I'm revolted at the notion of men demanding to be called lesbians. Disgusting misogny. A perverse and deeply unfunny joke.

Ditto for all of womankind. And these delusionists/illusionists are at the seat of power everywhere.As if all power in the hands of men anyway hasn’t been bad enough already everywhere but particularly for nature, women and children ie the majority of the population getting least of resources or say on anything.

Me too. Who are you arguing with now?

Eye roll. Projection. It's not about you. I was doing what one normally does, responding to the subject matter, as was the other reply to me. Stop being insulting, amend yoir tone and remember you're not on Twitter now.

"Amend yoir tone?" Oh, fuck off. This isn't twitter, you insulting ass.

I don't usually watch videos, tbh, but I'm glad I watched this one.

"If trans identified men would stop trying to get into women's spaces and sports it would be amazing how fast everyone would stop caring about them being transgender men". THIS.

I have to be honest, I don't even usually listen to PodCcasts, though I make them :D But I realise that's just me, I'm in the minority. I just like transcripts/articles, I put it down to my own poor attention span, trained by years of internet clicking.

Skylar makes some good points and comes across well. Nice bike too :)

Absolutely AGREE I have been saying this for years. No decent men wants within 100 yards of a woman's toilet, shelter or other spaces. It's easy to identify predators, they're the ones trying to get access to women and children. Maybe not all men but definitely THOSE men.

And yeah, TERF just means believing in biological factual reality and transphobic seems to means being rational and actually breathing in and out.

Hope to see the follow up video that was promised. Oh, I donated to the LGB Alliance a while back, it's a damn shame what is being done to homosexual rights since the trans ologists started feeding off of their groups. It's the only time in my life I've really wished I was wealthy, there are so many worthy causes to donate to and only limited funds.

And yeah, women can say No. We need to keep saying it until they listen.

Imagine coming out two years ago and impugning people who have been out and fighting since you were born. That's what Skylar did to me. I hope that what she's doing isn't just another grift. Stabbing your supporters in the back isn't a great look. Why does she support WoLF who collaborates with dedicated homophobes?

Expand full comment

Oh Fred, do stop attacking lesbians. It is not a good look. I respect all of the work done over the years. My voice is just as important, no matter when I came out. Stop trying to silence lesbians. Leave us alone if you disagree. I am not attacking you. Do stop attacking me.

I had never heard of either if you so just did a quick search to find your Twitter handle and then a twittersearch GoddessEnergyXX Fred. This revealed him slagging you off and blocking you and you politely defending yourself. He was raging that you liked and Rtd a tweet that angered him.

I also saw you say, after that, " I still respect Fred as an LGB leader. His voice is important."

Anyone can do the same search.

If he wants to block you, that's fine. It does seem odd to follow you onto other mediums to get angry at you again though. And derailing in a very male fashion.

Anyway, best of luck to you Skylar, thanks for the contribution.

I should have added this was revealed in screenshots, as his account appears to be suspended. Thanks also fro the heads up on Wolf, I will check them out.

Expand full comment

No doubt that you'll find a homophobic group like WoLF right up your alley. My account was suspended because of Sky's misandrist attacks and homophobic likes, no doubt also up your alley.

Expand full comment

That's not even the half of what happened. I won't be explaining it to you. What contribution has Sky ever made other than on her own behalf? I didn't follow her. She popped up in my email. If you don't what you're talking about, except for snide male jabs, why don't you stay out of this, or are you just here for the pile on? Disagreement with bigotry like Sky's is not abusive. Standing up to misandrist abuse is not abusive.

Fred, I wish you and her could meet and privately come to an understanding. It's heartbreaking to see this play out publicly.

Expand full comment

I agree. I am moving on. Fred is an LGB icon, whom I respect. We disagreed. I am moving on and hoping that he will also.

Expand full comment

You've conducted yourself with a great deal of dignity in the face of such illogical rage.

I've never seen your account before today, or heard of you, or if I have I haven't recalled your name. it's brave of you to put yourself out there with no anonymity. There will be people who hate you for being female, being lesbian and being in support of woman's human rights, so you've got the trifecta going on. Good luck, stay safe out there!

No, you're not. You've lied before and you wouldn't have stabbed me in the back if you did respect me. I don't collaborate with homophobes; you do. I don't forgive and I don't forget.

It's feckin weird and childish to those of us who are new to it.

