LGB ErasureYour average LGBT+ organisations

I saw today Stonewall today mocking lesbians in their post on Twitter, and that made me angry, so I decided to make this post here.

Their post: https://twitter.com/stonewalluk/status/1381260798727716866

Stonewall, lesbophobic Diva (with their lesbian erasure with "queer women" instead of "lesbians" and "lesbians with penises") and GLAAD are promoting "Lesbian visibility week" - while being extremely hypocrytical.

Why Hyporcrytical? Lets see their reports and their fundings.

Stonewall last report:

Lesbians mentioned 3 times, one in "LGBTQ" fully written, one in conjunction with "trans women", and just 1 mentioned on themselves: https://i.imgur.com/YpcWng9.png

Gay men mentioned twice, one of which is in acronym "LGBTQ" written fully: https://i.imgur.com/AeiHb5G.png

Bisexual mentioned once: https://i.imgur.com/A5J2qEk.png

"Bi" mentioned three times, one is in "LGBTQ" fully writen: https://i.imgur.com/axmW3qB.png

So bisexual people mentioned 4 in total.

Transgender people mentioned 22 times (there "trans " with spacebar, so "transfer" not get into count") - one in "LGBTQ" fully written.

Queer mentioned zero times (wow!).

So total if remove LGBTQ fully mentions in latest yearly report of Stonewall: Lesbians 1 times, "trans lesbians" 1 time, gay men 1 time, bisexual 3 times, trans people 21 times.

GLAAD 2020 annual report:

Lesbians mentioned just twice, but both times as "LGBTQ" written fully, so total mentions - zero: https://i.imgur.com/d8CThZ7.png & https://i.imgur.com/CMlD6Mz.png

Gay men mentioned 7 times, two times as "LGBTQ" written fully: https://i.imgur.com/i1h1Ruw.png

Bisexual mentioned 8 times, same 2 times as part of "LGBTQ" written fully: https://i.imgur.com/VTL7v5q.png

Just "Bi" mentioned not a single time.

"Trans people", "trans man", "trans daughter" and similar mentioned 18 times: https://i.imgur.com/2FyciqH.png

Transgender mentioned 30 times, 2 times as part of "LGBTQ" written fully: https://i.imgur.com/L3BjVxx.png

So total for trans people 48 times, 2 as part of "LGBTQ".

Queer mentioned 5 times, 2 as part of fully written "LGBTQ": https://i.imgur.com/Sn4AU4C.png

So total for GLAAD without twice acronym "LGBTQ" written fully we have: lesbians 0 times, gay men 5 times, bisexual 6 times, trans people 46 times, queer 3 times.

TOTAL for both: Lesbians - 1 times, trans lesbians 1 times, gay men 6 times, bisexual people 9 times, transgender people 67 times, "queer" 3 times.

AND THEN those organisations have a nerve to say about "Lets have Lesbian visibility week"? Are they trolling? It is literally mocking.

Maybe start from YOURSELVES, f***ing Stonewall?!

Edit:

A bit more links.

Last Stonewall report: Very long link, so made it like text

GLAAD 2020 annual report: https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/AnnualReport_2020.pdf

Additional about hypocrisy and mocking: GLAAD is acronym for "Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation", yet they mentioned lesbians ZERO times.

You're wonderful. I am never associating with those LGB erasing pos.

I'm surprised bisexual was mentioned more than gay or lesbian. I wonder if this is because, in their view, bisexual is the "correct" sexuality, since they think bi people have "no excuse" to exclude trans people...

Well, there few times "lesbian and bisexual women" and "gay and bisexual men". So I suppose more mentions because there bi men and women, so it is twice as much.

Interesting that neither pansexuality nor asexuality were mentioned. Even though Stonewall last few montsh all about "asexual people are so repressed". But Stonewall reports are from June to June, so maybe in next report they will be mentioned?

Shut them down. Shut them all down unless you want all of our hard earned gains to be reversed.

These orgs have NO BUSINESS representing ANYONE.

The problem is, these organizations now get regular contributions from big corporations that simply hand them the money with little oversight of their mission, so these LGBTQ+ orgs are no longer beholden to the constituencies they claim to represent. The real point of these organizations is to continue to support a small class of professional activists, so they feel they need to be seen on "the cutting edge," and transgender is now that cutting edge.

I'm old enough to remember when Gay & Lesbian organizations were grassroots and were supported by donations from lesbians and gay men. Back then, we had control because we could withhold our contributions. At present, they don't care about what we think.

Just like LGB Alliance today.

And lesbians were underground - just like we are nowadays again.

Full circle of homophobia, we are back in 60-70s.

Did you look at the schedule for that Stonewall/Diva event? Most of them have nothing to do with being a lesbian. I'm curious how many more times queer is mentioned than lesbian. There's a "women inclusion in sports" panel, which in sure will be entirely about transwomen. There's even a panel about intersex...

It's lovely to see all of the comments calling out Stonewall. Oh, and they even tagged the wrong Twitter handle. 😂

Thought that tweet needed a comprehensive archive and archive.today and the Wayback Machine only ever capture the first few, so here's a manual archive of the entire thing as it appeared to me a few minutes ago:

They're getting ratio-ed nice and hard, which is easier to see in the full archive. Not that they care.

Just for fun I decided to see if archive.today would grab that and it did get most of it, but the imgur link is the only complete one:
