Why we need representation from women (and why a Labour Women’s Officer is proving that transwomen don’t represent women)

The following tweet got the poster blocked by a Labour Women’s Officer

“Male violence is toxic isn’t it. More than 1,600 women were killed by men in the US in 2015

And 113 women were killed by men in the UK in 2016.
Disgraceful isn’t it”

This is why women need to represented by women in politics and not transwomen

How is this being allowed to continue? Does Labour just not give a shit about women anymore?

@UnderHerEye absolutely agree with you. It is a total disgrace , what has happened to the Labour Party. I feel ashamed now that I voted Labour in the last election. It won’t be happening again unless there is radical reform.

"A non-binary transwoman who was attracted to females could stand for trans officer, LGBT+ officer and Women's Officer."

This is precisely what has happened with the NUS representatives: both the trans officer and the LGBT (Women's place) officer are transwomen, and the LGBT (open place) officer is also a male. I am not sure who exactly is meant to represent lesbians and other females within that community, but hey, that's progress! Better a perv than a non-penised person apparently.

Thanks for sharing that pathetic excuse of a reply you got. I can’t believe this is happening to the Labour Party.

So prominent members of the party get investigated for posting Gender Critical tweets, meanwhile men are allowed to call women cunts, and bitches, call for violence and harm to them, dismiss the experiences of
rape survivors and belittle and demean woman all over social media AND LABOUR DOESNT GIVE A SHIT.

If LM wasnt transgendered there is no way they would be getting away with what they post on twitter, LM is a disgrace to the position they hold and a disgrace to the women they supposedly represent.

The Labour Party is repeatedly showing is it doesn’t give a shit about women.
When someone shows you who they are believe them.

I bet Lil is envious of the rise of fellow traveller on the political career fast-track, Aimee-me-me Challoner.

From schoolboy to External Communications Officer, to standing for election for the Deputy leadership of the Green party - the rise has been meteoric. She fancies her chances as Leader.

The Green party has a huge problem with getting woman to stand in elections and become green politicians. Male-born youths have no such qualms about elbowing their way into positions of influence and celebrity.

Their innate sense of destiny and suitability must have something to do with their chromosones and socialisation. More than anything it tells me that the high-profile transwomen in politics, are men.

I complained about this situation and today had a reply from Labour.

Dear name,

I am writing regarding your below complaint .

It is the job of the Complaints team to review all complaints in a balanced manner to ensure that matters are dealt with appropriately and by the correct unit of the organisation.

After reviewing the correspondence that you I have concluded that the matter you describe does not amount to a breach of the Labour Party rules and we will therefore not be investigated further by the party.

Best wishes,

Tim Dexter
Complaints Team
The Labour Party

Sniff. I can also do a mean Marilyn Monroe breathy, husky, whispery baby-girl voice too.

Sarahconnor1 · 25/07/2018 17:32

I think all this demonstrates, is how seriously Labour take the position of and the need for women's officers.

The answer is obviously they don't take it seriously at all.

You are all brave and stunning.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 25/07/2018 17:20

Ooooh. Special...

Bowlofbabelfish · 25/07/2018 17:01

What exactly is non binary? Is it a 2 or a 0.5?

I’m hexadecimal...

Datun · 25/07/2018 17:00

That George Murray person is positively unhinged. What a woman hater. Calling lesbians cunts for defining lesbianism is same sex attraction.

Oldstyle

That description of Labour Party women's officer, would fit perfectly with someone promoting the trans ideology, by dint of the fact that a woman can now be born male.

LM could claim they were doing all that for women, but mean transwomen.

And that's how it works.

SirVixofVixHall · 25/07/2018 16:51

AsAProf - that’s definitely brave, but are you stunning ?

AsAProfessionalFekko · 25/07/2018 16:49

I'm brave too. I got on the central line today - twice.

SirVixofVixHall · 25/07/2018 16:47

I’m also definitely brave and stunning.

SirVixofVixHall · 25/07/2018 16:46

I’m non binary. My bottom half today is in gardening trousers, so clearly male, and my top half is in a pink t shirt. I’m wearing eyeshadow but I haven’t brushed my hair, and I’ve been busy with the manly task of clearing the garden, but also cleaning the kitchen. I’m non binary personified. . Am I special now ?

SirVixofVixHall · 25/07/2018 16:41

Riley Dennis is like every manipulative, gaslighting, abusive man you’ve ever met, rolled into one hair flicking, over-eyelinered twat. Riley’s videos should be shown in schools to teach young girls what manipulation looks like.

FloralBunting · 25/07/2018 12:40

Betty, identify as NB, and I will shower you with adulation.

Until then, yam just a woman in sweats, and probably revelling in your privilege, too. Tsk.

BettyDuMonde · 25/07/2018 12:33

I’m wearing ‘men’s’ sweatpants again.

Why is no one telling me I am brave and stunning?

Do I need to change my pronouns?

FloralBunting · 24/07/2018 22:19

AAK, I'm going with... so the man can be called special and brave.

AngryAttackKittens · 24/07/2018 21:41

So Gary is a man who wears nail polish, and sometimes feminine clothes. Why does one need to be non-binary to do that?

Ereshkigal · 24/07/2018 21:22

Exactly. This is what the new interpretation of intersectionality is all about - maximising the number of marginalised groups one straight, white, middle-class male can dominate at once.

Great description, Sloth.

Gary Marshall. I liked this person (was so going to say guy because I have listened to him for years). I honestly hope what he is saying is all good, but I feel sorry for him and especially his wife.

A non-binary transwoman who was attracted to females could stand for trans officer, LGBT+ officer and Women's Officer.
