Labour Woman's officer thinks that trans woman are a larger percentage of the population than woman who have experienced sexual assault or rape.

I'm not a LP member and I'm not a constituent. Who do I complain to about this?

I'm not the person who tweeted Lily, I'm just an enraged member of the public (without a twitter account) who's seen it.

I've already written to my own MP about GRA and am waiting for a meeting.

Who do I complain to about how offended I am by that level of idiocy? Surely the Labour Party would want to know/have a right to know why people won't vote for them?

So far down the rabbit hole. So. Bloody. Far.

Shock I just don’t know what to say anymore.

I don't know the context of that tweet, but I am astonished that someone at the beginning of their (mainstream) political career could be so dismissive of victims of sexual violence Shock

It would be like (inspired by another poster said on a different thread) me saying that people who are trans-black like me, are greater in number than victims of racially motivated hate crime Shock

They need to keep prodding him and keeping the evidence of what he says
because eventually he will be exposed by his own words..

I think he's saying that the percentages are higher for transwomen than for women.

Not sure that's true either, at least in the UK.

What does he have to do.....

Takes the piss

Did you ask "Lily" how many women are raped and how many are trans. I'd be interested to know how they can do their job while knowing nothing about sexual assault.

Jesus christ..he is so clueless it would be laughable if it wasn't so worrying.
