Students supporting trans ideology taking over working class projects

The 'only' woman marching for the miners? really

I must've hallucinated the Lancashire Women Against Pit Closures picket line at Parkside

RedToothBrush I don't know - but there's an CiF article about Labour voters, and at least a couple of GC comments

Has the Guardian's patience for Corbyn reign run out today?

A Guardian reporter has just asked lucy to contact her. To call her a bigot or to air her views? Hmm.. I wonder. ..

This is a really great thread, I am heartened to know that I am not the only working class wowan totally and utterlly fed up with middle class men and women telling me why I am wrong. What really winds me up is that I have lived it, born very poor, dad suffering industrial accident when I was very young( no compensation in those days), living hand to mouth by sheer necessity,mum dying when I was 11, knowing I was at the bottom of the pile.And then being patronized by my betters. I know I talk with a distinct accent, but I am not thick! And neither are a lot of us, sorry for the rant but I feel so mad that the agenda takes over.

I can see that a Guardian journalist has asked to speak to them about this.
I would have thought that hell would freeze over before the Guardian allows any gender critical facts or opinions to counter their 'trans is the most oppressed group ever in the world' propaganda

I wonder how the meeting went?

Come now Langcleg, everyone knows the girls in Telford have cis privilege...

What a great Twitter thread. I hope WPUK has seen it.

No no, that would be horrendous even for a TA or an libfem ally. Instead she'll be told to stop being manipulative, that however horrible her experiences are transwomen are far more oppressed and vulnerable than she'll ever be therefore it's only right and proper that their needs are considered first.

Urgh.

I've been following the responses on Twitter and there is one person aggressively asking questions in a really patronising way. Their behaviour is an exact demonstration of what the thread is about - arrogant posh people imposing their gentrified theories of "oppression" onto the actually oppressed and thereby actively obstructing work that offers real and practical support to genuinely marginalised people.

These people really are incapable of reflecting on themselves AT ALL.

Woman privilege?

" Someone was saying earlier - what if one of those Telford girls gets PTSD associated with the male body? Can she speak? Is she allowed a trigger? Or will she be told to die in a fire, terf scum? "

No no, that would be horrendous even for a TA or an libfem ally. Instead she'll be told to stop being manipulative, that however horrible her experiences are transwomen are far more oppressed and vulnerable than she'll ever be therefore it's only right and proper that their needs are considered first.

What a powerful tweet. Thank you for sharing it. We are right and we will win.

I hadn't thought of this as also being a class issue, but of course it is.

Thanks for the link, Puurfect.

My understanding is that certain personality disorders are untreatable and harmful to others. Maybe it's time to screen for them as part of a psychiatric assessment 'fitness to hold public policy office' test? No sane person believes a man is a woman, no decent person believes a man is a woman.

Labour councils should introduce pronoun badges in the North. Like Brighton and Hove.

That thread explains why, perfectly.

I think this is where the terms 'Westminster Bubble' or 'Liberal Elite' hold power and ressonance.

one of the only women marching for the miners in 84/85.

You can't be 'one' of an 'only'. That doesn't make sense.

I'm another one who shook many a tin for the strike fund. Anyone who says there weren't many women involved, clearly wasn't there.

Too much self love (thinking you as a MC student is superior to a WC person, or a male member of the Transology religion) and no love for others, very toxic behaviour. The true vulnerable and those helping are trampled underfoot by the privileged telling lies and masquerading as the vulnerable.

LangCleg - wish I'd used that back then - perfect!

Yes! Thank you for sharing that thread.

imnolaidee - my auntie used to tell me that the only correct response to that was "only if you show me your needle dick first" - used it many times!

Slight aside, but perhaps topical (even though it was a long while ago).

I was at the Brighton miners gathering at the tory conference back in 1984. I was supporting the miners and as I walked along with them a few shouted out to me "get ya tits out for the lads"

I marched for the miners in 1984. Last time I looked, I was a woman. So LM can bugger off.

And it's the poor, marginalised, vulnerable women who most need single sex services and who will suffer most if they are taken away.

Someone was saying earlier - what if one of those Telford girls gets PTSD associated with the male body? Can she speak? Is she allowed a trigger? Or will she be told to die in a fire, terf scum?
