How we can act for lesbian survival
The widespread adoption of irrational gender identity ideology is robbing lesbians and all women of our identity, rights and culture. Many individuals and organisations in Australia (eg, CoAL, LGB Alliance Australia, AF4WR, WRNA, AAWAA) and others such as the global WDI are working hard to counter this insidious force.
It began from the desires of a small number of ‘transexual’ men with a sexual fetish. Over the past 50 years it has drawn in many others: governments (all federal, state and local governments in Australia); our health and ethics organisations that are based on the notion of human rights; health professionals who stand to profit financially and profesiomally. It is exploiting emotionally vulnerable individuals, sensitive to patriarchal and homophobic pressures to conform. It has parasitised LGB liberation movements, where TQ ‘rights’ have become supreme and the very definition of lesbian and woman has been rendered meaningless. CoAL asserts that no lesbian has a penis; a woman is an adult human female.
All this is situated within the context of wider political and social changes that are wreaking massive and irrational losses and damage to our very planet that birthed and feeds us.
In June 2025, Julian Cribb, an experienced and valued science journalist in Australia, has written another call for us all to save our precious planet and act to avert the collapse of humanity, societies, civilisation. CoAL poins out that this, of course, includes lesbians.
It’s very hard to read about such threats but, indeed, we must read and act if we value our future and the future of those who may (or may not) come after us.
To give us hope for the environment, Cribb directs us to three organisations and their treaties, that are working to bring about a better future:
- The Earth Charter Initiative group: The Earth Charter
- The Council for the Human Future: The Earth System Treaty
- The UN: Sustainable Development Goals
Now is the time for us all to act if we have not already started.
