Stop the Erasure of Lesbians and Women


Stop the Erasure of Lesbians and Women
The Issue
Lesbians and women at Johns Hopkins University are being defined in official documents as “non-men.”
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Gender & Sexuality Resources
“ Lesbian [sexual orientation]: A non-man attracted to non-men.
While past definitions refer to 'lesbian' as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label.
“Gay Man: A man who is emotionally, romantically, sexually, affectionately, or relationally attracted to other men, or who identifies as a member of the gay community.
This erasure of lesbians and women is misogynistic and violates the human rights of females.
Tell Johns Hopkins to stop this sexist definition.
