once knew that crossdressing was a pretty common male fetish and that anyone who engaged in it was creepy as hell. Even when I was a little girl, you'd always hear the gossip about who the local creeps were.
Part of the problem, I think, could be the reluctance for women to call themselves lesbian.
It should be simple, just like feminism should be simple, but the oppressive heteronormative culture tends to push lesbians to the back, and some privileged lesbians don’t help.
I have witnessed some lesbians say that, short of violent rape, no woman who has slept with a man is allowed (“allowed”) to call herself a lesbian.
So when a man who was married to a woman for twenty years comes out as a gay man, he’s acknowledged as a gay man, but a woman who does the same is discouraged from using the term lesbian.
I have seen women who are only attracted to women refuse to call themselves lesbians because they don’t find men disgusting. Like, they have picked up that, in order to be a lesbian you not only have to be attracted to women, you have to be violently and physically repulsed by men….
So I can’t help but wonder if the numbers are being skewed.
(.. .then again maybe they’re being corrected to by all the “transbians”)
I’m surprised it’s only that much. I feel like their numbers are increasing, at the least.
They're probably the main demographic in that sub at this point; they keep banning all the real lesbians for being lesbians.
God this is so true and infuriating… being banned from your own space for being whom that space was intended for.
The subreddit "true lesbians" for, well, true lesbians only, was run off reddit back in 2020 for being a hate group.
Men really cannot stand women having lives that don’t revolve around men
This angers me the most
