Jeremy Corbyn comments on GRA - Pink News Q&A

It's from an interview they did in 2016. It even says so at the top of the article.

The only people who chose to publish that 'on the eve of the election' is Prick News

Oh FFS! That really is stooping low....but why? It loses Labour more votes than it gives them, only the Tories stand to benefit from turning gender critical women away from Labour.

I’m voting for a hung Parliament so that Johnson and Corbyn get the sack, and a Labour leader who stands up for women can be elected.

Yes, this would be best case scenario I think. We can only each do what we think is right, but knowing other women are feeling they have to vote for parties who say they want to take our rights away, for the long term greater good, makes me feel a little less hopeless about it all today.

So, if its true that this article was slightly shifty, does that mean Penis News don't back Labour?

Oh dear. I'm in an SNP / Labour marginal seat and had pretty much decided to vote labour as our current MP is very good. Now I'm struggling again. Worried it'll be a split vote which will end up returning a Conservative MP.

@EmpressLesbianInChair I used to live in your constituency (we met in Jam Circus once - I've change my name) My partner had a phone conversation with our MP about self id and he felt it was very positive and she was GC. I'm sad to hear she hasn't got the courage to maintain that stance.

I also think trying to shame women who've spent weeks and weeks agonising over their vote is pretty despicable behaviour.

Yip, I’ve tortured myself with all the options and I need to do what is right for me and my conscience.
I’d love to vote labour as they (used to) align with my values.

John McDonnell stated quite clearly a few days ago on a Mumsnet web chat that Labour intend to reform the GRA.

That's not what he said he hasnt thrown women under the bus like boris and whoever is lib dem and he cant get anything through parliament without votes and local labour wont vote for that so I'm voting for him

At this stage, all any of us can do is vote with our conscience. It isn’t our fault the absolute shower of bastards running this country have given us an election where we have to decide what flavour of shit sandwich we’d most like to eat.

Exactly.

Women have zero real choice here. A vote for any party is a vote for misogyny and gaslighting (which interestingly my spell checker wants to correct to 'gal sighting') and their own special flavour of cruelty. Every option at this point is a trap, a different combination of evils, all with a price to pay.

I couldn't blame any woman for voting any way or no way.

The efforts to shame people over their vote and whether they vote or not is disgraceful. It's bullying.

My normally benign local Facebook page (local news and events that sort of thing) that I follow has been flooded in recent weeks with posts from Labour supporters (many who have never posted before). It's all the same thing and I've found it overly aggressive.

I don't think those that tell you you HAVE to vote or try and guilt you into it realise that it pushes people the other way. Policies and attitudes win votes not pressuring people.

On reflection, I have to say something about that article looks off to me. I'm not doubting the link but I find it slightly odd that Labour (Dawn Butler aside) would spend weeks ducking and diving to avoid the question only for Corbyn to show their hand on the eve of an election. It certainly doesn't give me any more confidence but I think we all knew Corbyn himself was pro self ID. I think I'm going to discount it, although I'm not voting until this evening and I'll be weighing it up until the last minute. What a day indeed.

I also think trying to shame women who've spent weeks and weeks agonising over their vote is pretty despicable behaviour.

Looks like a spokesperson a while back said Labour would change 'reassignment' to 'identity' (so no'one ever feels hurt), and 'transsexualism' will go Nothing said about removing sex or changing it to gender. Or am I so desperate never to vote Tory that I'm in la-la land, I wonder? What a day to be voting as a woman...

At this stage, all any of us can do is vote with our conscience. It isn’t our fault the absolute shower of bastards running this country have given us an election where we have to decide what flavour of shit sandwich we’d most like to eat.

I’m so sorry Badger.

Layla Morans constituency. The vote will be Conservative.

Badger
I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through. It’s awful Badger and you should not be put through this. I hope things improve for you.

Well i'm off to spoil my ballot.

I’ve never voted Tory before either.

But I emailed all my candidates & the Conservative one, the only one to reply, confirmed that she saw the importance of single sex spaces. My Labour MP’s previously come back with waffle about vulnerable minorities.

I’m in a safe Labour seat so I doubt it will make much difference, but she’s earned my vote. Fuck Labour.

Please don’t make other women feel bad for their voting choices.

I’m sad for you that you think that and think Current labour will ever stand for women. truly i am.

Off to bed. Early start to get my tory vote in. So apols if i fail to reply.

I think that for the first time in my life I will vote Tory. I can't believe it, but we can't let Corbyn in.

Not in my name. I am appalled that you think Johnson is not an anti-Semite.

So are 250,000 other people in the UK Ziggy. I do it for those who i know very well who are fearful and who have faced personal insults from members of labour /momentum simply because they are Jewish .

And i do it for women who fear self id.

So I’m still voting against Corbyn.

I am Jewish.
