The TRA are now spamming labour with complaints about her transphobia & demands she is sacked

I’m planning to email my support fir her copying in Keir Starmer

(And yes of course LOJ is involved!)

@teawamutu

Anyone else think the very tacit support from de Cordova and Reeves, plus silence from Starmer, might indicate a subtle change of direction?
Yep, me.

I must say, kudos to Rosie for holding firm on this.

The brats are losing their control, and they know it. Tis a joy to behold.

Good on her for not backing down and swearing to "re-educate" herself.

'It is with great sadness that we have decided to put out this Statement on Rosie Duffield. '

Sadness? Oh, aye.

Golly yes. All Byronesque wan looks out of the window, their weeping sadness at having to put out a statement about Rosie Duffield echoed in the pathetic fallacy of the rainstorm outside their window.

Oh, how they signed forlornly as they realized her office wasn't going to respond to their demands. It was just like that time mum refused their request for Fanta in their sippy cup.

'We saw how the Greens and Lib Dems were haemorrhaging their female members and thought we'd join in'.

What bit of Canterbury does Labour’s LGBQT+ plan to occupy?
Don’t give them any ideas! They’re all on uni holidays at the moment, time to spare, would you honestly be surprised if they staged a socially-distanced sit in at her office?

Reparations, FFS, like believing in biological sex is akin to war or slavery. These children have no idea, do they.

Needmoresleep · 10/08/2020 21:25

Reparations....

When Germany failed to pay the agreed reparations post WW1, France occupied part of the Ruhr.

Cwenthryth · 10/08/2020 21:15

The attitude of LGBTLabour is really sinister. She hasn’t called for harrassment or discrimination against trans people, she hasn’t said anything rude or nasty or insulting, she’s just expressed a widely held belief in biological reality. And LGBTLabour are treating her like she’s inciting violence or hatred against trans people, and she simply isn’t. There seems to be a fundamental lack of understanding on the part of LGBTLabour of what the gender critical position is. And they’re the ones wanting to educate everybody, when they can’t even listen or bother to learn about other differing opinions themselves. Very authoritarian, and actually bigoted (as in intolerant of others’ opinions).

If someone doesn’t “feel safe” because one woman has expressed an opinion they don’t agree with....good grief, how do they ever leave their house! They could be queuing in Tesco behind someone who doesn’t think women have penises! Cripes!

FloralBunting · 10/08/2020 20:51

Ah, I see they wanted steps towards a full apology and reparations. Did someone send her a big list of all their patreons and PayPal buttons? You know, for her to pay for all the education they are giving her. Fancy an MP just making factual statements about women, knowing other people who support women's rights, and not accepting that these are grievous sins when her overlords tell her about it, with menaces!

Thingybob · 10/08/2020 20:39

Predictably the knives are still out for Rosie.

@Scout2016

Has anyone emailed Keir Starmer or Rosie Duffield? Just wondering if I can expect a reply. Not from them directly but their people maybe.
I emailed them both and my MP but haven't heard back.

I got a reply but it was one of those pro forma things. So I doubt they have read my email. Or perhaps they have but are too busy to send individual replies? Anyway every little helps I suppose.

I haven’t I also emailed him about Lloyd Russell Moyle and did not get a reply.

So pleased that Jess Philips has said this is mysogny. The fact that she is currently getting more criticism on Twitter than Eric Joyce tells you everything you need to know about Twitter.

Oh whoops I didn't read the whole thread, maybe its slightly back tracking?
Nah. It's spot on.

Twitter is not the real world.

Did the Arab spring teach us nothing ?

Wow that Luke Jones Twitter thread is savage.

Choice Labour Party. Keep your "purity" and your Twitterers happy. Or consider what voters actually want.

And LOJ can do one, the snotty little turd-weasel.

Lemonyfuckit · 07/08/2020 15:59

Oh just a massive FFS to all of this bollocks. It's just so depressing. I've emailed my support to Rosie Duffield and cc'd Starmer and said something to the effect of I do hope Labour starts getting sensible and rationale on this given that women do after all make up roughly half of the electorate.

Meanwhile that advert about making sure your tampon is properly inserted and comfortable has been banned in (can't remember whether it was Northern Ireland or Republic of Ireland). I guess because eurrrgh, period, euuurgh isn't the reality of women disgusting when it's not all about sexual fetishes. Can't believe this is the reality in 2020. FFS again.

Needmoresleep · 07/08/2020 14:40

I wonder if there is bit of kite flying by those to the centre of the LP. See how much they can say before Starmer reins them in. See how far the Overton window has shifted?
