Political parties that actually care about women...

Hi everyone,

I was a life long supporter and former member of the Labour Party. I ended my membership last year.

I was going to post this in the Politics section but thought people here may be a bit more understanding.

Are there any political parties I could look into that actually support women, and maybe are gender critical?

Thanks in advance!

No centre left or left wing parties will be against trans ideology. In fact I think leftwing ideology and 3rd wave feminism lead to it. Only Conservative or religious parties will be likely be against it, so the likes of the DUP, UKIP and the right wing of the Conservative Party, those with a religious grounding or the more traditional ‘family values’ parties, the sort of ones the left have been against and some feminists have called ‘oppressive’ in the past.

It was the Morning Star, who came out against self-ID on the grounds that women were an oppressed minority by virtue of their sex.

It would seem not!

Milly I looked at the communist party website and couldn't see any new material on the page for women; looks like it was last added to a few years ago. Do they have a new website?

Thanks everyone. Thought the likelihood of finding one was slim. I might try and make my own 😂

TIG are silent on the subject at the moment beyond:

The barriers of poverty, prejudice and discrimination facing individuals should be removed and advancement occur on the basis of merit, with inequalities reduced through the extension of opportunity, giving individuals the skills and means to open new doors and fulfil their ambitions.

Yes. Make your views heard to TIG because you can be sure transactivists will.

DoctoressPlague · 07/03/2019 12:01

No, there isn't one, but there's going to be lots of polls and surveys on voting intentions as TIG attempts to become an official party. Make your views heard whenever and wherever you can.

Sadly, no.

MillytantForceit · 07/03/2019 11:54

Just the Communists at the moment.

Ha! I wish.
