Well done, Hornsey and Wood Green CLP!!

Well done! great news

Public presentation not presents!

@ApplejackCriesOnTheInside You're definitely right as far as her public presents is concerned, but personally I think she's on our side of the fence. Very frustrating. The entirety of the young labour group would leave if she came out.

@teawamutu send it to the woman's officer, or even better, all the branch women's officers. Lots won't be on board, but you only need one. Good luck.

That’s what we needed. We needed just ONE council to be brave enough to support women. Hopefully courage will be contagious.

I want to thank each and every woman and man who has been brave enough to speak out in support of women’s safety. Whether it’s online, at meetings, in work, chatting in the corner shop, mentioning a story/article to the post person. Even mentioning the attack on women’s safety, rights and dignity to ONE person, starts a trickle, that leads to people in power finding their courage.

I'm going to cc this resolution to my local Labour Party. If they pass it I might be able to see my way to voting Labour again.

I'm glad she's prepared to engage, if that's your experience @RadicalStitch. Suspect where she sits is On The Fence

@ApplejackCriesOnTheInside I haven't heard that Catherine West is noisily TWAW. If she was, she isn't now. Not absolutely certain where she sits but I believe she understands the GC arguments. I have spoken to her about this at her surgeries twice.
At the LP meeting where this motion was passed, the term 'sex based rights' was characterised by the opposition as being transphobic. I found that particularly irksome that even mention of sex based rights is a red flag to them.

Thank you for posting that entirely reasonable, sensible, absolutely unobjectionable resolution here and on Twitter so that everyone can see what it says. Zero transphobia in there but some people seem to very very strongly object to the distinct lack of misogynistic content. Thank you to everyone in that CLP that got it passed.

CLPs everywhere should adopt this now in solidarity with women’s rights and good community relations.

Helpfully those self-important Young Labour misogynists trying to whip up hatred of the ‘vile transphobes’ have also pointed out in their tweet, that this one is the biggest CLP in the country. So that makes this even more of an excellent achievement. Now let’s see all the other CLPs follow suit.

That twitter thread is bloody awesome. Jonny should feel rather honoured to have his arse handed to him by Jane Clare Jones but sadly I suspect it was wasted on him.

I don't recognise a lot of the names. This is starting to get a bit of traction, isn't it?

My goodness how they squeal. I honestly think they will implode once everyone ignores them and asks questions.

Brilliant

All the verbs and adjectives in the resolution seem innocuous. So it appears to be the mention of WPUK by name that gets them all a-tizzy.

Hornsey and Wood Green MP Catherine West is noisily TWAW, as was her Lib Dem predecessor Lynn Featherstone, so it's interesting to see some pushback from the CLP. Tottenham (next door, MP David Lammy who IIRC was the minister in charge of the GRA) was the CLP whose delegates were publicly split on this issue at conference - gender critical delegate spoke from the floor then young woke bloke shrieked about transphobia from the platform.

Ah, found it now. It's a sensible and extremely mild proposal. Not GC as such, just saying women have the right to talk and organise. Damn right they do. The young labour woke club are not getting much sympathy on twitter are they?

The stamping of feet on that twitter thread is something to behold.

Is this the same one, seems to be from a couple of days ago.

what a fantastic motion, balanced, sympathetic and constructive

anyone who has an issue with that is really not on the level

Tottenham CLP claims the resolution makes them "unsafe" and Labour students (is this Madigan?) asserts they they intend to overrule a democratic vote and instead impose their will and get their own way regardless of what the majority wants.

THE RESOLUTION

this is brilliant. so good to see people waking up and realising they can't let this slide

Cor that really is something-a democratic process asking simply for discussion is met with such vitriol. “No debate” in action. So many are being peaked now.

:)

'we were told that male bodies in women's spaces endangers women- this is transphobia'

Erm.
