Today’s witch burning - Rosie Duffield MP

Are my posts invisible or something

This is just ridiculous. Keir needs to get a handle on it soon otherwise Boris will be retaining that 80 seat majority at the next election too.

Even those members of public that think this whole debate is a nonsense storm in a teacup can see how stupid it makes MPs look.

Fake? So she didn't tweet this?

Yet again, it seems only women are being erased...

Like I said, I think it might be this one she is saying is fake.

Fake? Really?

Thank you, too, for such a thoughtful and considered post. You aren't at all alone. Most of us are still in shock that this is the reality for women in 2020. Most of us assumed all was well for a long time, as this geared up; that this was just a modern civil rights movement we didn't quite understand, but that overall, it was progress for humanity. And then one day you stumble across something you can't ignore, and then you start to pay attention, and then the whole edifice collapses and you realise what it really is about. Not rights for one group, but the bullying and forcing of women's rights into a place where they cease to have any real meaning. Trans rights is just a Trojan horse. I can't help but suspect that a lot of MPs of all stripes know it, but are too terrified to say anything. Which is exactly why hatefuelled pile-ons such as this are happening - to ensure nobody else speaks up. Bystanders are intended to be too intimidated to speak out. That's the aim. To police ideas, never mind speech, and ensure that only the interests of people born male are given weight.

It's really sad, isn't it, that this naked abuse and then constant DARVO is simply allowed to happen and most senior figures are just too frightened to speak out. And the rage and hatred aimed at any women who don't eagerly cheerlead... I'm sorry, but anyone who doesn't recognise this as terrifyingly emboldened misogyny really can't be paying attention.

Millions of women are missed from cervical screening because of fear, being from a BAME community or lack of education. That's women are being actively harmed by pandering (and it is pandering) to a tiny subset of women who would prefer to be male. Given these transmen have lengthy conversations with their HCPs bout their primary and secondary sex characteristics, I think it's very unlikely they are unaware.

Let's be honest - this is nothing to do with excluding transmen from and everything to do with ensuring the word women doesn't exclude men.

I have to ask again, how do you know? How do you know if you are a person with a cervix?

It can't be if you have a vagina. We know, beyond doubt, that many people born male have a vagina now.

So what is the criteria???

That might be the one I referred to above calling her constituents shorty

Its fake? What?

Thanks for the link to the Labour LGTB statement.
Over to you, Keir. I'll wait.

"Peace and socialism" except when it comes to women eh Sarah? twitter.com/Sarah_Cundy/status/1289292013532192769

Can't find it now. Perhaps he deleted. There's a screenshot now of RD calling her constituents "shitty" (don't knowing real or not) which won't help at all.

Yes, I saw one, a man, but can't remember his name now. Will see if I can find it.

I've emailed Rosie, Kier and my local MP. I've said how discriminatory it is against women with EAL, learning difficulties and low literacy.
I'm so fucking pissed off. Why are we having to waste all our time and energy on this war?

"Inclusive language harms nobody and costs little; it is a simple act of support for trans people in a political culture that is increasingly hostile towards us."

The dishonesty of this movement is appalling. "Please lie because a tiny minority of us can't cope with reality."

Frome Trans Labour's statement: We need education

Yes you do dear.

I've just emailed in support, copying in Keir Starmer and my nightmare kool aid loving, Corbynite Labour MP Marsha de Cordova.

And do you know what? She's parroted "TWAW" along with the best of Labour women MPs - it's still not enough. It's never enough.
Oh, has she?
Well in that case she will probably apologise with an ‘I will educate myself’ thrown in.

Well done Rosie. We need more people to stand up and tell the truth.

To this end we reiterate our desire to engage with the party and its leadership to discuss how Labour can address the rising tide of transphobia and build a party that genuinely supports trans people
Is pointing out that Transwomen are at risk of prostate cancer
and Transmen at risk of cervical cancer
part of that rising tide ?

That Labour LGBT statement will of course be left wing gay men policing women - as usual.

Won’t twitter just delete her account now? It’s against twitter terms of service to misgender people. There is an alternative called parler she could use?

How many transmen are there? Two thousand? Furious people demanding sackings over a word because of two thousand females with dysphoria.

It's insanity.
