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

blimey that moves s-l-o-w-l-y

Can whoever made it speed it up a bit please??

Lily Madigan does not represent transsexual women and is a pawn of the current Labour party.

This explains all

Weird choice of music though!

Aww yetanothertranswoman. You should take it as a compliment. Do you really want to be lumped in with the rest of the creepy fanclub? Welcome to the Tell Everyone Real Facts club.

Pressed post too soon - politics also means you are the subject of abuse and speculation and while this is very unpleasant when it is personal (and arguably unnecessary) it is a fact that you must and will be held accountable for your views and be prepared to defend them - that doesn't mean pretending the other point of view doesn't exist.

That said, politics can also be pretty childish (see HOC bun fights and all the boos and heckles)

Sorry, I do know how to spell hijacked, but my autocorrect weirdly, er, hijacked my sentence

I am not at all sure politics is the right career for this person. Politics means listening to other points of view whether you like them or not. That said if they are particularly depressed which seems likely I can understand them shutting out things which would make that depression worse.

I wonder if this isn't why the community seems to become more and more hostile and poisonous to itself and those it feels slighted or threatened by. If the reasonable adults all leave, what are you left with?

This is what will mark the end of this destructive movement's power, imo. The atomisation of identities as all these pomo-addled [thanks to the MNer who coined this term recently] loons seek to outdo each other in laying stake to the superior identity, means that they will ultimately turn on each other. Sadly, they will leave in their wake the genuine trans people whose plight they have highjacked.

Unbelievable, isn't it? No matter how politely worded or how close you come to Madigan's point of view - dissent, no matter how minor is simply not tolerated. I still worry that Madigan is a vulnerable person in an incredibly hostile public arena, but many other, equally vulnerable people are blocked, doxxed, gaslighted or silenced by Madigan & friends in that very same arena without any thought given to their feelings. It's complete madness...and I'm sorry this happened to you as well.

Tbh I was completely shocked to read how much contempt people like Madigan seem to feel free to show to other trans people, but to transsexuals in particular. But I recently read an article written by a post-op transwoman who has come to understand this as an intrinsic part of the new trans community. Otherwise they wouldn't use ridiculous notions like "passing privilege" as sticks to beat other trans people with. She was vilified for criticising an aspect of the trans community that was important to her life and the whole full machinery engulfed her - they got her fired, ostracised, she was threatened...and all for expressing an opinion they didn't like.

She's now removed herself completely from the scene and I wonder if this isn't why the community seems to become more and more hostile and poisonous to itself and those it feels slighted or threatened by. If the reasonable adults all leave, what are you left with?

Wasn’t that why LM was but on the block list because the blocker realised LM is a terf?

Does that make Madigan a transphobe? A TERM (Trans-Exclusive Radical Misogynist)?

All the gender critical transwomen get blocked and lumped in with 'terfs'.

Try and see it as a rite of passage .

For what it's worth I don't think Lily is any kind of trans that you or I would recognise. Lily is an agent provocateur and most likely an MRA.
