Labour Lewisham councillor accused of making 'foul and abusive posts' relating to transgender issues

Thanks @jadefinch! If anyone has any more screenshots, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

It might be this one

Does anyone have screenshots of Aisling's abusive tweets? Thanks

'In my head I am someone else. The someone else is the opposite sex to mine. However, the someone else wants to be my sex.'

Yes I think that covers it and is the simplest explanation I've heard!

The account itself has been taken down:

Not clear by whom nor whether it's permanent.

Tweets deleted - anyone got a screen shot or an archive page?

Actually I have decided to identify as circumgender myself now. I shall put it on on all forms where I am asked for my 'gender' not 'sex'.
We will see how people turn themselves inside out to accommodate that.

I advocate for the Circumgender Hunger Games.

Ah! At least I know the tune to that

[Scrambled eggs.... la la la le la le scrambled eggs]

My brain has turned to scrambled eggs.

Say that again ... slowly....

You might think that there's no difference between circumgender Dirk-Thor and a bloke called Dirk-Thor who just knows he's Dirk-Thor. But there is one difference, circumgender Dirk-Thor has a special belief about circumgender Dirk-Thor's identity.

Nothing concrete, nothing material, just a special belief. It's religion.

'In my head I am someone else. The someone else is the opposite sex to mine. However, the someone else wants to be my sex.'

Does that help? It's not helping me. I like things that make life simple, not endlessly complicated.

I have read that, and the explanation here but really, can someone explain in words of maybe less than one syllable?

I have no idea what any of that is about!!!

I am concentrating on laughing...

OK, maybe I'm thick, but if I understand what jadefinch has just said correctly circumgender works like this (fictional example, I hope to goodness I don't hit on real names by accident):

Dirk-Thor is male. Dirk-Thor now identifies as a female called Amber-Lily-Rosie-Mae. However, Amber-Lily-Rosie-Mae identifies as male, and conveniently wants to be known as Dirk-Thor.

So Dirk-Thor gets to say 'I come under Stonewall's trans umbrella' without making the slightest change to name, clothing, hormones, body, because of this belief about themselves, which they say is innate?

On an unrelated point, when does DSM 6 come out?

The actual OU probably complained about using their name

Circumgender is when you identify as a member of the opposite sex, and the person you identify as also identifies as a member of their opposite gender. Aisling Gallagher came out as circumgender at a council meeting last year - meaning she can say she's trans and get woke cookies for that, while at the same time being a woman who presents as a woman.

She's quite abusive on Twitter so it could be her - she also claims A LOT of victimhood, including several mental and physical health disabilities that don't seem credible. She has a well paid job, is in a long term relationship and is a Labour Party councillor - none of which is plausible if you have the severe mental health issues she claims she has.

What an “interesting” person they seem.

Honestly these people need to get a fucking job and stop dribbling nonsense.

I’ve reported their tweets. Knob.

That article is very unclear. It could be anything in the utter mess that is this debate.
Could be Gallagher complaining that someone else said that biological sex is real, or could be Gallagher themselves calling women terfs.
And circumgender? None of this stuff makes any sense.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, Shoots. I should have googled instead of giggled! Might also have helped had she put a description under that heading as she did all the other entries. I did think sex worker was a pretty frank and frankly odd addition to a CV.

Volunteered as a sex worker!
At the OU!! The Open University???

What is circumgender???
Is this some kind of code?
I am really trying to follow all of this... Its just too hard

Lol at Facepalm Councillor [?] in photo.

Wasn't it Lewisham where a representative from the Labour party was hiding posts from women on Facebook?

Circumgender? Every day's a school day.

According to their LinkedIn they volunteered as a sex worker for two years at the OU. I don't know what a volunteer sex worker is. If you're doing it voluntarily, how are you a worker? Maybe they identified as having been paid.
