''100 years on since the first women got the vote, there are still inequalities in the feminist movement. Why are some feminists still failing transwomen?

The evidence is there if you look for it – Transphobic leaflets being given out in the safe zone at Labour annual conference; prominent party feminists suggesting violence against transwomen; someone being kicked out of a Labour Women’s Network party for harassing a teenage trans woman; fundraisers being started to try and legally challenge Labours trans-inclusive policies; transwomen being excluded from Labour run women’s events by a women’s officer. The list goes on.

Most state their actions aren’t transphobic at all, but they are merely seeking the protection of women’s spaces. Some go further, suggesting transwomen are men’s right activists working purposely to erode women’s hard won protects. They commonly misgender people like me as a means to belittle our experiences and score social media points. And so I think its fair we question how much authority they have as cis-women to decide whether they are being transphobic.''

It continues in this vein.

Making the Labour Party an absolute laughing stock.

Given the Daily Mail is usually all over MN, why haven't they picked up on this.....?

The Emperor wants new clothes Hmm

Urgh, Traffig, thanks so much for that unexpected image of a willy in lipstick.

Yes, I know that's not quite what you typed.

DodoPatrol · 07/02/2018 10:50

Oh for goodness' sake, if that inept youth can't even budget for a new hoodie or look at a calendar like everyone else, why the heck should s/he be considered competent to represent anyone over the age of 5?

Clothes don't cost more when you're transgender, unless there is some new tax that I'm unaware of.

AngryAttackKittens · 07/02/2018 10:24

I'm loving the Brownies being on the TERF blocker list. Grown men pretending to feel threatened by little girls - you couldn't come up with a better metaphor for how full of shit they are.

(If I was in London I'd pop over and take the girls some cake to say "well done and carry on as you are".)

Traffig · 07/02/2018 10:07

Have I just glimpsed a plea for free cute clothes from a so called Labour Party Women's Officer? The one who went to meet rape victims who didn't know there was a willy lurking under the lipstick?
Shock

I haven't got a twitter.
Can people please send a shout up for me?

"Former human rights activist ( declined the MBE approach) seeks big knitted Cardies and heavy duty Tena (unused).
Two toddlers to unexpectedly support late in life.
No Haribo.
Thanks"

I think Lily could do with a Style and Beauty intervention. Wearing the wrong size clothes is never a good look,

AdalindSchade · 07/02/2018 09:30

People are falling over themselves to send him clothes. Pathetic

RadicalFern · 07/02/2018 09:27

Yes, can you imagine if Mairi Black had some something like this, what the reaction would have been?

And surely LM doesn't count as unemployed if they're a student? And even if one is fairly broke, Primark has many pink things... I can't stand all this disingenuous "poor me" behaviour. When are they going to do anything they were elected to do?

CAAKE · 07/02/2018 09:05

Please let someone donate the M&S pink dress in a size 8.

😂

Datun · 07/02/2018 08:55

The extra, extra, Teflon coated, indestructible, double standards privilege of being able to publically beg for undersized clothes in order be affirmed in a delusion.

Making the Labour Party an absolute laughing stock.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 07/02/2018 08:54

Or this?

LangCleg · 07/02/2018 08:38

StillTryingHard · 07/02/2018 07:48

Oh FFS - how much flak would there be if under normal circumstances a political party women's officer tweeted asking for cute clothes, never mind the size 8. The press would be over it like a rash saying women back 200 years. Let's forget gender for a moment & just say - love, what the fuck are you doing. That is not the responsible behaviour of a public figure. Now step down. Internship at vogue?

Battersea is ‘ard core. And you don’t want to mess with the Brownies.

CAAKE · 07/02/2018 07:23

So that's how trans socialism works, is it? You whine away on twitter until people give you stuff.

Pickleshickles · 07/02/2018 07:11

My arse is he a size 8.

Collidascope · 07/02/2018 07:07

I've got this in my head when I read that Trasarchist account of things.

He’s on the scrounge again. Is there not a code of conduct for CLP officers?

The 1st Battersea Brownies - crusading for armed militant radical feminism since 1972. Confused

Surely at some point some straw is going to break this particular camel's back? Then again, I've been thinking the same thing about Trump for quite a while now. Maybe I'm just an eternal optimist!

mamaryllis · 07/02/2018 04:52

Oh my actual god. The 1st South Battersea Brownies are on the TERFblocker list? For the love of all that is holy, someone PLEASE send me a screenshot. I am literally dying. I’m going to send her subversive crests. And possibly flowers.

hipsterfun · 07/02/2018 01:46

It will be interesting to hear about the background of Lisa/Tara/Tanis.

And I wonder what the reaction will be if they’re misgendered or deadnamed during the hearing.
