Fair play - he's asking for opinions.

He's being pointed to a woman's place and a lot of other GC women and Transpeople.

I didn't think he came across as snippy.

He's certainly defensive with some posters, but generally those posters have been rude. I don't understand the point of telling strangers what language they can and can't use out of the blue. A few people on the gender critical side of the argument act like TRAs by metaphorically shouting at anyone who doesn't agree with them.

When a fairly senior politician wants to listen, we should be pleased.

I don't see why people are being negative. I think that it's great he is trying to understand both points of view.

And what on earth is with the face at someone who experienced DV not being able to find a place of safety? We should all be concerned that everyone in this situation should be able to find a place of safety.

Perhaps whoever speaks to him can give him a basic biology lesson...

He's a senior figure in the LibDem party.

I didn't think he came across as snippy.

There's some great women involved in a woman's place.

I'm very confident they will be very clear in articulating the issues.

Hmmm, I don't see it getting far...

He was a candidate for London mayor a few years ago, former police chief, did a stint on ima a celebrity a few years ago too. I'd need to read u I n him again as it's been a few years & can't remember what he's 'noteworthy' for.

Barraker - Paddick is a former senior Met police officer (the most senior openly gay officer, I think?) who is now a Lib Dem peer

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 26/03/2018 21:34

Think he's going to do a Ralph Little

OlennasWimple · 26/03/2018 21:33

Looks promising

SmurfOrTerf · 26/03/2018 21:32

darth I can't see what you've posted, but I had a quick look at his twitter and he says as a gay cis man, who has been subjected to DV he was refused a place of safety
Hmm

BarrackerBarmer · 26/03/2018 21:23

who is he?

Cocolepew · 26/03/2018 21:18

He was a bit snippy I thought, seems to have bought into the horrible feminists want to deny the exsistence of trans women.
