2/26/2021 if we cannot stand by our lesbian sisters then we cannot call ourselves feministsRead Now I have been Labour member and trade unionist for 20 years from a long line of socialist women. I took part in marches in support of my lesbian sisters and am clinging in by my fingernails having become increasingly conerned by the treatment of Rosie Duffield and the abject failure of the party leadership to stand up for women's sex based rights. This is especially important in a world where online pornography is freely available and frankly, the cotton ceiling arguments, is the most dreadful male entitlement I have seen for a long time.I worry for young autistic and lesbian women caught up in fashionable medicalisation of complex issues as Tennessee Williams' sister was lobotimised during another era when problem women were subjected to irreversible treatments. I have found Keira Bell inspiring and Dr Jane Clare Jones' analysis insightful. Above all, if we cannot stand by our lesbian sisters then we cannot call ourselves feminists - I choose Julie Bindel, Beverly Jackson and many others holding the line against this new homphobia.
