The irony. I wonder whether the penny will drop?

Are you really unhappy to see a woman challenging the hugely patriarchal system of parliament, which has kept women out of politics for centuries and trying to have it changed? Do you think she deserves to be discriminated against, because she holds a political position you disagree with? Asking for it, is she?

Of course not. Are uou reading a different thread?

What's interesting is that she told us, specifically, that biology ks definitely NOT the basis of women's oppression.

Wtf
Stella benefit from a women only shortlist, only to then promote the idea that males who identify as women should be allowed into women only shortlists.

That isn't "challenging patriarchy" it's pulling the ladder up from underneath you.

She doesn't deserve to be discriminated against be ause of her female biology. No female does.
Stella doesn't believe that 'woman' means person with female biology. She thinks it means something else (something she can't define). Therefore according to Stella, women's rights don't exist.

That's what we're pissed off about.

She's pregnant. Maybe she'll realise now.

What an unpleasant post.

If this is feminism, you can fucking keep it.

I do not like her at all. Never have.

Although I would say that indifference turned to contempt when she minimised the concerns of a mother whose 11-year-old daughter had been exposed to a classmate-complete-with-penis masturbating in front of her due to a school's trans policies.

Can’t stand Stella Creasy. I saw her on a panel debate show once discussing Brexit. Every time someone else spoke from “the other side” she sat shaking her head and smirking and furiously scribbling notes and eye rolling like she was in the sixth form debating society.

I’ve heard her speak about feminism and she was great. If I didn’t know her position that TWAW I would have thought she was GC.

LangCleg · 18/06/2019 11:25

Oh, Stella suddenly knows what a woman is now that it's Stella with a problem?

Colour me shocked.

Welcome to the biological basis of your own reality - and the reality we've all been dealing with since having children. Perhaps now Stella will understand how galling it is to go through all that, because of your biology, and then be told that your biology doesnt mean anything and that anyone can do woman and better than you anyway!

Nauticant, you're probably right

...and some time on maternity leave to think about what a woman is and whether our rights need protecting!

Anyway, best of luck to her and I hope she has a healthy baby

Absolutely.

I also ho she starts joining the dots.

Like others, on hearing her on the news I thought "Are you going to get it now Stella?". The answer to that is probably "no, not for some time yet".

She has too much invested and she can still step around many of the problems she's helping to create.

CherryGlaze · 18/06/2019 11:19

Sad isn't it. I used to have a lot of respect for her, and she's clearly been through a lot on her fertility journey. But my first thought when I saw this on twitter yesterday was 'oh why doesn't she just identify out of womanhood, problem solved'

I wish the whole debate hadn't reduced me to this.

Anyway, best of luck to her and I hope she has a healthy baby

Like when transwomen complain about discrimination in the workplace and being passed over for promotion.

calpop · 18/06/2019 11:13

She wants the parliamentary authorities to allow her to arrange 'locum cover' for her MP role.

Maybe get a TW in?
