It's the current 'don't knows' you need to look out for. The result of the election is in their hands! Apparently it's around a quarter of voters who aren't sure yet.

I hate to break it you but a shitload more do.

I remember lots of people saying something similar about Brexit. Everyone was so sure that the remain campaign had it in the bag that there was no need to actually bother voting. And look what a shit show that turned into!

Do they support Labour? Do they really have faith in Keir Starmer and his colleagues being the ones to lead us into a secure and prosperous future? Or are they just picking what they perceive to be the best of a bad bunch?

I won’t be voting Tory or Reform. But I’ll be fucked if I’m giving my vote to a man who pretends he doesn’t understand basic biology, who allows Rosie Duffield to be treated in the way he has, who gives a job to David Lammy when the man thinks you can just grow a cervix with a bit of HRT, and who loses his nerve five minutes before the election when Tony Blair has to explain to him that women are really fucking angry with him and that there might just be enough of us to cause him a problem.

You might well be right about Labour. But I wouldn’t be totally shocked if Rishi doesn’t need to phone Pickfords on the morning of 5th June. And that will be Keir Starmer’s fuck up.

Conversion therapy! What a load of absolute rubbish!

Edited

You don’t think that indoctrinating young lesbians into believing that men can also be lesbians is conversion therapy? That same sex attraction shouldn’t be about sex, but some idea a man has in his head about being a woman? That it’s ok, because it’s a ‘lady dick’?

This is worth a read in terms of figuring out the complexities of the law around GRCs and single sex spaces. It's all deeply confused and confusing.

You don't seem particularly well informed about any of this OP.

Exactly.
It isn't just women Labour are a danger to, it's kids as well.

The OP seems happy to want any confused or traumatised kids have their gender confirmed and give them medication/surgery if they wanted it.

The most important thing for women is to not have Labout in power.

The most important thing for this woman - and millions like her - is to get the Tories out of power. Where I live that means voting Labour.

The voice of reason is the thought that springs to mind.

Wayne Couzins had a police warrant card and handcuffs. He didn't need anything else.
Some men will go to great lengths to access vulnerable women and children. They study for the priesthood, train as nurses, doctors, become scout masters, gym coaches, teachers. I wouldn't be surprised if Wayne Couzins joined the police in order to gain power over the vulnerable, particularly women. His colleagues called him Rapist. A certain man (without a GRC) managed to get a job running a rape crisis centre and freely admits to enjoying the power he has.
I have no doubt that a certain type of man would choose obtaining a GRC as their method of choice in order to access women.

If they can lie about women; they can't be trusted with anything.

Exactly and he's probably only interested in the vast amounts of cash he gets from just stop oil donor Dale Vince hence his 'environmentalism' if oil and gas gave him millions he would no doubt be happy to push their agenda.

Dale Vince himself has a vested interest, his company is in direct competition with oil and gas. It's so sleazy.

Starmer is slippery, two faced and utterly untrustworthy. He doesn't have the courage or care enough to protect women's rights. Like Boris he will sell his soul to get power. His mealy mouthed parroting of Tony Blair should convince no one. Labour are more than wiling to put their boot on women's necks.

The most important thing for women is to not have Labout in power.

I've always been a floating voter and I never thought I would agree with Jeremy Clarkson but for me it will be anyone but Labour that gets my vote.

Labour have made their feelings very clear. They are on.the side of gender, not sex.

The incoming government are set to undo the tiny footholds women had started to make.

Brace yourselves for conversion therapy, the scrapping of school guidelines, self ID, and some new hate crime laws to make it harder to talk.about the issues. The courts, police, academia, NHS, schools and unions are largely captured and this will be further entrenched.

Equity is dead, and everything is mixed sex, which leaves women with fewer protections.

It's hugely depressing.

This is so absurd because it ignores how the major political party's actually treat the most vulnerable in society and we should care about poor women, black women

Not just white middle
Class women

White middle class women are the least affected by the erosion of their spaces. That's the problem - they have the loudest voices, but they won't speak out.

It's very vulnerable women. Prisoners, the sick and disabled, domestic abuse victims, rape victims, orthodox religious. Those women who are very rarely heard.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/06/2024 11:20

Vulnerable women are more likely to be affected, those in prisons, women's refuges and homeless shelters.
