The hashtag #CisWithTheT trended on Twitter after an article from the BBC titled “We’re Being Pressured Into Sex By Some Trans Women” went live.
The article written by Caroline Lowbridge appeared to be based on a survey of 80 women taken by an anti-trans lesbian feminist activist group.
The article claims lesbians are being pressured to date or have sexual relationships with trans women and are afraid to speak out about it because of fear of being called “transphobic.”
“Is a lesbian transphobic if she does not want to have sex with trans women?” the article asked. “Some lesbians say they are increasingly being pressured and coerced into accepting trans women as partners – then shunned and even threatened for speaking out,” Lowbridge continued.
Twitter users immediately criticized the article and debunked its findings, with a majority of cis women speaking out on the social media platform to support trans inclusivity.
