Boris Speaks!

I think Johnson would have rather not said anything, preferring to watch from the sidelines while Labour destroyed itself. But the overreach of Stonewall, and the perfect storm of issues, meant he had to comment.

He's actually done Labour a favour, as they will have to face this issue head-on, and stop ignoring the rights of the majority of the fucking population. We might even be able to go back to voting Labour one day soon.

Well done BoJo for speaking out. There will plenty of wobblers being thrown tonight

tim seems very sad that we won't vote for erasure. Very sad indeed.

He doesn't give a fuck about women's rights

Actually freckles I think he does care, not because his heart swells with compassion for women but because he knows this is a major issue for 51% of the population! Labour seems to lack any awareness of the grass roots anger about this - and moreover Johnson has now placed himself directly in the line of fierce fire to make a clear point he intends to back us.

Starmer is still scratching his balls trying to work out what a woman is, so forgive me, but out of the two I am backing the party that can at least recognise I am a woman!

And just a timely reminder for the people in this thread who think Labour cares. They fucking don't.

Tony Blair invented evidence that took us into a war in Iraq which killed over a million people.

He doesn't give a fuck about women's rights. So be warned don't think you are doing women any favours by keep the Tories in.

So, vote for the party which states quite clearly that they won't stand up for women's sex-based rights, rather than the party who is at least listening to what women want and says they will uphold women's rights. Gotcha.

Some women don't want misogyny made a hate crime, as it can be used against women speaking out against males in women's spaces.

Think it's really sad that so many people are going to vote for the future of this country based on this one news story. Just words out of a liar's mouth.

One of the usual TRAs who come on here to tell us off on the regular, recently said that GC feminists had never had a "big win" and that we'd ultimately lose. This and the clarification around single sex spaces from the EHRC this week feel like pretty big wins

Most of the GC women I know and on here are/were hardcore Labour voters, party members and campaigners.

Why is doing the opposite of what women want better to you

[quote Bolets]@LookMoreCloselier clearly, it's not a non-issue to the posters on this thread? Do you think likening women with serious concerns to 'gammons' is an effective tactic to bring them to your view?[/quote]
They never learn that they need to win people who have voted differently over...and think insults will do it. Even people I know in real life try this tactic. It fails every time.

I certainly wouldn’t dream if calling you a name for the way which you choose to vote/not vote.

This is the message I'm getting from the thread and it reflects what I see real life. Maybe I'm biased but I get the mainstream of the right in the UK saying that you're free to vote for who you want, while in the mainstream of the left in the UK there seem to be plenty of people who say that if you don't vote for our tribe you are a bad person. I cannot express quite how off-putting this is for me as someone who used to lean left.

The take away from this is Boris is a populist. Therefore the pollers must have worked out that this is a populist view of right-wingers or potential Tory voters. He doesn't give a fuck about women's rights. So be warned don't think you are doing women any favours by keep the Tories in. Their track record is poor.

Time to scrap that TV licence .

I think it is the extreme position pf stonewall and mermaids etc Charley to so casually ignore the dangers and risks to others, including children.

It is as if no one outside the trans sphere counts at all.

They have lost so much support in the process, most of us were open and committed to the idea of trans having a dignified, meaningful lives. Now they are obliterating all support by being so extreme and by wilfully harming others. It will not end well for them. They have done untold damage to their own movement, its creditability and its acceptability. It is actually grossly unfair to the trans people that do not believe women should come to harm and simply want to lead a normal life. It is now a PR disaster that is only growing and snowballing as more and more women (and men) wake up to the danger and loss of rights.

Let's hope this gets BBC and Channel 4 reporting honestly on the situation.

Angela, you would think as a working class girl like myself would see through this bullshit and call it out, she is exactly the type of gobby woman we were talking about upthread that would be calling this out.

I wonder what made her shut up and vote for her own annihilation instead? I genuinely intend to ask her if I can. Can you walk me through how you have arrived at such an extreme position. I might also ask her how much she was paid? As surely turkeys do not vote for Christmas, so this turkey seems to have an incentive no?
