"Anyone nastily trying to diminish Lia Thomas's incredible achievement because of lazy transphobia should frankly pipe down. Huge congratulations to her.'"

Well, I'm convinced. I'm packing up my women's rights and fucking off into the glorious new world.

Pipe down you bigots!

On a flight to Gibraltar to commemorate remembrance day got so pissed she had to use a wheelchair to leave the airport

Oh right - I thought I remembered the name. Now I know why.

I’m entering all the Y2 races at the next primary school sports day. I’m going to tell everyone to pipe down and stop diminishing my amazing achievements (when I inevitably win) with their lazy ageism.

@FunnyTalks

Wow. Thick and nasty.

How the fuck did she become an MP?

Who knows, she seems awful

She distributed leaflets which pledged to deal with "Traveller incursions".

On a flight to Gibraltar to commemorate remembrance day got so pissed she had to use a wheelchair to leave the airport. She blamed a mix of medication and alcohol. Whatever the case, massively unprofessional.

We really do have the most awful bunch of MPs.

A democratically elected leader telling the populace to sit down and shut up? Awesome.

OhHolyJesus · 23/03/2022 07:45

Labour really don't want to be elected do they?

If you read the rest of her comments you'll see she's one of those irritating people who like to tell us we're aiming at the wrong target, as in 'why don't you campaign for X instead of Y?' She thinks we should be fighting sexual harassment & sexism in swimming.

Charlotte: what do you think males entering female competitions is, if not sexism? And what is a penis in a women's changing room if not sexual harassment?

@Aquafizzle

I've written to her to complain about her complete disregard for women in sport. I'd like to see how long she maintains this line when her female voters walk away. Worth your career Charlotte?
Could she be getting something better from the pharmaceutical giants who engineer the hype around trans surgeries?

Yet another reason to despise Labour as they continue to throw women under the bus

LemonSqueezy0 · 23/03/2022 07:11

I will write to her too, and KS /the LP too. Every single time. I want to make sure that comments like this are not allowed to slide by without registering my discontent.

I encourage everyone to do the same.

CheekyMaw · 23/03/2022 07:06

@RVN123 same . Who does she think she is ? She sounds like a prefect . 🤬It is utter madness.

It's the use of the term "pipe down" I think, that really angers me.
It's smacks of subjugation, submissiveness, rolling over to please men.

You know, like we've been trying to fight against for decades.

Pipe Down, be kind, shut up.
Ignore the red flags, ignore that these women are potentially being mistreated in their own changing rooms, ignore the vast biological advantages, ignore the complete and utter unfairness of it all.

Pipe down.
She should be totally ashamed of herself.

What a stupid thing for her to say. She's prepared to alienate voters in her UK constituency in order to support someone on a other continent. And just how is a 6'+ well-built young man beating women 'an incredible achievement'?

We need to use her 'just pipe down' against her - when she's knocking on doors, kissing babies whatever during the run up to the next general election she should be met with 'just pipe down' everywhere she goes.

Yes, "cis women" should just accept this.
