What about Meghan Murphy?

QuestionWhat about Meghan Murphy?

Posted November 19, 2024 by BoringUserName in Lesbians

What do you all think about Meghan Murphy?

I know she's controversial in some areas, but I'm wondering here specifically about her lesbian/gay stance.

Here are the two things that struck me recently:

First - Her interview with Jennifer Bilek, who is always anti-trans but invariably also drops things against lesbians and gay, as well. In this particular interview, for example, she made a point that "LGB"s can't reproduce and so need other ways to gain more of themselves. Really? The last time I heard that argument was back in the 1980s in Farm Country USA. So stupid. I can never manage to listen to Jennifer Bilek because while she says some truthful things, she also tends to come across as more than a little nuts, and in an irritating way, as well.

In any event, I expected Meghan Murphy to say something about that stupid assertion, but she still hadn't many minutes later - so was she in agreement? Not sure. Meghan is never one to be shy about speaking up - diplomatically, and not, depending on the conversation. Why didn't she speak up this time?

You can listen to the interview here. Sorry I don't have a timestamp. It's an hour+ interview, and I'm not going to push myself through it again to find it (I was out while I was listening, so wasn't able to note it then):

Second - Meghan wearing a "Gay and Retarded" t-shirt? Is this one supposed to be a joke? Is there something else lower down on the shirt that I couldn't read that would indicate it's a joke? Or...?

Here's a youtube where you can see the tshirt in question:

Anyone have any ideas on any of this? Did I miss something? I haven't always agreed with Meghan on everything, but I've respected her willingness to stand up when others wouldn't. Now I'm not sure if my respect for her hasn't been earned?

o/Lesbians is a space for lesbians to connect, thrive, and build a genuine lesbian community. We define lesbianism as homosexuality; a woman’s exclusive same-sex attraction to other women. Participation by non-lesbians in this circle is not allowed.

Along with our rules, we enforce the sitewide rules and guidelines.

No participation by people who are not both female and exclusively same sex attracted. Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
No slurs or pejoratives. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' used to refer to other women are considered slurs. Name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will also not be tolerated.
No bullying/ganging up on people. If the content is rule-breaking, report it instead of piling on.
Refrain from overgeneralizing your own experience onto others, or implying that what was true for you is necessarily true for all lesbians.
No criticism of sexual boundaries or relationship boundaries.
No content questioning one's lesbian orientation. Posts like 'When did you know?' are okay, but posts like 'What am I?' are not. We cannot tell you what you are. Similarly, refrain from unfounded speculation regarding the sex lives and sexuality of other women.
Gender-critical or trans-critical content lacking a lesbian focus will be removed.
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
No pornography. NSFW posts must be marked as such.
No selfies or other sharing of personal identifying information; no spam; and no self-promotion.
No using the exclusivity of the circle in bad faith towards/about the rest of the site, its content, or other users, who cannot respond if they've been misunderstood or misrepresented.
