Sadly Spain is providing ample evidence of why this is all a terrible idea.

Spain’s ‘trans equality’ law is a predator’s charter

Gender self-ID has eviscerated women’s rights.

I didn’t mention the Tories. I merely said culture wars are political.

Biological sex based rights are not culture wars.

What are the Tories doing to “improve things”?

Binglebong · 01/04/2024 17:42

I think all of the parties are shit shows. Tories have at least woken up to this being a bad idea/bad politics, while Labour etc all still haven't. And yes, it happened on the tories watch but they are now trying to improve things. I really hope someone else will wake up though as I REALLY don't want to vote for them.

You’re on the wrong thread. @BIossomtoes @GoodAfternoonGoodEveningAndGoodnight
whatever axe you’ve got to grind with the tories. That’s not what this thread is about. Much as you are trying to make it so.

i see you have totally ignored the screen shots above. About horrific cases where males have abused females amongst other things.

But double down, you’re right there’s no way out for anyone enabling predatory males.

On the wrong thread
Who are you, the Thread Police?! 🙄😂
"That's not what this thread is about"
Er, it's a thread about the leaders of this country?;
It's right there in the title.
Are you getting this one mixed up with one about a car parking space or what you're having for your Easter dinner or something?!

Of course it’s about politics. It’s all about politics and stirring up culture wars and division.

Yep
Whether it's migrants "coming over on boats"
"Trans people taking over women"

Or whatever else is "bogeyman" of the week, fucking sick of all this trying to pit people against each other instead of sorting stuff out.

Scottish hate crime law brought in today - could see people arrested for using a transgender person's wrong pronouns. But nothing about protecting women and girls from misogyny.

That's because Misogyny is not a Hate Crime. The Tories refused to make it one.

They really hate women.

No. It’s about protecting females. But you will never see that, or you don’t want to. But this is old well trodden ground by now. We’re going round in circles.

Predatory and or ambitious males. Appropriating and abusing females. How anyone can enable this, is mind blowing.

It was never about politics. It is about women’s and children’s rights. As a mother of girls especially, I want women’s and children’s sex based rights to be protected. That’s the beginning and the end of it.

Same.

Thirded.

I wonder what they'll come up with next to try and trick us silly little wimmin. Maybe free lipsticks for us. Or a pretty new hairdo.

😂🙈 Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that lots of ex Labour supporters still want to vote Labour but never ever will again whilst Labour state women have penises. Alas the remaining Labour supporters are so transfixed by the tories all they can see is that if people are saying Labour are a big women hating turd, then they must like the tories. That’s the myopic vision. But never mind. It’s been said time and time again so I doubt anything will change now.

all of the posts by remaining Labour supporters on these threads, have only served to convince me even more, that voting Labour at this time is a terrible idea

Good for you, I usually vote Labour but am more of a floating voter really - the more you post the more I'm convinced that Labour is definitely the better option.
I want a fresh new start. Not more of the same shit and culture wars.

Same. I just want to see the back of the current apology for a government. The last few years have felt like an endurance test. It’s exhausting.

As a pp has said this has happened all over the world. It’s not a Tory invention but that doesn’t suit your narrative does it.

While it's not a Tory invention, the Tories have pushed it and utilised it to the detriment of women and children.Angry
