Every Saturday, QueerAF helps you understand the queer headlines and stay on top of the latest LGBTQIA+ content - all while we support queer creatives. This week, it's written by Matilda Davies, while Jamie takes a well-deserved break, and another queer creative as usual.
💬 This week:
- Michael Knowles. A US political commentator called for the eradication of ‘transgenderism’ - why has it become a debate about language?
- Ukraine. Alongside a year of war, The tide might finally be turning for LGBTQIA+ rights in Ukraine.
- Queer family. The concept of family comes with a range of hetero, cis and patriarchal expectations. Queer people can subvert that, Fran Di Fazio writes.
Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Calling for the eradication of ‘transgenderism’ is a threat - so why is it up for debate?
TL;DR: The Lesbian Project was set up by gender-critical activists Julie Bindel and Kathleen Stock. Though the project is about lesbians, much of the rhetoric is anti-LGBTQIA+. It looks to create a division between lesbians and the wider community.
