'Women’s rights are human rights and human rights are non-negotiable. My absolute priority will be to embolden and empower women and girls in every part of the world'

From her speech:

'If you attack women's rights anywhere then you attack them everywhere'.

Previously:

'I think trans women are women and should be accommodated in a prison of their choosing'

She may as well say 'human rights are human rights'.

I mean, great. Well done.

Incoherent flimflam.

Well it depends how she defines "woman" though, doesn't it?

We see you, Lisa. We know you're only changing tack because there's an election in the offing, and these "epiphanies" don't butter any parsnips.

Does she mean actual biological women, or 'legal women'?

PronounssheRa · 10/10/2023 15:33

When she says women, what exactly does she mean?

She's hopeless.

What @BernardBlacksMolluscs and @Helleofabore said.

Yes, this. Waiting for definitions of women, girls, female.... no clarity, no vote.

Has she been asked to walk back her statement about transwomen in women's prisons?

Helleofabore · 10/10/2023 15:22

Again, all these MPs need to be upfront. This is just getting that curated message about 'female' out while there is very much a great deal of ambiguity when they have previously stated GRCs make a person 'female' in their eyes.

While that remains unanswered, I am not going to trust a thing they say. That trust is gone.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 10/10/2023 15:21

If you say fucking stupid things in public people may treat your pronouncements with a certain degree of caution Lisa, just fyi

Cosmosforbreakfast · 10/10/2023 15:21

She hasn't confirmed that women are human biological females so she's probably including transwomen in that statement. Women's rights are for every woman especially the men cosplaying as women, more like.

BoohooWoohoo · 10/10/2023 15:20

Trans rights are human rights is a saying that I never understood. I've only seen actual transphobia (people treating trans people as subhuman) on social media and places like 4Chan even though activists like to make out that GC people are the problem. Trans people are obviously human 🙄

This new quote is silly and meaningless from a party who struggle with the idea of saying that women are adult human females.

Several people in the comments asking her what a woman is.

What's the difference? That just sounds to me like 'if you want women's rights, you have to pretend you think that males can be women'.
