‘LGB Alliance’ Group Is Being Labeled As Transphobic
A new lesbian, gay and bisexual alliance group excludes the transgender community leading to many people calling it ‘transphobic’.
The ‘LGB Alliance’ group is formed by previous members of the LGBT+ charity Stonewall.
The group formed of “influential lesbians, gay men and bisexuals” talked about its mission to “counteract the confusion between sex and gender which is now widespread in the public sector and elsewhere”, according to the ‘Independent’.
Lawyer Allison Bailey called the new group a “historic moment for the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual movement”.
“Spread the word, gender extremism is about to meet its match,” Bailey tweeted.
In response to Bailey, one person tweeted: “As a bisexual woman, I am utterly disgusted at your attacks on our trans siblings and your alliance with the religious right. You do not speak for me (or for any of the other queers I know – we’re all equally repulsed by your ideas).”
Another person wrote on Twitter: “You can’t be pro-LGB if you’re anti-T. We are one, together. No ‘LGB Alliance’ will speak for me or any of my friends or colleagues.”
