Dykes on Bikes have spoken well, bless them. The organisers of ‘Lesbians Born Female’ seem to forget lesbian folks can come from a range of gender identities (transgender, nonbinary, etc — gender is a spectrum and not something linear; i can say as a nonbinary lesbian) and some of us simply aren’t cisgender, plus, our trans sisters and siblings have been a pillar in our communities for many years.

The exclusion of trans women and bisexual women is simply rooted in transphobia and biphobia and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Yes a big THANK YOU to Dykes on Bikes as they are amazing, and I am glad they stand up for trans people as over all inclusion. Keep protecting us when others don’t.

THANK YOU.

The organisers of “Lesbians Born Female” seem to forget that trans women feel that they were born female! It appears that how our brains are wired determines how we identify, rather than our genitalia. It’s a poorly understood mechanism but millions of trans women can’t be wrong.

The rise of the ‘LGB without the T’ movement is alarming. They are using the same fear-mongering and hate-filled rhetoric that has been used against lesbians and gay people. Dykes on Bikes are legends and I’m grateful to them and the other signatories for standing up against bigotry and showing that we are stronger together.

The Dykes on Bikes are my heroes. I love you ladies so much and cannot say how much your support, advocacy and allyship mean to me and my trans siblings. Thank you.
