The latest addition to a Labour LGBT+ advisory board has been announced. I think we safely say the party has made its position clear on trans issues

Odd how the Labour Party is becoming quite male voiced. And called ‘labour’ - which is a uniquely female experience.

Fekko · 27/02/2018 15:57

Well, there will be a meeting where several of the all very special and unique (and loud and opinionated) new labour appointees will attend. I can’t see that ending up harmoniously

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 27/02/2018 15:56

That would be fun Order

Like a real life Taylor swift video. Look what you made Labour women do! Lists, a car crash, Jennifer James looking for receipts and her gifs of a woman blowing things up in her wake!

RedToothBrush · 27/02/2018 15:53

Why do you believe that Red ?

The latest polling for London isn't pretty for the Conservatives. They look like they are on track to lose control of more than one council.

I've seen this morning that Labour are micro-targeting EU nationals who can't vote in the GE.

And the timing of the custom union stuff? Pitched now, not months ago? Roughly eight weeks ago of the elections? Which is regarded as pretty much the optimum run in time for a campaign.

They will hail it a victory for all these policies (including self ID and trans politics), rather than because the Tories are such utterly incompetent muppets.

Its all rather depressing.

It’s finally broken Venice Allen’s support for Jeremy, we could all see it coming but I get no pleasure from being proved right.

And Jennifer James is not too impressed at the rumour that Jon Lansman is going to stand for Labour General Secretary, saying:

Two Flames @msjenniferjames
Oh god no. No to Lansman. No no no no HELL NO. Already has too much power. There is only one member of Momentum and his name is Jon Lansman. Momentum members are used as voting fodder, no democracy in the organisation, just a hierarchy.

No shit.

A lot of people concerned about Jeremy Corbyn, are not on an anti-Labour nor even an anti-left crusade. Nor are they Tories. Nor are they evil Liberals. Some are and are bloody gleeful about it. But lots aren't.

They just can see the undemocratic nature of the bollocks going on.

Corbyn's inner circle are just deaf to anything that isn't their pet project or isn't in their gang. They got a whiff of power and they've all gone stark raving mad.

I wish more people would wake up and see this. They will. But perhaps not until its too late.

Its like watching a car crash in slow motion.

"Apart from being trans- a fucking MODEL being a Labour spokesperson? What about someone who, you know, actually has an interest in politics and has done something?"

Yes quite. We will Katie Price representing 'cis' women soon, cos she , you know, looks like one.

Is that not illegal? Does it not breach the Equality Act?

Amortentia · 27/02/2018 14:30

I find it fascinating that the women Labour are pushing forward are males. Where are all the talented up and coming women? Are they being overshadowed by the transwomen? Does anyone know of a working class female being strongly supported by the Labour Party? I am genuinely interested to know the answer to this.

Mouthandtrousersall · 27/02/2018 14:30

@langcleg

My Labour MP Southampton Test has written to me confirming all women short lists are open to transwomen, and they do not need a GRC. This is Labour policy. I've had it in writing

MyOwnShed · 27/02/2018 14:25

Not my party anymore..

OlennasWimple · 27/02/2018 14:25

When are Labour going to realise just how much LM lies?

You know how he denied being part of Momentum a short while back? He must have forgotten how he was happy to trumpet that he was the Medway Momentum Youth Officer, whilst campaigning to be one of the UCA reps at the NUS conference

www.facebook.com/events/325855667820105/

"I became an activist after being illegally discriminated against for being transgender at school. I overcame this because of Labour’s Equality Act 2010. Since then I have tried to be involved in as many campaigns as I can, including locally organising protests of sure start centre closures and NHS restructuring, and at a national level appearing in new media (news stories, podcasts) and old (radio, newspapers) to raise awareness of inequality and debate in favour of LGBTQ+ inclusivity.

