I don't know how any woman with a modicum of self respect could stay with labour now.

It's like staying with an abuser in the hopes you can love him better all the whilst he's beating you into submission.

What I hope to see, with all my heart, is women leaving in absolute droves.

Please don't stay with them, women.

I’m so shocked this has happened without proper consultation.

It’s a fucking disgrace.

Greensmurfterf · 05/03/2018 21:58

Is it genuine because I can't believe it's not a spoof.

If it is true then get ready for peak trans from a lot of people tomorrow and a lifetime of Tory rule (utterly depressing).

Magdalen Berns' latest youtube film she says something like "even men think it's stupid; they don't see 'trans women' as women'.

As well as being so wrong and cruel in a million ways for us as women, it's an electoral death sentence.

It looks daft. Because it is.

AngstySpanksey · 05/03/2018 21:56

I don’t usually comment but I am beyond angry about this. No consultation, no addressing concerns. They allow appalling abuse towards women and transwomen who can see what a bad idea it is.
Well they’ve told me what they think of us, they’ll not be getting my vote again and I’m cancelling my membership. I know of other (usually silent) women doing the same.

ijustwannadance · 05/03/2018 21:56

Year of the woman. Fucking joke.
What consultation?! Guess the Scottish one was a waste of time then.

The 'womens' opinions only fucking count if those opinions are from people with dicks.

ReluctantCamper · 05/03/2018 21:55

oh dear, I'm going to have to get off my arse and cancel my membership now aren't I?

TulipsInAJug · 05/03/2018 21:53

Disgraceful.

Sadly, most women WON'T leave the LP because of this, but they deffo SHOULD.

Judder · 05/03/2018 21:50

They will need TW to stand on AW shortlists because there won't be any proper women's activists left in the party. That way all the Labour politicans can be men and finally the brocialists will be happy. I foresee them smiling smugly to themselves about how intersectional they're being once there are no women left.

TruScum · 05/03/2018 21:50

I felt this was coming though I hoped maybe they’d actually try and have a debate before ploughing ahead Sad

I was quite active in my local area but my debit had been cancelled for a month now and every time I am invited to a meeting I politely decline and reiterate why, in writing.

I very much felt my views were met with increasing hostility from party members who were expecting me to be their ‘token’ trans. Brocialists indeed.

If the Tories see the light and kick away self-ID I will, without hesitation, vote for them.

I just don’t see how I can expect any leader or party to run the country in any way if I cannot even trust them to understand biological reality. (Plus I feel I’ve had my eyes opened to a lot of misogyny now in how labour have treated women over this - and I can’t unsee it)

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 05/03/2018 21:45

As expected. Fuckwits.

PositivelyPERF · 05/03/2018 21:43

Corbyn must really hate women. Imagine picking the anniversary of 100yrs since the first female vote. I swear they’ve been planning this nonsense and deliberately timed it for now. 100yrs from now they’ll be talking about the anniversary of when women lost all their rights.

SusanBunch · 05/03/2018 21:34

What did that involve...a cosy chat at brocalist HQ?

Probably afternoon tea at Claridges with Lily and Owen, sharing anecdotes about 'literal violence'.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 05/03/2018 21:33

I think 'blundering fuckwit' has it...

terfing · 05/03/2018 21:32

I'm not surprised. Labour has always had problems with misogyny. Sad

Bejazzled · 05/03/2018 21:32

Ahahahahahahahaha ffs Angry Hmm

fucking fuckery

SusanBunch · 05/03/2018 21:31

BYE then Labour. I will most likely spoil the ballot at the next GE. All the political parties are a shower of shit.

Are there any numbers of women leaving the party? Surely if sufficient numbers of women leave, they have to start listening?

I genuinely think some major event has to take place in order for people to wake the fuck up. I am thinking something like a beloved female sports star being repeatedly trounced by trans women and failing to get a medal or some particularly violent murdering rapist (e.g. Ian Huntley) actually being transferred to a women's prison.

GaraMedouar · 05/03/2018 21:31

I feel like this too - who do I vote for now? I really don’t know.

flapsDentata · 05/03/2018 21:30

I think this a clear indication that they want feminists out the party. Unless we exist in bad faith. I will never except a transwoman as a woman. I’m a Domestic Violence survivor. I will always see Male threat.

ElenOfTheWays · 05/03/2018 21:29

I was pretty much expecting this tbh. Corbyn is a blundering fuckwit and always was, but I'm still so angry I can barely articulate. Angry

PositivelyPERF · 05/03/2018 21:27

Do you still hold out hope Corbyn will see the light @JenniferJames? I’m afraid labour has lost ANY chance of keeping critical feminists on board. There were PPs that said they were going to try to work from the inside. I don’t think even they can stomach this.

XXHelenaXX · 05/03/2018 21:27

All Labour women can do now is vote with their feet.

100 years anniversary of voting, and we have nobody to vote for.

We need to make the WEP see sense, and they will be rewarded with thousands of new members.

QueenLaBeefah · 05/03/2018 21:25

I thought Corbyn was going to enter into a dialogue. Seems he's just telling women to fuck off.
