What a time to be a lesbian

In order to capture what it’s been like for female homosexuals in the era of gendercultism, Tonje Gjevjon (Norway) and Alison Ellis (UK) collected the stories of 19 lesbians from around the world and not only is their book, Kindred in Chaos, an insightful read, it’s also extremely valuable as receipts, which we TERFs never tire of collecting. Here’s one of the women describing what it’s been like watching young butches try to turn themselves into men: “I have seen many handsome butch women destroy their bodies with levels of testosterone their system was never meant to accommodate. These changes cannot be undone. I have watched healthy young women decimate their cardiac systems with these drugs… all in pursuit of something impossible.”Another one writes:“Because (lesbian spaces) don’t exist, it's much harder for lesbians today to accept their homosexuality. Many force themselves to date trans-identifying males and don’t call themselves lesbians because it’s a «TERF dog whistle». The trans movement has been incredibly effective in erasing women and lesbians, making us believe who we are is wrong and needs changing. It is wide spread conversion therapy essentially.”And another one describes the moment the AGP penny dropped: “…I connected one idea after another: cross-dressing serial killers, exhibitionism, true crime, paraphiliacs, autogynephilia, men who harass lesbians with the «I’m a lesbian in a man’s body» joke, men who deliberately try to get lesbians to talk about sex for their sexual titillation, men who harass lesbians by talking about porn... I peaked in rage and disgust… every major gay rights organisation had betrayed homosexual people. It was like the world was collapsing.”You can read all the stories by buying the book hereProfessional lesbianswithanasterisk-ismMeanwhile, if you’re a European taxpayer, you should know that you are paying a lot of money for a big party currently taking place on the Greek island of Lesbos, organised by the professional LGTBIQ+ class to celebrate a group of people called lesbians-with-an-asterisk. The word “lesbian” has a meaning. It means women who are sexually attracted to other women. The Official Meaning of lesbian*, however, has evolved to include straight men who wish they could be lesbians. It also includes women who claim to be men, and women who claim to be something called “non-binary”. I strongly suspect that most of the women working for EL*C (Eurocentralasian Lesbian Community), the ones hosting this week’s island get-together, and who claim to represent European lesbianswithanasterisk, know that it’s all nonsense. But it’s lucrative nonsense. They get more and more money each year from the EU to keep the charade in perpetual motion. “LBQ women”, we’re told, are under attack by the “anti-gender movement” (it me, and proudly so) but what’s really under attack is the ability to name reality. Lesbians, meanwhile, the TERFY ones, are completely unmoored from the money machine, and the parades, and the DEI panels, and the projects, and the boards, etc. And they are monstered. If you’re a young woman who is attracted to women, the current scene — the one that women fought hard to build — is an absolute landmine. If you say you don’t like “girldick”, or that you don’t identify as a woman (but that you just are one) you’ll quickly find yourself on the wrong side of the aggressive autogynephilic men who the EL*C now represent. You can follow the asteriskas and their publicly-funded jolly by going to their Facebook account (link in caption) where I’m sure they’ll be posting about their hard work on Lesbos. It’s not easy stroking your master’s balls in the hot sun all day.Show notes (AI generated) Tonje Gjevjon is a Norwegian lesbian activist and artist and Alison Ellis is a British lesbian commentator. Kindred in Chaos is a collection of first-person testimonies from 19 young lesbians navigating contemporary gender identity politics.The discussion explores lesbian identity, youth alienation, puberty, online trans-identification, institutional LGBT culture, social conformity, detransition narratives, online radicalization, lesbian erasure, activist networks, puberty dysphoria, and the broader political and psychological dynamics surrounding gender identity ideology in Europe. Drawing from personal experience, online activism, lesbian organizing, Scandinavian politics, youth LGBT groups, social media culture, feminism, and gender-critical organizing, the conversation examines why some young lesbians resist trans-identification pathways while others become absorbed into them. The episode also situates Kindred in Chaos within a wider international network of lesbian, feminist, and gender-critical activism across the UK and Europe.Julie BindelTonje Gjevjon references feminist writer and activist Julie Bindel as one of the earliest figures who alerted her to ideological shifts inside progressive politics.🔗 Official Website🔗 X/Twitterhttps://x.com/bindelj🔗 Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_BindelMagdalen Berns🔗 YouTube Archivehttps://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=magdalen+berns🔗 Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalen_BernsMagdalen Berns is repeatedly referenced as a major influence on Alison Ellis.Ellis describes discovering Berns’ videos after searching online for the term “TERF” and realizing:* she was not alone in her views* other lesbians shared similar concerns* factual/direct language resonated more strongly than identity-centered discourseThe episode frames Berns as an important early online gender-critical voice, particularly among young lesbians.Organizations & Activist NetworksLGB Alliance🔗 Official Websitehttps://lgballiance.org.uk/🔗 Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGB_AllianceWomen’s Declaration International🔗 Official Websitehttps://www.womensdeclaration.com/Let Women Speak🔗 Standing For Women / Let Women Speakhttps://www.standingforwomen.com/Norway Legal Gender Recognition🔗 Norwegian Government Informationhttps://www.regjeringen.no/en/topics/families-and-children/equality-and-social-inclusion/innsiktsartikler/legal-gender-recognition/id2481746/Norway’s legal gender recognition framework allows individuals to legally change gender without surgical sterilization requirements.The law became an important reference point in broader European debates surrounding:* self-identification* youth transition* administrative gender policy* legal sex classificationGender-Neutral Pronouns & Inclusive Language🔗 Gender-Neutral Language Overviewhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_language🔗 Norwegian Language / “Hen” Pronoun Contexthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_languageThe discussion references institutional language shifts including:* gender-neutral terminology* pronoun normalization* “parent 1 / parent 2” style frameworks* avoidance of sexed language in some institutional settingsThe speakers frame these changes as examples of top-down ideological restructuring.The European Lesbian Conference (EL*C)🔗 Official Websitehttps://europeanlesbianconference.org/Phalloplasty & MetoidioplastyCleveland Clinic — Phalloplastyhttps://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/procedures/21585-phalloplastyUCSF Gender Carehttps://transcare.ucsf.edu/guidelines/phalloplastyJohns Hopkins — Metoidioplastyhttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/metoidioplasty-for-gender-affirming-careThe speakers reference two forms of gender-affirming genital surgery:PhalloplastyConstruction of a penis using tissue grafts, often from the forearm, thigh, or abdomen.MetoidioplastyA procedure using hormonally enlarged clitoral tissue to construct male genitalia.Róisín Michaux specifically references observing extensive discussion around these surgeries inside online trans-masc communities, particularly in Belgium.The conversation frames breast removal as a central fixation among many young female transitioners.Belgium & European Gender ClinicsGhent University Hospital Gender Teamhttps://www.uzgent.be/patient/zoek-een-arts-of-dienst/centrum-voor-seksuologie-en-genderGhent University Hospital is one of Europe’s most recognized gender clinics and research centers.
