I haven’t seen another thread on this today and I know she must be on here - thank you Rosie!

Rosie on Twitter today:

twitter.com/rosieduffield1/status/1436276236049862661?s=21

Hope that’s a clicky link.

Despite the hate you may be getting Rosie, there is a legion behind you!

If you can’t tweet your support, a short email to Rosie expressing support, will I’m sure, let her know we appreciate her important voice, her email address can be found online.

One of the tweets to Rosie’s response reads:

‘Rosie Duffield MP wants my wife & I to use male toilets. That is going to be very stressful for us.’

If they find it stressful, why oh why do they not understand how women might feel having male bodied people in spaces where women may be vulnerable, I just don’t get this juxtaposition, why is it all about them without any thought to how others feel? Do women’s feelings, vulnerability and worries not matter? I’m all for finding a solution, but a solution which only works one way, which only cares about how one demographic feels doesn’t work for me, that’s just plain wrong.

I think the last "like" that got her in trouble was one where a gay man was angry about the adoption of the word "queer" and something about cosplaying women, which I thought was hilarious. Who on earth is scrutinising her so closely to pick up her every "like" ? It's so creepy.
Anyway, I refuse to do Twitter, so I'd like to give my wholehearted support to Rosie Duffield here ...

Well said as usual Rosie . I owe you big time because Owen Jones blocked me for a comment supporting you!

Liking transphobic tweets....

She liked a tweet that said 'only women have a cervix' for fucks sake. Do people honestly have nothing better to do than comb the 'likes' section of women they don't like to desperately find shit they can fling in the hope that it sticks?

Thank you Rosie Duffield. If only more members of the Labour Party had your courage.

LizzieSiddal · 10/09/2021 17:06

I hope she receives an apology from that lying Tory.

Just goes to show how all the rainbow glitter in the world can't hide the sight of a misogynist telling a woman to keep quiet.
I do hope for the sake of the electorate that he has some other political interests other than his own sexuality, own career, own relationships etc - rivetingly fascinating as they are Hmm

And thank you Rosie Duffield. The majority are behind you.

What an arse that Councillor is.

Thank you, Rosie Duffield! I would have Tweeted but you don't follow me, and neither do many others. You're doing a great job and I know for a fact that you are supported by other female Labour MPs, because mine is one of them. We understand that you're doing this not just for women but also for the future of the Labour Party. Kudos to you.

There is such opprobrium for someone who works to defend the boundaries for women and for gay men and lesbians and well as her support for trans people.

Duffield's courage is remarkable.
