`My name is Julie Helgesen. I run Lesbians and the Nine Wolves, an online community for lesbians from around the world.
In the nineties, I was a DJ at a lesbian bar in Oslo. The lines were long when I played. A newspaper even called me the "trans queen of Oslo" — but that was about the music genre, not my identity.
Today, laws that let men identify as lesbians make a mockery of our sex-based rights. Same-sex attraction is a biological reality, not a personality trait. Accepting men as lesbians doesn't protect us — it erases us.
I can't go back to Oslo and find that lesbian club anymore, that home away from home. So I built one online.
I see my sisters scared to speak up. Women thrown out of groups for simply wanting single-sex spaces. Young lesbians being told they're "born in the wrong body" instead of being allowed to be butch or tomboy.
This isn't progress — it's queer homophobia. It attacks the very foundation of gay and lesbian rights.
Save the tomboys. Thank you for standing up.`
Exactly.
As a lesbian, I’ve watched “inclusion” turn into the expectation that I must accept male bodies in my dating pool and in my spaces.
Claiming males can be lesbians doesn’t smash the patriarchy — it hands men access to women’s bodies and demands we call it liberation. Same-sex rights for women are being sacrificed on the altar of male feelings.
We are at a point in time where some are claiming that we can eradicate patriarchy by recognizing that some women have penises. Think about that for a second.
Females have around 60% of the upper body strength of equally trained males
These UK ball sports ignore this and allow males to self-ID into all women & girls’ teams
It speaks volumes about these organisations; denying safe and fair sport to all of their female membership 1/
@RoundersEngland
No, you’re just showing how entitled and spoiled you are.
Being a Norwegian conservative does not take away my right to express myself. My opinions still matter. And stop assuming I’m a Christian.
I’d rather side with reality than with people who call lesbians bigots for not wanting dick. And I’d rather be called ‘right-wing’ than pretend men can be lesbians.
We’re all pointing at the problem.
We can all see the misogyny of letting men and boys with identity issues into the female category.
Do you see?

I am a lesbian.
Lesbian means same-sex attracted — not “whatever a man claims to be today.”
Watching males invade our spaces and call themselves lesbians is an insult.
I got mass-reported on Facebook just for saying the obvious: lesbian means same-sex.
TRAs: We're coming into your spaces!
Women: No.
TRAs: You can't stop us! Move out of the way!
Women: NO.
TRA's: Why are you making this into such a big issue. GET OUT OF OUR WAY.
Women: No. Go away.
TRA's: Stop making this into an issue! GET OUT OF THE WAY OR WE'LL KILL YOU!
What do you mean by “trans men”?
Do you mean biological women who identify as men? I don’t speak Woke ideology.
If you’re asking whether I’d date a woman, the answer is yes.
If you’re asking whether I’d date a man who claims to be a woman, the answer is no.Clarify your question using normal language.
Strongly agree.
This was never about denying anyone exists. It’s about whether women still get sex-based spaces and rights.
“Inclusion” that erases sex-based protections isn’t inclusion — it’s the end of women’s rights.
They call it inclusion. Women call it losing sex-based protections. This debate was never about whether trans people exist. It’s about whether sex-based rights should become mixed-sex rights.
Two brave girls & some t-shirts have sparked a nationwide discussion and forced the @WNBA to answer whether they will defend the very premise their own league is built on.
Well done, girls. 💪
The left will tell you the sex test being described is a genital inspection. That's a lie, of course. It's a simple cheek swab.
Cheap, effective, non-invasive. Majority of elite female athletes support this.
🚨 BREAKING: Nick Shirley actually went to Spain to show the world what EXACTLY is happening
“Here is the truth from Ceuta, Spain: 60,000+ migrants stormed the small town”
EXPOSE IT ALL NICK 🔥
Muslim Invaders in Ceuta are now BURNING the Countryside as they Continue TAKE OVER the Streets.
This is total chaos and collapse of a country.
It looks like a literal zombie apocalypse.
BOOM 💥
Trans activists thought they could intimidate Sophie Cunningham at the Indiana Fever game last night‼️
They flooded the stands with Trans flags and booed loudly when Sophie took the court.
Some even started making out as a form of protest against her comments about not wanting men in women’s sports.
However Sophie was completely unbothered.
She knocked down three 3 pointers and helped her team extend their historic 100+ point streak.
This is the Fever’s 5th 100+ point game in a row.
Which is the longest 100+ point game streak in WNBA history.
Needless to say that now the haters are even more upset than they were before the game.
I would say that they had zero impact but I believe they actually inspired Sophie and Caitlin to ball even harder.
