ResourceIn advance of Ovarit closing, consider signing the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights and getting involved with WDI
The Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights has almost 40,000 signatures globally. Make sure you've signed in order to be connected to a network of women with events online and in person.
If you're in the US, you can apply to volunteer with WDI USA here.
If you're outside the US, apply to be a volunteer in your country here.
I do agree that line is homophobic. Bisexual or straight women claiming to be lesbian is annoying, if not harmful, and there's a lot of misrepresentation with "political lesbians" who are just "settling", and lesbians being led on by women who eventually seek out dick.
Unfortunately it might be that they're focusing on elliminating the greater threat of males masquerading as females, and therefore claiming themselves lesbians, as the larger threat at the moment.
I'll hope that once we can lock it down that orientation isn't a choice, since men can't choose to be lesbians on the basis of being male, that women will also be subject to this scrutiny. If sexual orientation "is a choice" - which it isn't, because why would straight women stay straight otherwise - then it dismantles their entire argument.
Women aren't lesbians just because they're female, they're lesbians because they are exclusively same sex attracted females.
How can we ‘lock it down’ when the organisation is run a by a woman whose career has been dedicated to denigrating lesbians’ sexual orientation?
You’re all downvoting me but then she enjoys telling heterosexual women that they are choosing oppression by being exclusively attracted to men… don’t shoot the messenger
It's two downvotes, and they weren't from me, I agreed with you.
Not signing the bill in protest, and continuing to highlight this back to WDI everytime it comes up, raises awareness for this problematic issue to others. I'm not sure how I feel about the supposed representative not responding to any of our comments on this particular issue while addressing others.
