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

It's great that people are openly saying #expel me and stating their beliefs, but what a sad state of affairs it is. Seeking to expel women for wanting to keep women's sex-based rights. They have made their position clear.

This tweet got me thinking: "I believe in the current climate I have transphobic views, like humans cannot literally change sex, like .." (insert own favourites)

Can we draw out the sting of being called transphobic by demonstrating to the majority of people they too would be considered transphobic in the current climate, so time to look at that climate?

A Whitehall source has told the BBC the reforms are "on ice".''

Splendid stuff. If Labour keep up their good work in alienating the electorate, it looks likely that no reforms will be happening for the next decade at least. I seriously doubt whether the party will even exist by 2030 if they persist with the woke intolerance and blatant disgust towards the majority of the population.

From the BBC link;

''In 2018, the government launched a consultation on reforms to the Gender Recognition Act, the results of which have yet to be published.

A Whitehall source has told the BBC the reforms are "on ice".''

Actually I say that slightly surprised to realise that it is that insanely basic, even after years of reading and studying this and trying to figure it out. I still have the lingering belief that there has to be more to it than this, it can't really be this plainly unreasonable, but yep, I've seen enough tonight to believe it.

Female people cannot have rights.
Biology must be denied.
Anyone not complying unquestioningly with this is evil and should be shunned.

There's actually people posting 'stay safe' from women saying I believe in biological sex. Female people need sex based rights.

Michelle that is extremely #dryphobic of you. Literal violence!

RuffleCrow · 11/02/2020 21:09

Nice one! I'm no longer in the twitter cesspool but i'm cheering everyone on.

Michelleoftheresistance · 11/02/2020 21:09

The nonsense being put forward by gender id extremists in response is only making clearer that it truly is that anyone who says females should have rights and biology is real is 'transphobic' and evil. Abuse and ranting at people saying rational, factual statements that the majority of the general public hold as basic as 'water is wet'.

There is apparently neither the sense nor insight to realise how plainly they're showing it and what it truly says about this movement. Let the hijacking and ranting and usual behaviour commence and gain as much sunshine as possible, it's the most helpful thing they could be doing.

No kidding, it really is trending! The GC movement is taking off. Listen up TRAs. :)

Blimey! PC Gul is going to be busy tomorrow Wink

I wish I waited 6 months to leave just to be part of this.

I know it will be hijacked, I know it will fade but it’s so uplifting to know that those of us resigning this past couple of years were not part of a tiny minority that disappeared into the void.

I’m going to rejoin and voice loudly at my local ward cause I won’t be the only one in the room and fuck them for thinking they get to be the moral arbiters of socially conscious politics.

From twitter

I am a the Labour Party Women’s Officer for Burton CLP

The Labour Party created the Equality Act that prevents discrimination on the basis of sex. I supported the 2019 @UKLabour manifesto to protect sex based rights.

I support @WomansPlaceUK. They support me.

"I am tempted to resign my membership of the Conservative party and join the Labour Party just so they can #ExpelMe"

Valanice1989 · 11/02/2020 19:48

@theflushedzebra, I've already seen someone hijack it to tweet that Magdalen Berns "deserved worse".

Thelnebriati · 11/02/2020 19:45

Wouldn't people who support neoliberal politics be better off joining the LibDems?

theflushedzebra · 11/02/2020 19:43

Scrimshaw - indeed - and it's very demonstrative of the extent that women are abused and silenced when talking about their rights.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 11/02/2020 19:37

Hijacking it will only spread the word further. It's all to the good.

Or you could just go to Twitter and read the hashtag.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 11/02/2020 19:36

That particular quote can't be reposted too many times, Gibbons. Grin

theflushedzebra · 11/02/2020 19:35

Just enjoy it while it lasts - in a short time, that hashtag will probably be hijacked by twitter TRAs - just like they hijack all women's hashtags.

This from Karen Ingala Smith Star Thanks
