I am a founder member of WEP, and was very excited by the promise of a feminist party. Along with many others I stopped my membership due to WEP’s dreadful interactions on here, and the fact that they were fast becoming the laughing stock of feminism due to their inability to define a woman and their support for a violent trans offender (with their ‘7 inch surprise’) being transferred to the women’s estate. I have since renewed my membership, feeling that pushing change from the inside may be a more productive strategy.
If anyone else is still a WEP member, the leadership elections provide an opportunity to get the issues around self-identification and safeguarding sex-segregated spaces openly debated within the party. So I thought it might be good to have a thread on here to discuss how we may be able to do this.
So far I have responded to the email about leadership debates by submitting a question for the candidates - what is a woman?. Unfortunately I’m not able to attend the debate - they always announce these things with frustratingly short notice for those of us who work long hours to get time off to attend!
Am I the only WEP member left on here? I know there a lot of ex members!
