People tend to vote either for a party whose policies will directly affect them, or, for a party whose values align with their own. And in a perfect world, those two things would be the same. But in this, they're not.
Most feminists are shocked that Labour Party isn't getting this. And that's where the disconnect comes in supporting Tories, however reluctantly, because they do.
It's my impression that trans ideology isn't at the forefront for Julie. Her campaigning against male violence, and her experience of women who have suffered because of it, is probably a far more palpable issue to her.
When you've got a bloody and broken woman, almost insensible with pain, in front of you, it will take priority. And of course, there are similar women who are being affected by the trans issue. But that's the nature of priorities, you have to pick one.
What I do find slightly encouraging, in the weirdest way possible, is people coming in here trying to divide women by almost constantly yelling 'well, do you agree with this thing she did, that way she votes, what about this person she knows? Eh? Eh? Do you, do you??'
They're shit scared that women uniting together, is having an effect. Julie Bindel just got a ton of support over the Nottingham debacle. Well, can't have that, can we? Let's stick the knife in.
Well I'm fucking taking the knife out.
Julie Bindel can think or say what she likes about politics which are important to her. I think she's doing a brilliant and mentally crushing job. And I suspect we will vote differently.
