Jeremy Corbyn comments on GRA - Pink News Q&A

What a weasel declaring this at the 11th hour! Should those who are unaware of this issue even manage to hear his stance on this given the website readership, there is fuck all time for them to get to grips with it.

I'm pretty much in my infancy in reading around this topic and I've been lurking on this board for a couple of months.

Oh look Datun, your F word has been erased.

Someone said the other day that Labour were planning to make transphobia hate speech. But how will that be defined? Will asserting a belief in biological sex as immutable be hate speech? Would that be in Eqalities Act?

I was really struggling with the idea that for the first time i wasn't going to vote Labour, so much so I was starting to waver.

But fuck you Labour you don't deserve my vote, i dont think any of you are willing or able to give this any critical thought. Corbyn has just made the decision so much easier.

Tbh people can have certificates to recognise their gender all they like - as long as the law recognises the distinction between gender and sex and sex remains a separate protected characteristic
I doubt it will the way things are going. Spoiling my paper.

Timely - makes sure I won't waver and vote Labour at the last minute

I’d started wavering today, having previously decided to spoil my ballot. No fucking way am I voting Labour now having heard they plan to amend the Equality Act. It’s the absolute duplicity with which they’ve gone about it too, trying to pull the wool over our eyes with their shifty manifesto wording. I’m now wavering between spoiling and voting Conservative.

*can’t stand Johnson

I’m voting Tory. I know the candidate and messaged him last week to find out his views. He’s firmly GC and a day later messaged me again to say he’d found the Conservative Women’s Manifesto (I didn’t even mention it, and given that it’s been completely deboosted, not sure how he came across it!) and had signed it. I stand Johnson but this time I’m voting for the specific candidate.

Uproar, cannibalism, curly bananas at dawn. Scottish independence. Wonder what odds I'll get on that

I predict, rubbing my crystal balls ....

Tory win.
Brexit.

Wonder what odds I'll get on that.

I actually think the raging tribalism and othering that goes on in our politics is more than half of what's wrong with it

Totally agree Scrimshaw.

Yep, I'm out. It's either Tory or a spoilt ballot for me.

One of the first things I would be pushing for is to exile the Leeds City Council Labour Group to Lancashire

I would never flame anyone for any voting choice - although UKIP would get a raised eyebrow.

I think Labour are going to win to be honest.

OMG I hope you're wrong. I'm in a safe Tory seat but have a Yorkshire devolution candidate to vote for.

Timely - makes sure I won't waver and vote Labour at the last minute. Thanks Jeremy for the BELATED honesty.

The more Gender ideology is scrutinised the more the public can see it for insanity that it is. It just doesn't hold up

It’s infuriating, isn’t it? But all of the parties seem to a greater or lesser extent in thrall to this idiocy

I just think he doesn’t know what he’s talking about on this issue.

I think on balance of all the issues I will still vote for them (Lab/Tory marginal) and if the candidate is elected then write to her straight away on this issue explaining my concerns and not let up on it. She has a science background, the Momentum lot locally don’t like her, so might be promising.
Tbh I’ll start lobbying straight away whichever candidate gets in.

I think Labour are going to win to be honest. In a coalition with Jo Swansong. What a useless shower of politicos they all are in this election

I'm not a conservative but no flaming from me. I feel more connection with the FWR tory regulars than I do with Momentum and I think everyone just has to make the best choice they can.

Fuck off Jeremy.

I was planning on spoiling my ballot, but you've convinced me. Voting solely to keep Labour and the nutjobs from power is the only responsible thing I can do.

Well - that's a decision made. I'm in a seat that Labour is desperate to win - they lost last time by a small margin. I was wobbly about not voting Labour for the first time ever. But now my decision is made. Thanks idiot Corbyn.

He wants the woke vote @PencilsInSpace he's not actually thought about it. I suspect that Ms Butler has been bending his ear.

She's an idiot. I couldn't vote for someone so out of touch with what people actually think. So fuck off Jezza. From someone who voted you in as leader.

Well yes, various bods including the EHRC have been banging on about the word 'transsexual' for ages and it's no secret that they want it gone from legislation, but Corbyn can't even say it. He's just blithely talking about amending the Equality Act like it's no biggie.
Ffs.

They are rewriting the GRA or the Equalities Act?
