Today’s witch burning - Rosie Duffield MP

Oh dear, Labour are broken. Starmer must be hoping this goes away because as previously mentioned, Kent is Tory central and Lab lost loads of their northern seats so it appears they’re determined to lose Canterbury as well

I missed those twitter links when they were posted, and now they are gone? Or is it just me?

This is a bit of an aside but

Does anyone agree that because the Stonewall umbrella now encompasses just about everyone who isn't female it will eventually eat its own head

Foy refers to Heather Peto as Heather and Rosie Duffield as Duffield.

The little tells.

I noticed from that missive/tirade from Foy, how Foy refers to Heather Peto as Heather and Rosie Duffield as Duffield.
Very telling IMHO.

That Leeds labour society are an absolute car crash of a twitter account aren't they? 🙄

CLP Officers signing petitions or open letters which reference transphobic dogwhistle terms like “single sex spaces”.

It's embarrassingly pathetic. They seriously need to get a grip. They think that's transphobic?? How on Earth do they cope leaving their homes when they're so eager to find offence in absolutely everything? It must be exhausting.

It's like they're determined to render the word 'transphobic' meaningless. All it's likely to get is an eye roll, which is a huge injustice to people who really are/have been victims of genuine transphobia.

deciding an actual legal term like "single sex spaces" is a transphobic dogwhistle

It's been mentioned on here before, but TRAs massively overuse and misuse the term "dogwhistle". If you want to label as transphobic something that quite obviously isn't transphobic, then you claim it's a "dogwhistle". It's pathetic and despicable.

So common I'd say it was a feature not a bug.

I'd agree.

I know this is overused, but it really is Orwellian - the attempt to subvert language, so that even reasonable protections, enshrined in law, are made unreasonable. It's all so manipulative and by the time reasonable people catch up damage has been done.

Yes, it's quite scary the extent to which this is happening.

Chances of being elected -NIL.

Leeds Labour Party?

Would that be the same Leeds as the Managed Approach Leeds, by any chance?

Quelle surprise.

Foy is absolutely anti-women. Which is odd for someone who claims to be one.

I followed that link to K Foy's letter to Starmer. Foy is looking to be elected to the Labour NEC so Foy can make sure complaints about transphobia are taken seriously.

One of Foy's points is

So, a TRA who is positioning themselves to be able to discipline women MPs for having the temerity to expect the provisions for women in the Equality Act 2010 to be upheld.

[quote Winesalot]Whoever was doing the Leeds Labour Society Twitter last night probably should feel rather embarrassed but most likely will feel aggrieved at women telling him to actually get some knowledge before tweeting rubbish.

He had no knowledge of the EA wording, let alone the provisions. And at one point (screenshots were taken before deletion) saying something like biological sex did not matter at all. And later that any provisions for female specific needs were bigoted and transphobic.

And told Dr JCJ she obviously didn’t understand gender.

I'm going to assume that account is run by a 12 year old. Talk about embarrassing yourself with a lack of knowledge about anything.

Fifeteen I know it's not LP policy but the silence on the subject from KS is deafening and with each passing incident where he gets even more creases in his arse from fence sitting, the more he alienates women.

True he has to do a fine balancing act, but the plate spinning can't be maintained for much longer
