I have to say I agree with quite a bit of what Kobi is saying- and I am not shy about disagreeing with her.
Why do many lesbians keeping asking for a Lesbian Zone or wanting a Lesbian Zone if it is completely redundant? I think lesbians have spoken to some of those desires to those who read the threads.
Why are lesbians so suspect?
I think women need to be a hell of a lot more militant than they are now in this world for us to finally get somewhere.
There are lesbians that are transphobic, there are transmen who are misogynist, there are people of every gender persuasion that are bigots. I think it's great that we have a Trans Zone, but I have seen things written there that I didn't care for. Why is it the Lesbian Zone that is questioned and disparaged? Why is it the Lesbian Zone in particular seen as having HUGE potential for being unwelcoming?
Again why are lesbians in particular so suspect?
Why are lesbian stereotypes so difficult for people to distinguish between what are supposedly people's personal truths, when other isms seem to be more recognizable as perpetuating stereotypes? Just a few of the questions that I have.
Edit: And to be clear the Lesbian Zone keeps getting questioned over and over again. My response is not just to one post made by Medusa.
