Violence Against Lesbians - submission to UN IE SOGI

The UN's Independent Expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI is planning a report on violence against lesbians. But he includes heterosexual men who claim to be women in his definition of "lesbian". This nonsensical adherence to transgender ideology means that, yet again, men are being centred and women sidelined. Lesbian Persistence and Lesbian Labour wrote a paper which has been submitted by a UK coalition of lesbian organisations. Our response critiques the approach and explains how transgenderism actively harms lesbians, states why including men in the category of 'lesbian' cannot lead to lesbian-focused solutions, and asks the IE to change the basis of his proposed report.
