"If you find yourself caring about what's between someone's legs, then you are a part of the problem. Being a woman is not enough, women have to support other women. We need good women in politics"

I am so sad about this. The Fawcett Society, ffs. Mhari Black, ffs.

We need good women in politics

Indeed, Mhairi. But the ones with penises will steadily force the ones with vaginas out of politics.

"And despite her accent she is resolutely middle class."

Glosswitch has some useful commentary (the thread repays reading):

What next? People who campaign against poverty "only care about bits of paper with numbers printed on them denoting a symbolic value and are part of the problem"?

HamiltonCork what makes you say she is middle class?

SNP MSPs/MPs etc are not allowed to speak out against the party policy (it’s in their constitution). It’s what has made the SNP do strong as they always speak in one voice but it is also their greatest weakness.

Combined with Mhairi being young and never really worked doesn’t give her a huge amount of life experience. And despite her accent she is resolutely middle class.

It’s breathtaking ignorance for a lesbian, to be totally unaware of trans violence and threats to make them “suck lady dick”. And she is hugely privileged indeed if she doesn’t have to risk assess every stranger on a dark night on the basis of “what they have in their pants” - it’s almost exclusively males who present a threat of violence or murder to lone females.

She's also apparently "bored" of gender. How nice for her. The rest of us don't have that privilege.

It's not what's between their legs we care about per se but how it impacts their behaviour and affects us negatively.

So assuming she would date a 'male lesbian' then if she doesnt care whats between someones legs? Anyone on twitter like to ask her that?
