Woolworths SA refuses to back down from supporting Pride Month

Men aren't typically lesbians, they're usually straight. But I am not the Queer Police, so...

Men are sometimes not men either.

Wikipedia is a slightly better source for information than the bible LMAO

Slightly?

Men are sometimes not men either.

In what way?

You'd better ask them/they/her

You're asking one.

It's in the name

"Smythe initially used TERF to refer to a particular type of feminist whom she characterized as "unwilling to recognise trans women as sisters"

How about... No.

So, when they put their pinkies up and swear that transwomen are women, they are free to reject any lesbian transwoman?

The same you aren't into men or whatever, the same way people are allowed to have preferences. Not everyone is into trans people and that's fine.

So people are free to say that trans women are not really women, in the conventional sense?

Yeah that's what the "trans" in "trans women" indicates. That's not a controversial opinion in any circle.

No. Just because you aren't attracted to blonde women for example, doesn't mean they aren't women.

The genital region is irrelevant?

You know these pride campaigns are set by some marketing teams at corporate head offices? There's no LGBTQ board meeting where they get together and figure out how to infiltrate Woolworths and spread a "toxic" pride campaign.

Interesting. But how is that relevant as a reply?

Your opposition to the Woolworths pride campaign stems from you believing in the existence of a toxic LGBTQ group pushing an agenda. My reply explains why this is not the case.

How is anything people say on this thread that stems from emotional responses, relevant or necessary as replies?

Thank goodness you didn't use natural red heads of the XX humanoid species. Some would argue with you - I choose to differ from them.

Let's talk about red heads!

The LGBTQ+ crowd does push an agenda.
Woolies supports any "the current thing" that may put money in their bank account, it's an actuarial exercise.

Correct. It is just about money, but so is every advertising campaign. So what's your problem with this particular Woolworths campaign?
