Includes a Q&A session with:

Penny Mordant
Maria Miller
Dawn Butler
Sal Brinton
Sophie Walker
Amelia Womack
Alison Thewliss

Do you know if this will be uploaded after the live stream?

not sure, I've only just seen it's happening.

I think I tweeted them this morning to ask if trans women were included. They replied or someone did, "yes, it absolutely does". Not surprising, but a little disappointing given the number of women in Parliament.

Just seen this:
"Keep a look out for bonus on demand videos filmed today by @ NarrowcastMedia - we should have them online in the next day or so"

Thanks so much R0wantrees

Thanks Rowan. Missed seeing it because I don't follow the Fawcett Society after it caved completely. What a missed opportunity.

There was some interesting and important discussions.
Deinintely worth watching the videos when uploaded. I was listening whilst busy.

I lost my wifi connection towards the end. Hopefully they will upload the full Q&As. I gather from twitter responses that a question had been asked specifically about trans women during my wifi fail.

There was an afternoon session too which had also been live-streamed.

How shit is this

Have you seen Dr Em's thread re GI?

I was there. It was a bloody marvellous event, with Stella Creasey, Jess Philips, Shaista Gohir, Sophie Walker, Anne Jenkin and moar excellent women.

The woman in the audience asked something like "you could end up in a situation where half parliament were men and half parliament were Transwomen and would that be an OK outcome?". Sal Brinton of lib dems said (I am paraphrasing) " to the question if half parliament were men and half Transwomen, then yes absolutely happy, Transwomen are women"

Maria Miller said that transwomen experienced terrible suffering, and transwomen were legally women. And the green party deputy leader Amelia Womack said transwomen are women. And then one of the organisers popped up to say that transwomen were women. And there was a scattering of applause after each.

I was interested that Dawn Butler said summat like "It's really important we have a transwoman in parliament as they are underrepresented", and there was not applause (FWIW I totally agree with her).

Also David Lewis (of woman Wednesdays) was there, sitting at the edge with SELF DEFINED WOMAN on his badge.

So- tremendous event, great to meet lots of super women. But no dissent allowed on gender ID.

Am going to see if live stream is still up...

Fuck those women

The ones saying 50 25 25 is good idiots

Also David Lewis (of woman Wednesdays) was there

So thoughtful for them to have held it on an Wednesday

floorplan I think it was 50:50, but I am going to be journalistic and write a transcript of the live stream. Gimme a mo

men and would that be an OK outcome?". Sal Brinton of lib dems said (I am paraphrasing) " to the question if half parliament were men and half Transwomen, then yes absolutely happy, Transwomen are women

What?

Fuck those women.

Fuck them and all the men who are going along with it for what they are doing to my daughter's future. Fuck them all.

Male Rights Activists come in many guises. This is our headscarf movement.

Women lost in 1979. Seems unthinkable. And don't forget Saudi Arabia's human rights role at the UN. We are nothing to most men.

They need to watch this

Fuckers. Stupid fuckers.

How come the people who garner all the sympathy are the ones who threaten to burn us alive? What the fuck happened?
