LET'S GET LABOUR TO PROTECT SINGLE-SEX SPACES

I've been so disappointed by the Labour Party line on this issue but they remain the absolute best option politically.

I think it's important to push for safe, single sex spaces and support them for the general election.

Labour is not one behemoth but many people and many CLPs, most of whom would actually support single sex spaces in principle. Yes the train to wokeville is full steam ahead and many people see this as a side issue but we have to keep it going, without discrediting Labour.

I see so many feminists online say they can't vote for labour but for goddess' sake, no more bastard tories! Please!

This element of the manifesto is being written by Dawn Butler so essentially we are fucked.

I sent this:

I am writing to you to urge you to ensure that women’s sex based rights are protected in the Labour Party manifesto. I am a loyal Labour voter and a party member. I fully support our brilliant MP and plan to trudge the streets as often as I can urging people to vote for her through canvassing or leafletting. I firmly believe that a Labour government is the only chance we have for a better and fairer society.
I believe that if the Labour Party goes down the route which denies women the right to organise as a biological sex, and allows trans identifying men to self identify in to the legal status of ‘woman’ then we are guaranteed to lose the election. The vast majority of the electorate do not agree with self ID, and do not believe the rhetoric of transgender rights activists.
The tide of public opinion is also turning on the issue of trans children. Children, some very young have been allowed, even encouraged to take life limiting medications and some older children are having irreversible surgeries. In the last few years there has been an astronomical rise in the number of children identifying as trans, and presenting at NHS gender clinics. This is an issue which will not go away, and one which the electorate are becoming increasingly aware of, especially since there is an ever increasing flow of young people regretful of their medical transition.
I will find it impossible to canvas for a party whose electoral success would have a profoundly negative impact on the lives of women and children around the country. I sincerely hope that you will be able to ensure the protections of women’s and children’s rights in the manifesto.

I posted about this a week ago and my thread was deleted. Good luck.

We can't play them at their game, because, we are women and it doesn't work that way for us.
People who support genderism just don't see us as fully human.

I'm in one of the most marginal seats in the country. I've written to my Labour MP twice and had one 'shut up transphobe' response that didn't address any of the points I raised at all. I did consider sending the Simon Fanshaw article, but there's no point. She's made her lack of thoughts crystal clear and for that reason won't be getting my vote this time around.

The trouble is, it's such a tight race between Tory and Labour that a vote for any other party is a shout into the void. To have a chance of keeping her from getting a second term I need to vote Tory, and that feels like a desperate pact with the devil.

Maybe! So frustrating though.

We may have filled their inbox

I keep getting an error message when I try to send.

I don't think you're ever going to wrench the wheel around on that speeding tanker. Labour in its current incarnation is an anti female party, it has been demonstrated repeatedly, and I wouldn't trust or vote for them regardless of what went on their manifesto at this point.

Does somebody want to do a template for us to send? I'm short on time with all my other T**Fing.

I've filled out the form, although I do not hold out much hope for Labour to do a u-turn on this.

My Labour MP is full on TWAW.
Sports - women should just try harder
Strangely enough she got her very safe seat via an AWS.
I guess she'd be quite happy for them to all be TW shortlists.

Right side of history = wrong side of the House of Commons. Maybe then they'll get it.

Labour are fully onboard the transtrain to wokeville. That and the antisemitism makes them unelectable to me.

If their minds could be changed on this they would win so many votes. If they genuinely cared about the poor GRA reform would not be in the manifesto as their aim should be to win power and they have persuaded few outside of their woke niche that it is necessary and their blind rush towards it has alienated so many sensible voters.

Would a mass mailing of Simon Fanshawe's article help labour MPs and candidates see the light? It is so comprehensive and so measured.

Ooo nice, Samphire

Thanks tea I used that as a starting point for mine. I'm OK once I get started, but I often need a short framework to get going

I ended by asking them to look up the term regulatory capture!

Also, don't forget to get in touch with your Labour candidate, especially if you're in a marginal.

Seconded. My Labour candidate is GC and not being open about it at the moment. I'm trying to persuade her that there are more votes in her coming out as being in favour of protecting women's sex-based rights, even with the social media furore that there would undoubtedly be, than in her remaining silent. The more people she hears from, the more likely that she'll begin speaking out.
