Stunning and brave Republican comes out as a woman of colour

Surprisingly, the reaction from left wing activist types has been less than supportive, and they are not affirming Ryan's identity.

I mean, he's actually trolling, but this is essentially exactly what the British MP chap did recently! The Welsh one, can't remember the name. No change in presentation, no change in pronouns or name. Just asking to be accepted as trans from that point on.

IIRC his pronouns were I/ run/ from/ car/ accidents.

Thanks for the update @ArabeIIaScott

QuintanaRoo · 01/05/2023 13:53

Acceptance without exception

isn’t that what Stonewall said?

Jamie Wallis' last speech, on Hansard, for the sake of completeness:

@Boiledbeetle I didn't link because of my technical ineptitude, but this may do it? https://fb.watch/kf8f1hMLUU/ Maybe.

Other than the change in pronouns, why is Ryan(girl) any different from Gregor Murray? Both are politicians claiming a trans identity. Why should one be accepted as trans and the other be mocked?

Is it because Gregor has a beard?

Thank you.

This guy is a star. I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out 😁

Maybe if Ryan grew a beard they'd be more accepting?

“You don’t get to question me,” he said directly to the audience. “You do not get to require proof from me. You were part of the movement to help establish these rules and set the bar. Okay? You don’t get to come later when someone else joins your club that you don’t want in.”

Perfect response.

Good for him. We actually do need men making this point and getting people talking about it. That’s what satire is for.

This the same Jamie Wallis who ran a sugar daddy website?

Proof that the Tories know what women are...

The Tories do pick 'em. Wasn't Corinne Stockheath the first trans MP? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps#Business_ventures

Wow. Ryan (f) is stunning and Brave and has indeed pulverised so many glass ceilings in his embrace of his true Authentic self.

Note: he did not say he is trans. He says he identifies as a «woman of color».

A bit like that Norwegian bloke who identifies as a wheelchair using woman.

I am beside myself with admiration for possibly one of them.

FrancescaContini · 01/05/2023 10:18

ArabeIIaScott · 01/05/2023 09:26

Yes. He also issued a statement in January about his trans status, in which he complains that :

'we now live in a country where there is greater clarity on the movement of a packet of beef around the UK than there is for a trans person with a GRC'.

Poor chap. He really doesn’t have much going on in his life to make “complaints” like that.

Go Ryan! First lesbian, woman of colour - yet had to hide these characteristics in order to be elected.

So much I'm enjoying about this thread.

I'm so glad Ryan has been empowered to reveal his true self. (Before anyone calls for this post to be deleted for misgendering, Ryan uses he / him pronouns.)

He’s being a dick.

When one doesn't have a valid argument, one resorts to ad hominem (ad feminin?) attacks. This case is a perfect example. Well done!

ArabeIIaScott · 01/05/2023 09:33

It seems Jamie has grown and dyed his hair.

More to the point, here he is talking on Cyber Security.

'I was very pleased to have secured another debate as to why we urgently need to reform the Computer Misuse Act. The 33-year-old Act needs to be amended to bring our cyber-security capabilities into the 21st century.
Online threats continue to increase since I last spoke out on this issue. Consequently, I welcome that the Government has committed to implement Sir Patrick Vallance's technology review and introduce a statutory defence.
Currently specialists acting in the public interest, on issues critical to our national security, risk being designated a criminal. The sooner a well-considered defence is added to the Act, the sooner we can unlock the great potential that such changes would entail for the economy and our safety!'

Comments:

'by complete coincidence, don't that company who provided you with an interest free loan specialise in this area of business?'

'luckily, companies such as Fields Data Recovery (which I am in no way suggesting is a conflict of interest) will be well equipped to deal with any extra work generated from implementing new legislation.'

Lockheart · 01/05/2023 09:32

While I don't think it's the most productive way to address the issue, it did make me smile...

ArabeIIaScott · 01/05/2023 09:28

Oh, sorry, missed the following sentence:

'This situation risks exposing all of us as ridiculous'.

Jamie also tweets his approval for Jane Fae.

I am pleased to say that this still holds even when the transperson is being a dick. We don't get to doubt people's identities just because we don't like them or the party they stand for.

Exactly. TWAW and "people are who they say they are" holds true whether it's (a) a lovely person who just wants to pee, (b) someone who's a bit of a dick, or (c) someone with a history of committing violent crimes against women.

Good for her/him/insert meaningless pronoun of your choice here - #blackpower #bekind #allpowertothemen

I love the fact that no-one feels they have to be defined by their natal sex or colour these days. If she/he/other meaningless pronoun also decides to identify as disabled then I will support that too 🙌

Not wanting to derail but I was wondering whether the Trans MP Jamie Wallis is claiming to be Trans despite not altering a single thing? It’s all gone very quiet since his car crash, both literally and metaphorically. I know he was being investigated by the authorities for some dodgy business dealings.

He's on the Women's and Equalities Select Committee.

In an ideal world everyone should just ignore this stupid fucker. What an utter bellend.

In an ideal world no one would believe that humans can change sex.
