Am I allowed on here with my kids both grown up? 🤔
I just wanted to say omg thank you thank you thank you SO MUCH for your support for the crowdfunder to keep Labour all-women shortlists just for... err... women. £22,000 now and my sisters here booted it into the mainstream.
Anyway will check back in case anyone has questions.
You Are Mighty
Jen 😘😘😘

Well done Jennifer. Thank you for fighting this.
I have been up on and off throughout the night as my youngest dd has croup.

Hi Jennifer, I am in Venice Allen's CLP (the other woman who is suspended) but I have never been to a meeting, despite being a member for years. They're (we're?) having a women's forum on 18th Feb which I am planning to attend (providing I don't go into labour before then!), although I've no idea what to say.

Any tips? Or just wing it?

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 07/02/2018 06:52

Thank you Jen, I really appreciate your efforts.

We’ll be under a Labour government soon?
Shock

Quite literally hell will freeze over before those bastards get my vote.
Corbyn - a man of the people?? Yes, only the menz people.

As a life long Labour supporter I am truly appalled at there treatment of women.

We are your sisters, daughters, wives and friends.
When the fuck are any of these men going to stand together with us??

^What they said. Thank you for everything you've done. I think a lot of people peaktransed because of the crowd-funder and I suspect it will be exponential.

I've finally joined the Labour Party. I was considering it for a while, but this was the push I needed. I know some of the LP campaigners round here a little bit, and I suspect they don't really know the full implications of self-ID.

I'm not into politics, but safe spaces for women is something I feel very strongly about. What would be the most straight forward way of letting my opinion be known?

SophoclesTheFox · 07/02/2018 06:47

I've said it a few times on here, but it's important to remember that being gender critical and resisting the transactivists is helping the marginalised.

  • lesbians who are being pressured into accepting the lady dick
  • gender non conforming young people whose issues with gender may stem from autism or sexual abuse, or of growing up in homophobic households
- women who want to be able to compete in their sports without men charging in a beating them - women and girls who don't want males changing in their changing rooms, their hospital wards or performing their intimate exams.

All vulnerable groups that I want to carry on sticking up for. Aggressive males, not so much.

Nottheduchessofcambridge · 07/02/2018 06:45

Morning! I’ve been up since 4:45, couldn’t sleep as I have neck pain and I’m sure someone swapped my pillows for rocks! Well done Jen, keep up the good work, Trans rights should never come at the downfall of women’s rights.

Morning Jennifer! Another donor here, checking in to say THANK YOU for putting your head above the parapet and a massive splurge of good luck for the fights that lie ahead of you! You are right - people might not like it, but that doesn't change it.

Terftastic · 07/02/2018 06:42

"Women don't have dicks" is soooo my mantra now. It really is just a fact.

"Woman is not a feeling inside a man's head" - also very good.

Crazy times.

It's a hard one to get through, we all reflexively want to help the marginalised. But this one comes down to:
Our safety and representation matters more than yr need for validation.

Hey babe... i didnt know much about it before twitter. The amazing @magdalenberns radicalised me. Xx

'Women don't have dicks', even 5 years ago that wouldn't have been a controversial statement.

I also like

'Woman is not a feeling'

Dallas it's getting the message out there. Most people I speak to haven't heard what's going on in terms of AWS or wider trans and as soon as they do, they're angry.