I am a Rochester and Strood Labour party member through which I have gained experience running groups (Chair of Medway Young Labour, Medway Momentum youth officer) and running socials (LGBTQ+ equali-tea, pints and policy), all of which have given me a greater idea of the issues fellow young people face. I am currently rallying for funding for a Medway pride event. Additionally, I am also UCA Rochester’s Women’s officer and Trans officer. This year I plan to run a variety of events through my Labour Students club.

As a member of the Labour party I recently attended Labour Youth Policy conference as delegate for Kent, Sussex, and Surrey at where we unanimously passed a motion against transphobia which will go into the next Labour Manifesto. I have lots of experience submitting and debating in favour of motions, such as speaking on a passed motion for Young Labour to officially recognise Donald Trump as a fascist and implore our next Labour government to leave NATO. I would love the opportunity to draw on this experience by attending NUS conference and submitting several motions."

RadicalFern · 27/02/2018 14:23

*womaning, not womanising! bloody hell autocorrect.

RadicalFern · 27/02/2018 14:23

Also, I do love men telling me that I‘m womanising wrong... Hmm

RadicalFern · 27/02/2018 14:14

Good grief! If trans women are women how on earth can women's rights and trans rights be mutually exclusive??

ijustwannadance · 27/02/2018 13:36

Yep. They are making decisions that will have massive effects on womens rights but only consulting with trans women. Because they are men so obviously know best.
They give no fucks at all about us.
They must really hate their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters so much to push this to into law.

JessicaEccles · 27/02/2018 13:33

Apart from being trans- a fucking MODEL being a Labour spokesperson? What about someone who, you know, actually has an interest in politics and has done something?

I mean, she's hardly Malala Yousafzai is she?

LangCleg · 27/02/2018 13:14

I'm done Lang. I had hope, but now just fucking white hot fury.

I'm doing my blood pressure no good at all. I've been peaktransed for about a year now and I'm still reaching rage levels on an almost daily basis. I have a friend who's not long come to it - about a month or so? I keep saying to her that she's so far off the peak she has no idea. And she keeps looking at me in horror.

OrderOnline · 27/02/2018 13:00

Those that Troll do so because they have little soul, they are empty shells, be they the physical or powerful Big man bullying those they perceive as weaker, or a mediocre bullied man that follows modelled behaviour to feel better about themselves, they are sad fuckers, they know it, victims and those standing by know it.

KatVonSweet · 27/02/2018 12:55

I'm literally so trolled. I remember when Munroe first made those racists comments, I looked on her page and loads of her acquaintances from university were saying about her history of unpleasant behaviour.

This is crap. For the few not the many.
I've been a member 25 years through thick and thin.

This is a horrible human being who will lose votes for labour by the bucketful.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 27/02/2018 12:44

I'm done Lang. I had hope, but now just fucking white hot fury.

The is no way that they are going to be pro women on the AWS after that meeting with Munroe and Peto. You'd be better off buying a bottle of wine with this month's subs Angry

And also Linda Riley who was the founder of the Ripper Museum and other delights. Have a look at this thread.

I feel for the LGB community too. Their issues ignored, they will get the blame when it backfires. A gay man I know couldn't understand why the T was there. A bisexual young woman is avoiding TIMs and says so are the young lesbians she knows, they lost social support.

ijustwannadance · 27/02/2018 12:40

I feel sorry for the LGB community having people like this and LM supposedly representing them.

LangCleg · 27/02/2018 12:38

I am now actively campaigning against them.

Still holding out for the official AWS announcement next month. Not sure why - a forlorn hope, we can all agree.

After that, DH and I will be out, I'm sure.

KanyeWesticle · 27/02/2018 12:38

Why is Grazia giving Munroe a platform to spout that? The title's not just inflammatory, it's enough to "Peak Trans" a lot of Grazia readers in one glance. It's too strong to be genuine.

I understand Corbyn's "Liberal Youth" agenda. Unfortunately itb seems to be working. The LGB definitely need representation over and above the T.
