Madigan's Latest Targets

70 replies

dillydallyXX · 08/05/2019 16:19

I was in two minds whether to open this thread, because often posts end up being deleted, but I decided (rightly or wrongly) to do so.

From telling Maya to "fck off" and then repeatedly, over and over again, telling people how they had told her to "fck off" it looks like Madigan will now be going for Joanna Cherry. Apparently, she has been "transphobic".

Why can we never simply have a calm, reasoned debate about this?
Any time anyone raises a point of view, in the mildest way, that does not subscribe fully to this rigid trans dogma they are vilified and attacked in an uber-aggressive way. It is bullying and everyone is fearful of voicing an opinion. I want to use the word "sinister" about this - because I feel it is sinister, to stifle debate.

I genuinely do not understand how somebody like Madigan has been allowed to consistently attack women in this way. They seem to have protected status as being "trans" - Madigan knows this, so they just keep on being vicious.

If anybody does want to post, please make sure it is not offensive. Because often there has been interesting points that have then disappeared because of a wrong word or phrase, or another post that was a bit OTT makes the whole thing go.

Yes I saw that on Twitter Pam, and read Madigan's Medium article earlier. Awful.

A young lesbian Labour activist spurned Madigan's advances and suffered the consequences.

Because she is not into penises she was ostracised, bullied and shamed and had to to leave her local constituency party. Madigan wrote a revenge article on Medium claiming to be the victim of her transphobia.

Someone took issue with Madigan's interpretation of events and reframed them as an example of a narcissism:

Your mindset is no different from all the young, horny entitled males who gets angry when a woman rejects their sexual advances. You are contributing to rape culture by taking revenge on a girl for not fancying you. You aren't so different from the men who upload revenge porn when their girlfriend leaves them. Your mindset is the same: revenge for rejection.

Oops! Grin

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 11/05/2019 13:59

Now thats what you call a Freudian slip!

sackrifice · 11/05/2019 12:10

I take it we can all now refer to Madigan as a man after Madigan outed himself as male?

SarahPickles judging from Stephanie Dale's Twitter bio and pinned tweet, Stephanie is also trans, so the support is to be expected. It's all so predictable, even the nastiness towards women.

Because Madigan has very cleverly played the victim card. As a "trans" person they are accorded victim status; they are oppressed, etc, so they are treated with kid gloves.

Madigan knows this. That's why they also say they are disabled, mentally ill, working class, a woman, etc.

Madigan can do at liberty to others whatever they want - but the slightest criticism of themselves is called an attack that immediately causes mental distress and harm. Once you realise the tactics, it all makes sense and it is all very very predictable.

I don't understand why Madigan hasn't been disciplined by Labour and reminded of their place/status within internal party structure, given the numerous attacks on not only peer low-level officials but actual deselection attempts towards MPs. The extension of these involving a prominent, highly respected member of another party (and a party that Labour may need help from in a coalition) should really result in expulsion. Instead, there's mollycoddling and twitter blocking of anyone who raises concerns as if that means the problem will go away when in actual fact it makes it much, much worse.

Joanna Cherry is great 😊 her and Joan McAlpine have me actually considering voting SNP - not for euro election but local and national.

Intimidation of women by those with different viewpoints. Some things don't change, although it usually comes from men not a woman.

Errm, hate to break it to you but... Hmm

I agree that young people do seem less trans enamoured than they were. I think more critical stuff in the media, parents, teachers and GPs being more suspicious of Mermaids etc, I am Jazz's genital op going pear shaped means it is less cool and edgy than it was. Our GP practice hasn't had anyone wanting referred recently. 2 years ago seemed to be the peak. People are starting to engage their brains. I don't think Lily ever had any ops so Lily may get fed up of a life of cosplay

Yes but a public profile is what Madigan craves - it's their raison d'etre. They call themselves an "agitator", and delight in stirring up trouble.

Perhaps a public role isn't for Lily, then, if Lily can't manage it without posting abuse.

SarahPickles · 09/05/2019 16:47

Stephanie Dale is wrong. Lily does not get criticised "for who she is", but for the things she tweets and says.

SarahPickles · 09/05/2019 16:46

A woman has set herself up as an apologist for Lily's filthy abusive tweets. And guess what? It's all women's fault. Lily is only a child and below the age of twitter responsibilty!

I’ve never heard of Lily Madigan apart from on mumsnet. I think they should be denied the oxygen of publicity.

BoreOfWhabylon · 08/05/2019 21:22

They are like Tinkerbell, when you stop clapping along they’ll become very small then go away.

Yes indeed. The Tinkerbell of Twitter just can't bear being ignored.

Lily is a fish in a very small aquarium, I try not to press my nose up against the glass too often. Leave Lily swimming around in there surrounded by gormless guppies.

Being trans was cool for a while for the young folk. I do believe it's becoming less so. The young folk will move on to something else. Lily will have to try to reinvent Lilyself ere long. But Lily is too stupid to realise this.

lobsterkiller · 08/05/2019 20:15

LM has form for going for women. Lily did try to go for Lewis Moonie who basically Lily to fuck off, so LM has stick to the safe option of attacking women.

We have each other blocked, I would never take the piss out of Lily for being trans, I take the piss out of the ridiculous shite that drops out of LM's stupid gob.

I really should learn not to engage.

Just in case. Link to the fragrant Carl. I'm being sarcastic.

The way Madigan is treated within the Labour Party reminds me of the very unsavoury Carl Benjamin.

PEOPLE WILL DIE
Hmmm yes, meanwhile women like Joanna Cherry receive actual death threats and require police protection.
