Twitter has taken the baton. Seems people are not happy with being told what to think.

If I dared go public on Twitter ...

"I'm not a Labour Party member, so you can't #expelme.

Med staff do not 'assign gender at birth.'

We are conceived, gestated and born in the sex in which we'll die.

No child was ever born in the wrong body.

Puberty blockers are a fast-track one way trip, not a pause button.

Lesbian and gay people are only attracted to people of their own sex.

Women & girls have the right to penis-free space.

Allowing men & boys to compete against women & girls is unsporting, unfair and unsafe.

These are not my beliefs.

These are facts, upheld by medicine, biology and law."

I've enjoyed using this as a good excuse to donate to WPUK and LGB Alliance. Hopefully they'll get a good spike in funding from this!

If anyone dare look, Joss Prior has joined in to "Expelme" to do "A Thread" "1/1" etc.

But of course. Prior couldn't let a no1 trending hashtag go to waste. I would take one for the team and read it - but nah.

This is better - this is a far more worthwhile pov from a natal male human being.

Good night witches

Of course they don't actually believe it when it affects them (the being tricked into sex thing) so for that reason most blokes would rather TW were shoved in with us women

Men rarely get how that affects us. They rarely give it 2 seconds thought.

Thing is it isn't just the members, I would normally vote Labour, but I can't vote for the erasure of women's rights.

Same here.

How many blokes really believe TWAW?

What I'm hoping is that this will be the point at which people who've been trying to stay out of this so far go, look, this is fucking ridiculous, can we just stop this now?

Well, either you'll wake up to a whole lot of new people having hit breaking point or you'll wake up to find yourself officially living in a dystopian novel. Could go either way really.

Floisme · 11/02/2020 23:48

I need to go to bed but I can't tear myself away.

Qcng · 11/02/2020 23:48

Huh.
Will they finally get it?
Will they?

When Emily Thornbury was on here, she really did stick to the party line
"Agree there is no conflict of rights. Just agree and stop tslking.".

It was so disappointing.

Now we know RLB and AR are Stonewall bots too.

What does Keir Starmer have to say?
I wonder what he will make of all this.
But... Fuck. He's a bloke.
They rarely get it.

What a mess.

littlbrowndog · 11/02/2020 23:47

Its a lot of paperwork isn't it ? The mass purging. I imagine . Have you got in extra ladies to do it? #expel me.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 11/02/2020 23:47

And even if you agreed with the demands the framing is worryingly remniscent of some of history's greatest hits in terms of How Not To Run A Party Or A Country.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 11/02/2020 23:46

In a way this might actually be a good thing, given that it's exposing how unhinged TRA demands are to a whole new group of people.

testing987654321 · 11/02/2020 23:46

J Prior can't decide whether to be offended at all the transphobia, argue that women don't actually care or say JP is aware of biology and isn't bothered what we say.

I hope JP lives the life they want to, they are male though and women's rights are for women.

littlbrowndog · 11/02/2020 23:45

I am the Policy Officer for Newcastle Central CLP and a
@UKLabour party member. I respect and support trans people's right to believe in gender identity.
And I want my right to believe it doesn't exist to be respected,
too. #expelme

littlbrowndog · 11/02/2020 23:42

Hit a nerve hasn’t it. Women and men furious over this

mimivanne · 11/02/2020 23:41

I am a member of the Labour Party. I have given up my time and efforts for many years as CLP Secretary and Chair. I also believe that women’s safety, privacy and dignity should be protected as per the 2010 Equality Act. @WomansPlaceUK #Expelme

Floisme · 11/02/2020 23:41

Sorry hit post too soon - 20k

Floisme · 11/02/2020 23:40

It's top again - overtaken Jamie from Love Island. Shock

nonsenceagain · 11/02/2020 23:35

Great to see. And hopefully it will put members off voting for them. I certainly won't be.
