MPs scared to be caught in same place as gender critical feminists!! [Edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

I'm just disgusted with this whole 'I'm too scared' attitude for all the reasons others have given.

What use are the lot of them? The quality of people supposedly representing our interests is phenomenally low. I despair.

If you are on Twitter or Facebook I would publicly message the MP and say "Hi XX I'm a constituent and I've sent you two emails but haven't received a reply".

One could question why MPs are so frightened about these scary individuals and groups, yet are happy to condemn children and women to sharing sex segregated spaces with the same people. If they are that much of a threat to MPs, surely they must be seen as a significant threat to others?

This.

Do you really think it's personal vanity, Golden? I'm getting the impression that they do fear TRA terrorism - at least that's the message they're putting out with "fears for their safety", and the conversations with James Kirkup and co.

happydappy2 my email was sent to 3 mps. None replied.

My first ever email to mps and no response so no idea what to do next other than to ask via Facebook.

am so angry about this-have requested a meeting with my MP, as they never replied to my email asking if they would please attend the drop in session with FPFW. If they just don't reply to me-what other course of action can I take? Thanks

They're scared of looking bad - of being on the 'wrong side of history'. I think it's more about personal vanity for a lot of them.

Can anyone screen shot it in its original form? I am annoyed that I had closed the tab.

30 years, tobee. And some things are considered such political hot potatoes they're locked up for longer than that!

If there is something bigger behind this, it's usual that we'll have to wait for the 20 year rule to be up. I don't want to wait that long. Think of all the damage that could be done.

'stupid haired id on legs' - hahahaha!

Bambi is now so terrifying that even the most bolshy MPs don't dare to contradict them, apparently.

Boris's sister is definitely not on board with this nonsense, maybe he'd listen to her?

So EVERYONE is scared of the “transgender activists”= violent men

He probably hasn't spent enough time listening to women to even be aware of it.

You know what’s amazing is that Boris Johnson hasn’t latched on to this. He seems to be borrowing from the Trump playbook in a big way, and this is an issue where many, many people might enjoy a stupid haired id on legs blurting out political incorrectness.

He’s calculating as fuck and doesn’t seem to give a shit about anything at all other than positioning himself to be PM. He must have seen the potential electoral advantage with this issue... what’s weighing in the balance against that?

Didn’t they state specifically what they were afraid of happening should they be identified?

Surely the current poll in The Times "Should everyone who identifies as female have access to women-only spaces?" - at 7512 votes, 98% voting no - must convince them that it's nothing like Section 28?

This is just plain weird. Who the fuck is pulling the strings here?

I think for most MPs its more that they've been completely briefed and lobbied.

The message has been that opposing TRA demands is akin to Thatcher's Section 28.

Davies is a sort of looney right on most issues so its sad he appears the only one showing any teeth over this, but there are many reasons people wouldn't want aligned with him. I really hope some more moderates stick their necks out and show there is a broader consensus on this. Its our votes they are after ultimately.

Totally agree Fermat although it wasn’t Norman Tebbits wife they killed. She was very seriously injured. Five others were killed.

MPs weren’t scared into silence by the IRA, but don’t want Goldsmiths bluehairs knowing their names? WTF is actually going on?

That is the million dollar question. The IRA assassinated one MP (Airey Neave). They blew up the hotel the Tory party conference was being held in, killing Norman Tebbit's wife. They assassinated Lord Mountbatten.

Yet MPs are so frightened of the transgender lobby they don't want to be identified going into a meeting in the Houses of Parliament?

Now normally (see many of my previous posts) I favour cock-up over conspiracy, random chance, the perfect storm, people stumbling into irrationality and authoritarianism as my go-to explanations. But at this point even I am reaching for the tin foil hat.

This is just plain weird. Who the fuck is pulling the strings here?

The question of why MPs are frightened of TRAs is one that has to be asked. The potential answers are all disturbing.

And yes. If MPs are scared, they need to be protecting women.

Speechless.

All of this means there is something very much bigger going on here.
