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?

And yet Liam's calls to kill actual women are of no consequence to the Labour party. How convenient.

Fekko · 12/12/2017 15:56

Is that a criminal offence?

BeyondAssignation · 12/12/2017 15:27

She was recently doxxed and the TRAs targeted her employer.
"Your business is not safe for transpeople as VA is a terf" etc

But it's her presence making people feel unsafe? Unsafe, ffs?!
Not the blokes who do this kind of thing? 🙄😡

huh?

Fekko · 12/12/2017 15:19

Whats that name again?

OlennasWimple · 12/12/2017 15:16

DrRadFem's Twitter says that it was the chair of the Labour Women's Network (Olivia Bailey) who asked her to leave the event

She lives near me and runs a small business. I know her business has been targeted with bad reviews etc by TAs. This whole thing is making me sick.

So who took it upon themselves to ask her to go, then?

Wincy79 · 12/12/2017 14:55

Did he ask for her to stay? Im so disgusted i joined twitter and tweeted the Labour womens network about how disgusted i am.

To be fair, he has said in his tweets that he did not object to her or ask for her to be removed. On the other hand, he has form for being flexible with facts

Do we have any news on what happened?

I don’t do social media.

OlennasWimple · 12/12/2017 14:28

Oh FFS!

Labour Party, this is appalling!

A woman is excluded from a women's event because a man pretending to be a woman wanted to be there and wanted her excluded. And this at an event of one of the country's 2 main political parties.

This is really really bad news.

Wincy79 · 12/12/2017 14:12

Did anyone leave with her, in solidarity like. If not then what a humiliating experience to have to go through on your own, please tell me some left with her.

Fekko · 12/12/2017 14:09

Wow. The Labour party has been a weird place for many years now and it's just getting weirder.

Where is the actual politics? Its all issues and campaigns. What are they trying to distract us from?

Terrylene · 12/12/2017 14:09

I think it was her very presence. Since the doxxing, lily (and friends) now knows who she is and can have her removed from a function that she has a right to be at.

Women's Rights seem to be now:

Be grateful!

Elendon · 12/12/2017 13:52

What constitutes a 'RadFem' anyway? Yippeee

UrsulaPandress · 12/12/2017 13:52

This rabbit hole is getting deeper and deeper.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 12/12/2017 13:52

I saw this on twitter too, but would like to find out a bit more about what happened.

FattyCat · 12/12/2017 13:52

YippiKiYay

I wasn't there but from what I'm hearing from people who were, Lily wasn't even spoken to by Venice Allan and another woman asked her to leave as it was triggering.

Of course, this is second hand information.

Elendon · 12/12/2017 13:50

Perhaps the word women is now becoming redundant.

What is the point of Labour Women's Network?

I still have a subscription in place. I will not be renewing. I've been to many of their 'conferences'. I don't feel any more empowered.
