This is what it has come to. A women thrown out of a women's network party because of a man, or more accurately, a boy's feelings might be hurt. What the fuck is going on?

Stealing their soul?

Well they did say about Speakers Corner that Maria McLachlan taking photos was a justification for the violence which followed.

OlennasWimple · 12/12/2017 19:45

TheCountess - given that men can take photos up the skirts of women and girls and there is apparently nothing that anyone can do about it, I doubt a man would get thrown out of a party for a selfie with someone else in the background

BLOODY HELL. REALLY?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 12/12/2017 19:36

Only if it's a woman that commits this act of heinous photography. I can't imagine we'd get very far with trying to get a man thrown out of a party (whether trans or not) for doing it to us.

Is taking a photo with someone in the background literal violence now?

BeyondAssignation · 12/12/2017 19:17

I thought adrie was as female as Lily? Am I getting two people mixed up?

Fekko · 12/12/2017 19:15

Why be nervous? Why do the job if you are not happy to be on public? This is getting very silly.

I did see this on twitter...

Assuming that’s a wedding photo on her Twitter, surely as a lesbian Olivia should be even more aware of why women’s spaces are important?!

It was a Women's event, so Adrie would not be there.

Lily was there. And Venice was turfed out because Lily was there, regardless of whether he instigated her removal or not. Lily's presence was the reason for her removal

As women's officer Lily should have sorted this out.

BeyondAssignation · 12/12/2017 18:47

I think I saw that Lily has said that it wasn't them who complained. They may have also said that they were not approached by V last night, but it was earlier today that I read it so I can't remember.

Im wondering, was Adrie also there? He appears a lot more combatative than Lily (who just seems quite fragile tbh), so I'm wondering whether it was him who complained...?

coffeeclub · 12/12/2017 18:43

ZigZagandDustin - you are clearly assuming that she is lying - why is that? Were you there?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 12/12/2017 17:42

Women's evidence worth half that of a man... Now where have we come across that before??

SomeDyke · 12/12/2017 17:39

"I'd be interested to know what she said."
Go look on Twitter, the link was here earlier on........

"..... without having any idea of what actually happened."
Except for their own statement! Although we are all already quite aware that whereas TRAs (and indeed Lily themselves) get special dispensations for whatever they said on Twitter, including blaming their own brother and being believed when they say it was never them. Whereas one woman who says she was asked to leave and did nothing, no, we must wait seemingly for some verification.........

Who was being aggressive BTW, I can't see any aggressive comments about Lily..................

Surely one usually makes aggressive remarks to a person?
Or hurtful remarks about a person?

AssassinatedBeauty · 12/12/2017 17:28

What are the aggressive comments about Lily Madigan?

ZigZagandDustin · 12/12/2017 17:24

I'd be interested to know what she said. And until someone clarifies that I think you all look 'slightly' transphobic yourselves assuming she did nothing to merit being thrown out and making aggressive comments about Lily without having any idea of what actually happened.

Fekko · 12/12/2017 17:15

I don't think I would feel safe with a 6'4 bloke in a frock with a 5 o'clock shadow calling himself Doreen and demanding to use the same changing room as me.

Seriously - 'not safe' - in what way? WPW (Without Penis Women) are scared of being raped of beaten up by someone physically stronger than her. So compare this with 'not safe' in respect that a WPW might say that they are male?

Its all a stupid little game.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 12/12/2017 17:11

The irony, when it is women who have been attacked physically by TAs, and yet it's the TAs who are claiming the women make them feel unsafe...
Only a very misogynistic organisation could act like this and it makes me weep that this is the Labour party.

Fekko · 12/12/2017 17:11

Women without penises? Have I woken up in the third dimension?

Two sorts of women, the high status ones with penises and the subservient ones without.
What a brilliant way to make sure the women's networks and organisations will be no good for organising anything against the patriarchy.
The Labour party has utterly abandoned women.
