Official homophobia

From the Glinner:

From the White House "readout", April 27th:

Yesterday, in celebration of Lesbian Day of Visibility, the White House hosted a roundtable conversation with trailblazing lesbian and LGBTQI+ senior leaders from the White House and the broader Biden-Harris Administration. The roundtable included lesbian and queer advocates, community leaders, leaders across the federal government, several of whom are the first out lesbians to hold their position, including: Ambassador Chantale Wong, Director of the Asian Development Bank, who is the first out lesbian to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate to an ambassador post; Admiral Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health, who is a lesbian and the first openly transgender woman to achieve the rank the four-star admiral in any of the country’s uniformed services...

Both Chantale Wong and Rachel Levine are heterosexual men. Men, admittedly, who've chosen to present themselves as women, but men nevertheless. So, by definition, not lesbians.

It can't be long before men take over completely. Lesbian women (once upon a time a tautology) can be excluded on the grounds that, unwilling to have sexual relations with men (ie lesbians with a penis), they're transphobic and must therefore be ignored and reviled.

I think it's "Charlotte Clymer" in the blue suit jacket and the strapping white man jawline on center stage in that photo, not Chantale Wong. Wong's face is not even shown. Other than that, excellent post. The feminists have been whining about The patriarchy nonstop for decades, but when a actual patriarchy asserts itself, most of them roll over.