Skylar bring your “glock”. Fred clearly is a “silencer” 😂

I do not own a gun. Just sayin.😁 😆

That's unlikely to happen. Sky and her pals tried to pile onto me on Twitter and I don't forgive or forget that kind of betrayal. Now her ignorant minions are running to her aid here with the usual misandrist claptrap meant to shut men down and doing the same sort of bullshit that they did on Twitter. Their charges against me are insane. Sky and her friends collaborate with homophobes, another thing that I don't forgive or forget. They're blindly supporting her without knowing the facts. She's a fraud.

Either you're a liar, so assume the same of others or you're being deliberately insulting for some odd reason.

As you've been told, I've never heard of either of you before now and despite your rancidly rude tone and attempt to derail, I did you the courtesy of a Twitter search first.

You've used the same tactic of ad hominem attacks and deliberately arguing in bad faith men seem to rely on when they have no argument.

She didn't have to do a thing. Your own behaviour condemns you. You appear foolish enraged and hostile to women.

This will be my last response to you as nothing you've said is relevant to the article and you're simply being insulting for no reason.

Expand full comment

Because you personally dislike her, have attempted to derail and make this article about yourself and are using ad homs to insult her and another woman. If I see something by you come up in my email I'll either not click the link or respond to the article and the discussion, not the person. If you had genuine issues you have done yourself no favours here. She has the right to disagree with you without you resorting to personal attacks. Women get enough of that on every other forum.

Expand full comment

When have I attacked lesbians as lesbians? When have I attempted to silence you? You don't get to tell anyone how they might disagree with your lies. Since your initial repeat attacks with the homophobic WoLF pack, you have subsequently attacked me on your TL, liar. Stop attacking me and stop supporting homophobes. You've dropped your misandrist veil.

Expand full comment

You are trying to silencing my voice here, Fred. Why? I respect you greatly. I do not respect your efforts to silence lesbians. Are you ok? This does not feel like the Fred Sargeant that I know and respect. Please stop attacking me for disagreeing with your stance on Trans military. You are acting like another abusive man......

Expand full comment

I’m a member of Wolf and not a homophobe. I don’t think you understand misogyny or the oppression of women and very real threats we face daily Fred. Don’t attack women especially one that’s just done a nice piece personally I enjoyed. What are you on with all the fragile male ego stuff to denigrate or speak down to a women like this, here?

Expand full comment

Yes, it must be a culture shock to spend all your time on Twitter where shrieking abuse at women is so normalised to enter a site where people are expected to be respectful if one another EVEN IF tthey're women. Quite a concept.

Expand full comment

I didn’t say I know you nor do I live in the US I’m responding as a woman seeing red flags and irrelevancies all over your comments against Skylar. None of which is relevant to her piece. Wolf centres women does that bother you? As you say you don’t know me but seemingly have no problem aggressively pigeonholing me also. This is exactly mens problem when they aren’t centred in all things and their needs pandered to and prioritised and why we need our own spaces, legal and representation you're sound so spoilt you don’t even see it and your own bullying and gaslighting of women RIGHT HERE. What a hero. I suggest it is you that’s being “performative” Fred as in performing like a toddler.

Expand full comment

Wolf looks interesting, though it seems to be in the USA and I'm not. I'll have a read through their site and then hit them up with a donation, always happy to donate to fact based organisations supporting women's human rights :) Reading their front page I thought to myself, I wsh we didn't have to call ourself rad fems. I mean, we're just "actual" feminists, after all. Sigh.

You might want to hold onto your money for a bit. I've been working on a piece regarding WoLF's legal ties to one of the very worst homophobic groups in the US, Focus on the Family. Although that probably won't be a problem for you, will it?

Expand full comment

Aren't you clever? WoLF allies with some of the worst homophobes in the US. Why doesn't that bother you, misandrist?

Expand full comment

Oh, goody! Another ineffectual performative activist. You don't know me and you don't know what I know. I do know that as a member of WoLF you are a collaborator with one of the most homophobic organizations in the US, Focus on the Family. Don't think that you'll intimidate me as Sky tried to by likewise suggesting that I have a fragile male ego. I'm not intimidated by your misandrist cliches. You and Sky have done nothing meaningful except toot your own horns. Sky didn't have the integrity to return my donation when she was asked after initiating the attack on my character and record. She, like you, has nothing BTW.

You entered into this without doing your own homework. I'm not your teacher. Next time, know what you're talking about before spouting ofg.
