Labour Party confirm that all women shortlists are open to anyone who IDs as a woman

They did not consult as promised, they did not discuss. They just decided.

Jennifer James has instructed her solicitors.

Fuck the Labour Party. That is the final nail in the coffin for me. Anyone got any ideas about how best to spoil the ballot next month?

If you are unaware Justine made it clear in general you can state biological fact. If for example someone on this thread wanted to discuss LM or HP, they will delete a personal attack regarding biology of that person.

Blimey.

I am glad she is continuining with this as from previous threads it does sound illegal.

And it makes no sense. What about non binary people etc? So as with GG - the women's posts are for feminine people, which is fucking weird. There is no need to increase representation for feminine people.

They were supposed to STFU until after the May elections. What was the point of the whole "We'll report back in June" thing then?

I suspect the solicitors hired on the back of the fundraiser has forced their hand. I understand that JJ instructed them to write several letters asking for clarification of their position. They will have had to respond to this.

What was the outcome when the man used self-ID to go onto some BAME youth position, was it because his StepMother was BAME?

I cannot tell you how much I hate these misogynists. I used to vote Labour too.

This makes all women shortlists a sham, maybe we need to campaign against all women shortlists, let the transwomen candidates compete against male candidates. It would be interesting to see if men are willing to give up their chance for a seat for a transwoman in the way they are asking women to

Good.

I'm glad.

Brings it all out into the open again. Where it should be.

It is an odd move from Jennie Formby and Labour.

Oh wow. Final straw

What a way to lose more votes. They simply don't have any interest in women, girls, transsexuals, the disabled or gay children or anyone struggling. This is all about getting their authoritarian ideology into the young.

I feel ashamed I voted for Corbyn last year.

Bloody hell.

I was thinking of drawing a cock and balls on my ballot paper and writing "No penises on women's shortlists, no penises in women's spaces".
