Lily Madigan, the Labour woman's officer, has blocked a transwoman

The women's officer should be looking after all women, not some.

I would tend to blame the bigots (as referred to in OldCrones post above) who use social media to bully and/or for self-aggrandisement

I think there is a mix of bullies who would be bullies anywhere but also vulnerable people who retreat into bubbles and echo chambers in ways yoy couldnt do offline

Stop giving LM more power than she has. She is not ‘the’ Labour women’s officer. She is a women’s officer in 1 CLP, like hundreds of others whose names you have no idea of. Many of them weren’t even in competitive elections. It’s Twitter that’s made LM famous, not Labour.

Social media has a lot to answer for with all of this

bigot
noun
a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.

Describes LM perfectly.

It links up with the other thread about butch lesbians not having a "place" and a visible identity as a group & being silenced and driven underground.

I dont know Jacks sexuality, but maybe if Tomboys and Butch girls were given their identities and spaces back, and were allowed to be a legit group again, then on the fense transmen would see all the options available to them a bit more?? Same goes for crossdressing boys. Options being presented are trans or cis. Not trans or crossdressing or just a boy/girl in clothes...

It seems to be an example of a person trying to escape themselves. Transing promises that, but it doesnt deliver, but its a tempting promise even if youve learnt in the past its false, maybe you didnr transition enough last time? Maybe if you commit more? Ignore the logic negative TERFS...

....its so like MLM mentality..

Jack did seem to be seeing through the veil for a while there but now it appears that shes aligning herself with the TERF hunters...

Jack posted about some nonsense and got piled on a few weeks back. Ever since has been Trans again themselves.

Surprisingly hasn't withdrawn A Girl Called Jack though.

Hey Jack - most people are non-binary - it is nothing to be scared of. It doesn't make you a man if you like to wear DMs.

She seems to have finally woken up to that now though.

She seems to have finally woken up to that now though Nope. Not a chance. She’ll flim flam from one to the other, until the novelty wears off.

Oh no, is jack trans again. That's disappointing. She seems like a great person doing their best but with a lot of issues to work through.

Also disappointed she's going after JK.

Agree that in a lot of cases, social media doesn't do people any good, mental health-wise.

Jack's problem in the transgender community is that she is female and successful and therefore represents a threat to the menz who want exactly what she has.

Her position is very vulnerable, she doesn't have the male privilege that the other prominent transgender people have. She will be dismissed as "not trans enough" which is code for "not male enough".

She seems to have finally woken up to that now though.

Despite all that I actually like Jack (especially when we have interacted on here) but think they are a person for whom social media is unhealthy/damaging. Its just unfortunate that their livelihood is tied up in having a public persona.

Social media has a lot to answer for with all of this.

The women’s officer must be a woman.

Says it all.

but now she's on the TERF witch hunt re JK Rowling????
Apologies, thats present tense so "he"

Theyre eating their own young and tying themselves up in knots with their echo chambers within echo chambers...

And didnt Jack come on here for support (and got it) at that time cause the trans community were erasing her (at the time) identity as a woman who cross dressed to escape gender steriotypes.... but now she's on the TERF witch hunt re JK Rowling????

Here is Lily's job description;

I will be sending it to as many Labour MP's as I can, along with his most "interesting" tweets etc, and ask how they think he is doing - seeing he is a Womans Officer, and a "gay gal" and all..

Well Jack cant throw first stones re people having short memories given that Jack is now back on the transactivist wagon after it turned on HIM a while back when she (as self IDed at the time in question) came out as not trans any more just a woman trying to escape misogyny.

It’s all going down. 🤣

When they think they have silenced women, it’s only a matter of time before they turn on each other. I used to say, during the troubles, that the monsters that kill in the name of religion/politics will always find a reason. If they didn’t have religion/politics they would still find a reason because they needed someone to hate.

The same will happen with the TRAs. When they think they have won, they will turn on each other. You will have to be the ‘right kind’ of TIM, or you’ll be a terf. Look at how they already hate the transsexuals, because they don’t fit the TRAs’ narrative.
I imagine many transsexuals are quite relieved to be hated by, rather than included with them.

And now this. Lily is unhappy with Hether Peto:

Blimey! My MP has fundamentally disagreed with the issues I have contacted him about.

So he blocked me....OH NO WAIT HE DIDNT he met with me, took notes, explained his stance and gave detailed reasons for it, and promised to keep an ongoing eye on the issue..

...all whilst TOTALLY disagreeing with me and voting in the opposite way to how I would have liked.

Cause adults in the actual world cant just stamp their feet and block everyone who doesnt flatter their ego agree with them always!!

Lily's definition of TERF is "doesn't totally agree with Lily"
