A lesbian has been cancelled and forced out of the lgbt community by a legion of mentally ill people who are upset with her not accepting lady dick. I for one believe men, women and weirdos have the right to their own sexual preferences. Where do our resident pardians stand on this issue?
https://4w.pub/lesbian-youtuber-arielle-scarcella-on-why-shes-leaving-the-left/Scarcella, who has been an avid supporter of LGBT rights, has been accused of being “transphobic” and a “TERF” for her beliefs. A lesbian herself, she believes that lesbians don’t like dick and that it’s not transphobic for lesbians to express their sexual orientation. She also believes that the gender identity movement has gone too far. She cites examples such as a list of 97 genders (we were able to find 117), and male sex offenders being housed in women’s prisons.
“I’ve been called transphobic and I’ve been called a TERF for about five years, since about 2013 when I started making trans-related content,” she said in the interview with Pool.
Although she has had many trans people on her channel, is willing to use preferred pronouns (“even for people I don’t like”), and actively supports trans rights, this was not enough.
In 2018, Scarcella released a video titled, “Dear Trans Women, Stop Pushing “Girl Dick” On Lesbians.” In the video, she criticizes the idea that homosexual people have “sexual preferences” or “genital hangups” that they can simply “get over”. She calls the concept “homophobic and sexist” and states, “You know damn well this would never be targeting straight cis men.” This video, among others, has been cited as a reason that Scarcella is a “TERF”, a slur used against women, especially lesbians, who recognize the reality of biological sex.
When Scarcella was announced as a speaker at Sydney Gay Mardi Gras, a massive pride event, the organizers were quickly met with backlash. A petitionlaunched by drag queen Johnny Valkyrie called for her to be removed from the Les-Talk event on women’s sexuality and replaced by “an Australian queer women [sic] who does not engage in transphobia; preferably someone of intersectionality.”
Valkyrie is best known for hosting a Drag Queen story hour at the Brisbane Library. The event faced peaceful protests from a local university conservative group, led by 21-year-old Wilson Gavin, a gay student. Following the protest, members of the group, including Gavin, were doxxed, harassed, and bullied online. Gavin tragically died by suicide the next day. Valkyrie used the opportunity to ask for money.
While the Les-Talk event is still scheduledfor February 27th, it was removed from the Sydney Mardi Gras lineup. “This was the only lesbian-centric event in all of Mardi Gras,” said Scarcella, “and now it’s not even there.” The deplatforming, erasure, and disrespect of lesbians in the LGBT community has been a major point of contention for Scarcella.
The cancellation has had a major impact on Scarcella. In an interview with 4W, she stated, “I’ve lost followers, recently had a company let me go, lost friends. I have had a few threats, but more just harassment and name-calling more than anything else.”
