an Culture for Trans Femme”. Remember: “trans femmes” are male. The app focuses entirely on the validation of the “trans femmes”, without any acknowledgment that other people — you know, women — may be involved….
This is essentially an invasion manual. It shamelessly encourages men who self-define as lesbians to “claim their space” in the lesbian community.
Four of the six-strong VODA team are also BACP members. Their involvement in this app is unclear, but they have certainly not distanced themselves from it. The app seems to be a profound breach of the BACP’s Ethical Framework (2018)….
The message promoted by the VODA app — and by “LGBTQ+” and former human rights organisations — is that “male lesbians” are victims to be coddled while the rights of actual lesbians don’t matter. I’m sick of this upside-down logic. People born male cannot be lesbian and should not be encouraged to invade lesbian spaces. To see a therapists’ organisation cheering on this violation demonstrates that the “cotton ceiling” discourse is alive and well.
I hope the BACP will be receiving a strongly-worded complaint about this grotesque app, which encourages men to trample on lesbians’ right to dignity and to their right of association.
You think a battle's been won, and…zonk…up it pops again. Playing whack-a-mole with the trans activists.
