Labour canvasser today

Yesterday, the UCI banned transgender women from women's events. So this year, that's cycling, swimming and athletics fighting back against gender ideology. Before this, it was triathlon and rugby. Sports and the debacle in Scotland over Isla Bryson is highlighting what this gender business actually means in real life (not on the Internet). Imo, Starmer will just quietly drop "trans stuff " and get on with the economy, NHS, etc etc first. Which would be great, again imo.

You will find it impossible to fight. Look what has happened.in Scotland where no regard whatsoever.is given to women's views. Starmer is in thrall to the trans movement in the same way as Sturgeon was.

Thank you @Rudderneck ,very interesting.

Mandated pronouns [shudder] 😐

Politicians lie all the time. How can she not realise what your views are and just lie to get your vote. So much hubris to believe they don't need your vote because their view on this matter is more important.

That too

And the no one is talking about it buggers

Ladies and Gentlemen! Before your very Eyes! I present to you the Amazing Wes Streeting! Just five, yes Five, years ago he was the witchfinder general, seeking out and destroying Gender Critical members of the Labour Party but Now! Through the miracle of Transmogrification, no less! He has transformed himself into the very modern model of a modern reasonable Person. (Applause).

I prefer the openly TWAW ones to disingenuous twunts who pretend to support women's rights, while covertly trying to purge the Party of GC women.

Labour TWAW men are so bloody depressing

I am so disappointed in Wes Streeting. He comes across well and seems to talk sense but then I find out what a nasty piece of work he has been, and yet he has the gall to talk about women having been gaslit on gender. Yes, Wes, by you! Own it and apologise.

Wes Streeting was part of a secret FB group, to drive GC women out of the party. He is a sinister little shit and a liar to boot.

Welcome to the other side of that, society-wide:

They are a single issue voter

Raise it on twitter raise it publicly raise it loud the more sunlight the better im blacklisted from being canvassed apparently they go to one neighbours house then around to my others im clearly there they cross the road to avoid me my crime? Asking if they support rapists being put into women's prisons asking if its policy to lock up victims with perpetrators do they lock up male rapists with men? In general population? Or do they isolate them? Kind of questions 🤔

I can't believe you'd vote Tory just because of that after everything they've done? All the lies during the pandemic, the chronic underfunding of the NHS and schools, the racism and general ineptitude?

Our labour canvasser and MP candidate in the next elections was apoplectic with rage and talked over me. His main point being "it's not like in the daily mail". I followed up with an email giving my concerns and saying how uncomfortable he had made me by talking over me on my own doorstep.
The none apology that I received back had Russell Moyle undertones. I'm not sure how deliberate that was as I'd mentioned him in my email.

The woman with him at least mentioned changing rooms but he didn't give either of us chance to speak on that issue.

I second your opinion of Boris eyeball, but will Keir be a feeble ninny, unable to say “boo” to Momentum?

Tbf boris was finally booted out by his own party because he was vacuous lying narcissistic sociopath who couldn’t be trusted to run a bath let alone a country

not because he erred on the side of being GC

I’d like Starmer to get off the fence and stop deflecting

At least we can assess actual policy

My prediction is issues around immigration will become very different in the coming years, and not just for the U.K.

I’m looking forward to hearing KJK debating with Keir Starmer. I imagine journalists are feeling the same way.

It's quite different than the UK.

We are starting, finally, to see some awareness of the issues in society in general. For a long time there was almost no reporting at all, so public awareness was non-existent.

What's going on in the US and UK has now somewhat punctured that bubble, although there is really only one news outlet that really follows it.

But the legal element is significant. Gender identity is protected in hr legislation in most if not all provinces, things like use of pronouns are mandated. Which all makes reporting openly, complaining at work, or in a school, more difficult. How these would play out if challenged in court isn't a sure thing, but the courts have a lot of power compared to the UK, including throwing out legislation. At the moment the judiciary seems very captured, as is education, health, and the civil service (which had a drag contest for employees last year.) Education too.

There is also the "conversion therapy" ban which makes it very scary for a parent to access any mental health care for their teens.

Recently, there was one premier, in New Brunswick, who is leader of the provincial Tory Party, who has tried to bring in a law outlawing schools transitioning pupils without informing parents. There has been a huge backlash in the media, including within his own party - he may well lose the leadership over it. It seems to be taken for granted that schools should keep secrets from parents. GSL clubs are common, even at the elementary level, and seem to mainly be a place for kids who don't fit in to feel welcomed.

I don't think if Labour get in they'll go full twaw (I do think there is a higher chance that they might if they go into coalition with the LDs). My guess is they'll go for some kind of compromise position that annoys people on both sides of the debate.

I'll vote Labour because while I am angry at their position on women's rights, I feel there is more to hate about the Tories' policies: my recently hiked up mortgage payments (cheers Liz, i won't forget that in a hurry), their stance on migrants and the hateful Rwanda policy, what they are doing to the HE sector and the NHS...you name it. Yes I think Miriam Cates is impressive on safeguarding and women's rights, but I heard her on R4 recently on the subject of immigration and her views on this are unhinged IMHO.

"Safe" spaces should be a red flag. I'm in Germany where debate is currently ongoing about Self-ID, and one of the ploys used by transactivists is reducing everything to a debate about safety in public spaces (with all the usual bingo card stuff, danger rears its head at home/it's all "cis" men, yada yada.) Thus neatly sidestepping whether or not - as would be the case under current law - women should have a right to PRIVACY in public spaces. Especially those involving nudity, such as communal showers and changing rooms, with the former being the absolute norm for gyms or municipal swimming pools.

Liz Truss has been clear from the off that she knows what a woman is.

They are just fobbing us off I suppose. The BBC had Stephen Nolan do that enquiry into the BBC and Stonewall but what has changed as a result?

Well I think Boris came to agree with her hence why they backed off the Conversion Therapy thing and that 'Safe To Be Me' Conference was cancelled by the (LGB)T side who threw their toys out of the pram when Boris correctly changed to say it would cover sexual orientation but not gender identity.
If you hadn't noticed Boris and Liz were both mysteriously knifed by their own parties...one over a crap sandwich and piece of cake which no one would shut up about... and both were PM at the time.
It does make you wonder who is behind these dark forces at work against women's rights and child safeguarding. It can't all be down to Theresa May and Penny 'TWAW' Mordaunt can it?
