Labour member suspended for saying only women go through menopause

In a shock turn of events, Gil received a letter this evening explaining that the initial letter was "an administrative error", he is not suspended and no further action will be taken
I’ll bet you a pound to a penny that if Gil had been a female party member he would not have received that.

Labour have shown complete contempt for women. Dismissing our concerns, ignoring our voices, calling us bigots.
Kier has been such a disappointment and he was the best option of all of them last time around.
I cannot bring myself to vote for them.

OMG thanks for posting MrsHouse - for you

He gave up alcohol this month, I am angry drinking for him.

@TheMenopausalMrsHouse, [flower] to you and your husband. What a horrible stressful situation in, just for stating biological facts.

As our Scottish posters are fond of saying, Aye right.

Wow @TheMenopausalMrsHouse just wow.

It’s impossible to leave the Labour Party anyway. Believe me I’ve tried!

Thank your husband from me too.

I see you, Labour, and you disgust me. And there's a lot of people who see you for what you are, and the bad news is that we are not as stupid or as naive as you obviously think we are. You lost my vote a long time ago and I am no where near being persuaded to give you another chance.

He has had a lot of support from some local activists, and I think it would be fair to say that they are the one reason he would reconsider his resignation. Labour don't deserve it.

Mrs House, thanks for posting here. Well done to both of you. It must have been horrible when the email came.

I really hope this gets some press coverage. People need to know about this and understand what's going on. A journalist would be able to ask questions of the labour party, and it would be lovely if the eejits who reported him found that the story ran and ran.

Please thank him from me also (another ex Labour voter)

@foxgoosefinch the Telegraph doesn't do share tokens, I'm afraid.

Gosh things are bad when someone stating facts get suspended. Labour is such a joke.

Absolutely @merrymouse - trans ideology is completely antithetical to Marxism. It’s a version of market capitalist neoliberalism - eg. if there’s a market for it there’s no moral judgment; in fact self-transformation is an individualist moral imperative.

Trans ideology is more connected to the growth of the plastic surgery industry than it is to any form of traditional left wing or Marxist thought.

I disagree with this part of that Telegraph article.

Trans ideology sits neatly in a smorgasbord of Marxist “solutions” or “demands” that seek not only to disrupt and destroy capitalism, but every other structure that has underpinned society for centuries. Just because.

Marxism requires material class analysis. OJ et al have no interest in that. They just want to protect their tribal affiliations and affirm status.

Trans ideology is based in the American ideal that individuals should be able to do what they want to do without regulation, whether that is own guns or tigers.

@DdraigGoch do you have the full article by any chance?

I am so worried for the future of us women, I live in Wales and it's primarily Labour here.

I think they are in it for the identity of being the righteous, right side of history opposition. They get to maintain their identity as the ideological puritans, who told you so about the evil Tories, without ever having to get their hands dirty and carry the responsibility of making real decisions that have real effects on the country.

Sad to say, I think that is the truth. What happened to all those passionate socialists who were in it to make a real difference for ordinary people?

Imagine if we’d had the present Labour party after the war. We would have no NHS, no welfare state, no modern education system, none of the mighty action against poverty and ignorance …

mrs house please say thank you to your husband.

It is important to acknowledge that only women go through menopause because women can suffer direct and indirect discrimination because of menopause. If you pretend that pregnancy, periods etc. etc. could happen to anyone you lose the language necessary to talk about sex based discrimination.

The Labour Party used to pretend to care about that kind of thing.

Now it seems they expel the people who do.

I'm really sorry to read about your husband. He put his heart and soul into working for his party and look how they treated him. He deserves so much better than that. Wishing you both all the best.
