They should change their acronym to correspond to the current hierarchy of privilege and social gravitas: TLGB

The revolutions eats its own. From Lesbian icon to a persona non-grata.

I think if they were allowed to speak freely on the issue, you'd find that many, if not most, lesbians and feminists are less than thrilled to have "transgender women" (most of whom are nothing more than straight male crossdressers) lumped in together with them.

Jimmy Connors once said that Navratilova couldn’t beat the #100 man in the world rankings. Martina agreed.

Richard Raskind was nationally ranked before he became Renee Richards. He succeeded on the women’s tour to some degree.

More proof that transgenderism trumps both feminism and homosexual rights in the SJW social hierarchy.

Another example was the feminist lesbian kicked off a LBGT##*&@ panel because she kept calling a male rapist a man. He identified as a woman and was moved to a women’s prison, where he raped two more women. The lesbian’s use of the male pronouns was considered WORSE in this discussion than him raping two women in prison.

It’s funny to watch how this thing Moves from gay gay marriage to transgender freak no gender

Here is the plan and simple fact: women do not want men in their bathrooms or their sporting events

It’s not confusing. Women “have babies”, men “make babies”.

She seemed to be saying that if a man has a sex change operation to be a woman, it’s OK for them to compete, but not if they are just SAYING they are a woman, but still have a biologically male body.

The Soviets knew all about that physical advantage. Most of their women entrants to the Olympics were questionably female.
