Lily Madigan's feminist mission

Bit of confusion over LM's GRC too. It came through at lightning speed a few months back, as announced on Twitter, but judging by some of LM's more recent tweets it must have been rescinded, because LM was tweeting about not being able to get married till the GRC came through. This terrible injustice must be investigated!

I am haunted by pictures I've seen of 'top surgery' scars and necrotised breast tissue as a result of wearing binders.

I can't feel sorry for anyone who promotes this behaviour.

I thought Lily was poor. How can Lily afford to go to Budapest and then California?

Actually I wanted to ask why LM was posting that trans people face more restrictions to marriage. Can’t pretty much any two consenting, non-related adults get married at this point?

LM is doing things for the ladies. I think they are collecting San pro for those in period poverty . I shan’t sate my views on that coz it would be a ban for sure

It's not true that Lily has done nothing for women.

Lily announced a while back that Lily was doing a sponsored bike ride for a women's refuge and people gave sponsorship money.

I'm sure the people who say it was just for show after Lily has done exactly bugger all for women must be mistaken.

And those who keep asking where the money actually went to, or for any evidence of an actual bike ride, must be just trouble makers. That's why Lily blocks them instead of just letting people know what happened to the money, surely?

LM and yes, really nasty streak too. Damaged is the feeling I get.

And yes indeed, women officer doing sweet FA for women,

well actually that's pretty much par for the course. Penny Mordant, women and equalities. fucking joke.

floral God I feel the same way, I was looking at Lilys tweets yesterday about Karen White ( now removed) and so furious, but also felt very sad and sorry for LM. this confused me .

LM apologised a few times in the thread, quoted American stats for prisoners and really didn't seem to have a clue. You described it very well. The feeling I get is LM is very lost and outa depth. I mean really Labour should have got rid of LM ages ago.

Can you imagine if any other women's officer had tweeted that women getting sexually assaulted after they were locked up in a prison with a rapist as transphobia. Jesus wept.

@woman110117 Anne Ruzlyo wasnt' in this post tho, she was in a neighbouring post. She was still bullied out of it by this little toad tho.

I saw that LM is going to California to meet with LGBT acitivists. Not quite sure why LM is wasting LM's time doing that rather than concerning themselves with proper womens issues.

LM also tweeting that LM is hoping to start hormones. So nowhere near any kind of meaningful transition. yet of course god forbid we're allowed to refer to LM by any pronoun which might misgender LM

Not derailing at all floralbunting your posts are always interesting.

Labour are so shit with their safeguarding/duty of care they’d benefit from advice from the greens.

Lily is obviously charismatic and with more than a streak of egotism and narcissim which allows and pushes her to seek the public eye. My main gripe is that she has done bugger all for women while being a woman's officer that I can see. I did ask what she was working on but got no response.

Sorry. I shan't derail further. But Lily is a microcosm of the bigger political picture to me - the gullible and vulnerable being exploited and promoted by the gullible and vulnerable higher up, who is in turn being exploited by others who have no idea what they are doing and haven't noticed they are driving into a ditch and wouldn't care if they did.

I wonder if some of these young people would benefit more from help with managing their finances?

One’s posting that every time they get near their target for whatever treatment it is they want, a bill comes along and blows a hole in their fundraising.

IAmLurkacus, I find myself laughing sardonically at every news bulletin and current affairs programme. Labour, the LibDems, the Greens, all a complete shower. The Tories are atrocious right now. It should be a slam dunk every day. No wonder May is dancing about all over the world. She should be a dead woman walking, and she's having a ball. Bloody ridiculous.

It's a feminist issue in that young girls who reject feminine stereotyping are trying to raise money for irreversible surgery under the delusion that they must be male.

The Labour party is beyond parody at this point.

At lunchtime I saw Vince Cable interviewed. He said disaffected labour members should join the Lib Dem’s as they are the party of ‘common sense’. I’m still laughing.

Isn't there a US trans billionaire who has promised to fund surgery for any trans person that wants it?

Doesn't the Labour Party have rules on this kind of behaviour? Not to mention Lily's constant promises to do bike rides, or volunteer for a DV charity, which never materialise.

It is an absolute travesty that Anne Ruyzlo is not still in this post. Madigan is being exploited cruelly. Awful situation. Needs humanity and common sense to sort this one.

The Labour party is beyond parody at this point. It's headed up by a man who couldn't lead anyone round a desk, and is so riven with slogan obsessed divisive loons that it can't mount an effective opposition to one of the most rubbish governments I can recall in my lifetime.
The fact that they are still happy to pat Madigan on the head as a potentially useful pawn for some undefined coming future socialist paradise that Magic Grandpa is going to usher in by force of charisma is just testament to the football chant that keeps running through my head whenever I read about politics these days.

"#You don't know what you're doing!#"

Well yes. The issue isn't really with Lily. It is squarely with wtf the Labour Party think they are doing.

Well expressed FloralBunting
