Newham Green Party leader storms out of council meeting

For being repeatedly misgendered.

However, listening to the recording, it's clear that the councillor tries very hard to get it right, but struggles with the ensuing grammatical errors it forces him to make.

Were two ns not quite special enough?

IcakethereforeIam · 28/02/2023 19:13

Ffs it's Dannny, it says so in his twitter handle. Just stop it with the all of the gratuitous mis-n-dering.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/02/2023 19:09

That's hilarious Grin

It’s painfully true 😂

I love it!!

Can't help but feel the undertones of racism from the Green Party there. They seem to really enjoy criticising ethnic minorities for bigotry.

Look at all the misgendering in his green party biography.

Literal violets everywhere, maybe Danny should report Danny for discrimination

Genuinely hilarious. The Green Party could be really popular but they are absolutely committed to the gender madness.

Boiledbeetle · 28/02/2023 18:56

I wish I could say I was shocked!

The amount of times I was misgendered at work over the years!

Did I make anyone feel bad about it? No!

One day Danny will grow up, look back at his younger self, and this ‘fuck me, what a self righteous prick I was’.

You're an optimist! It will all be airbrushed out when Danny moves on to whatever Dannyself decides to do next.

Ooh that looks dreadfully unsafe.

I would like to know exactly what danger ensues from referring to a chap who looks like a chap and could cope with referring to himself as he until recently , as "he".

Violets cascading from the skies and bumping the poor lad on the head presumably

- - Glinner Done a bit on this....person. He's been all over the gender spectrum but has consistently been an idiotic narcissist. - -

One of the candidates for the women’s role in London was Danny Keeling. He describes himself as “genderqueer” and doesn’t identify as either male or female…

So, did them get both roles?

Hopefully them did.

I wonder what it would be like to actually be governed by thems? With all their little battles over who call whichthem what, would there be any time for them to deal with budget allocation for any issues other than drag queen story time? Whither potholes, I wonder...

“I’ve been informed that I’ve been misrepresenting the councillor,” Mr Vaughan said. “I should have said ‘them’ rather than ‘he’. So I do apologise for that. And I think that’s what affected him, is it? Them, sorry. So my apologies to him. To them. Sorry.”

This is probably my favourite paragraph in a newspaper ever.

😂

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/02/2023 18:32

Couldn't find the flounce but I thought it was very sad at the end to see the chairman castigating himself for his wrongspeak, vowing to educate himself and to do better.

Was like something out of Maoist China.

I'm sorry, I also left, back when they did a motion to support Drag Queen Story Hour. It was just too absurd, I did let them know when I left.

Understandable @SerotinaPickeler, I hope you told them why.

These twats are going to sink the party though.

A small correction yetanother

You've actually got it the wrong way round - it's easier to say the word that's printed than say the name of the colour of ink. Unless it's in a language you don't know, or written by Judith Butler, in which case the printed word is meaningless to you and you can easily just say the colour instead.

I like the colours of literal violets.

Just read this piece by glinner about yet more Green Party Women elections, I can't keep up! And every time I have to scrutinise the blurb and read between lines to find an actual sane woman to nominate along with some bloke called RON. Helpful mumsnetters gave pointers to how to vote and who to avoid and when to RON but that doesn't happen now.

So, sorry @WarriorN. I joined the GP last time we got excited on FWR about making a difference in the GP to do my bit, but I can't stand the insanity a moment longer. I surrender 🏳️‍

StephanieSuperpowers · 28/02/2023 17:59

I think our non binary trans woman correspondant calls this "existential violence", which I gather is the bad kind. The silencing disobedient women kind is fine

It's called the Stroop effect:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroop_effect

"the Stroop effect is the delay in reaction time between congruent and incongruent stimuli."

You've actually got it the wrong way round - it's easier to say the word that's printed than say the name of the colour of ink. Unless it's in a language you don't know, in which case the printed word is meaningless to you and you can easily just say the colour instead.

Well done, my description was pretty rubbish and like you say, got it arse about face.

usernother · 28/02/2023 17:53

Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/02/2023 17:53

"The misgendered councillor has now left the council meeting, upset at having been misgendered. And has just been misgendered again during an apology about being misgendered"

I did reflect on her tenacity and resilience and extreme desire not to put anyone out.

Against the self centred demands of someone like this.

I’ve thought that about our parents generation. My In-laws being of the never complain, give back to local community and solider on variety. What happens when they’ve all gone?

And, oh yes, I used to think Jordan Peterson was dick’ish but now admire his prescience on the topic.
