Background and overview
•Complaints by MΰCF trans against lesbian rights are occurring in Australia and across the world and consume lesbian energy and resources.
•This paper is presented
–from the heart space where women born female and raised as girls have valid human rights to that gender identity and
–in search of a positive way forward as allies of transpeople
–without relinquishing lesbian gender identity rights.
•We define "lesbian" as a woman, who was identified at birth as female and who was raised as a female and who is recognised as a lesbian by a lesbian community.
•This paper will raise the following questions
–Do lesbians have valid gender identity rights to their woman born female (WBF) identity?
–How have the Sappho’s Party women organised locally, nationally and internationally to protect lesbians rights to meet?
–How can WBF preserve gender identity rights.
MCF = Male to constructed female as per Janice Raymond Transexual Empire 1979
