It's basically some waffle around historic labour homophobia building up to the real point which is trying to get Rosie Duffield in trouble for saying men can't be mothers.

The LGBTQ+ community could once rely on Labour as a staunch ally. Not any more | Owen Jones

The party that abolished Thatcher’s hateful section 28 has been pulled into the mire of ‘social conservatism’, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

He does get us posting though. His mum must have given him some crayons.

I'll not say what I wish she'd given him.

Horrible little man. He must be deeply unhappy inside to be so full of hatred for women.

For god's sake when will will the LGB community wake up?
Their association with the T has cost them dearly in public opinion.

She didn't say anything homophobic, she said men aren't mothers.

Mother is an important term that is tied to child safeguarding.

Men are not mothers so she was just stating a fact.

This is why the T needs to be coupled with the LGB. Without drawing on the harms caused to lesbian and gay people the argument can't be made.

Owen needs to rewrite his article, leave out any reference to LGB and make his argument for why men can be mothers if that is something he feels strongly about.

Owen feels women should lose words and spaces and hand them over to men, fine. Make your point lad.

You can let the Readers’ Editor know what you think of his spiteful little article.

All he's got is hate, it's how he makes his living. Just ignore him.

No interest in reading it. Given Duffield’s tweet was only just over 24 hours ago that means he’s outrage-typed the article in a fury and his hatred of women and false arguments will no doubt be poured onto the page. It will be just like all his other women-hating articles.

He is a little weasel that spouts crap.

What a little twerp he is.
