Labour candidate suspended for 'transphobia'

I really think all this 'if we just do the right things, then Labour leadership will eventually listen' is really disturbing to be honest. It reminds me of the 'women don't need the vote because they have influence over their husbands votes' argument and the 'if I'm just a nicer person then maybe he'll be nicer to me' argument. It's really anti-woman.

Rapists in women's prisons isn't something to be negotiated. It's a breach of women's human rights, it's cruel and unusual punishment, a woman prisoner got a coil fitted ffs so blatant was the rape threat. It's morally wrong and Labour need to pull their finger out and stop with the 'yes, you can have single 'sex' spaces with Karen White / Katie Dolatowski / Amy Miller allowed because they have a £5 GRC'and '99% of women don't have a penis'.

Labour have been pretty openly anti-women. I can't believe they did nothing about the very blatant male display of aggression to Miriam Cates that LRM displayed - so blatant that another male MP felt he had to go and sit nearby. You have to wonder what would have happened had there NOT been cameras there and it NOT been in the HoC.

You have to wonder if people arguing that we're putting off Labour leadership with our uncompromising stance on women being entitled to human rights and single sex spaces also feel that women in Afghanistan just need to try harder to be nicer to the Taliban too.

The issues are very simple and clear cut. The biological fact of mammalian reproduction and binary sex is clear.

Labour politicians are pretending the emperor has new clothes and are trying to force the population to believe that too via totalitarian control (somewhat limited to Labour councils and certain organisations at the moment as they're not in power), which means they have the capacity to pretend anything and try and impose any anti-science, anti-reality belief on the population as long as they think it's in their own interests. That's dangerous, and we need to speak up as forcefully as we can NOW because once they get into power the harassing of women (and their children) by the police for stating the earth ISN'T flat will only get worse.

“And that we might have more influence over a future Labour government if we hadn't convinced the party that we were going to try and undermine it whatever it does?”

So the way it works is that…

• a Labour MP’s TRA researcher shouting “fascist” at a dad and baby doesn’t count as undermining the Labour Party / undermining TRAs’ influence over a future Labour government
• a TRA male Labour MP visibly trying to intimidate a female MP in the House of Commons doesn’t count as undermining the Labour Party / undermining TRAs’ influence over a future Labour government
• a TRA activist sticking up “don’t vote Labour” flyers on lampposts doesn’t count as undermining the Labour Party / undermining TRAs’ influence over a future Labour government
• a sub-Reddit entitled “UK Labour” slagging off the Labour Party leadership doesn’t count as undermining Labour / undermining TRAs’ influence over a future Labour Government

But in contrast…..

• a female branch secretary who has spent countless weekends doorstep campaigning for Labour for at least seven years is undermining women’s influence over a future Labour government by saying that biological sex is real.
• a forum - which is entitled “feminism”, not entitled “Labour” - is jeopardising Labour women’s/ all women’s influence over a future Labour government by expressing disappointment and concerns about malicious TRA targeting of a female candidate just before the by-election.

In other words: you supplicants had better not do the wrong kind of supplicating or your supplicating will be ignored and if that happens ON YOUR OWN HEADS it will be.

I’m not sure that’s the winning argument in favour of Labour’s attitude to women you think it is, tbh.

Whilst I get that very few people will have detailed knowledge of the Labour complaints process it's frustrating to see people on Twitter who should know better reinforcing the narrative.

Under the independent process mandated by the EHRC Keir Starmer CAN'T just personally intervene in disciplinary cases. If he did then the independent people who oversee the complaints process would reverse any decision he made on the grounds that the original complaint hadn't been properly investigated.

I know the GC movement seems to have convinced itself that Labours consistent two year 15-20 poll is going to mysteriously evaporate in the next six months but wouldn't it be more sensible to assume it won't? And that we might have more influence over a future Labour government if we hadn't convinced the party that we were going to try and undermine it whatever it does?

I had better keep my thoughts to myself about the sheer brass neck of trying to put the blame for this shitshow on women who've been trying to work with Labour over this for years, all the while staying loyal. Let's just say that it's made me very, very cross.

Bottom line: It's always women's (the old-fashioned cunty kind, obv) fault.

Btw don't run away with the idea that I'm talking down Labour because I want another party to win. I don't. There isn't one of them I want in power. I'm a floating voter with middle left political beliefs reaching utter bloody despair,

I'm afraid I don't believe he has any splinters. He is perfectly ok with all this, he is fine with the bullying of women, the totalinarianism, the Orwellian dystopia, he's all for it. He enables this constantly. He's just got enough sense to not actively get involved in the doing of it himself, and thereby leave some illusion of reasonable doubt about how much of a misogynist so and so he is until he's in power and no one can stop him for five years.

I'd truly prefer Boris. At least he's honest with you that he's a total wanker without a grain of ethics or capacity, and has no fucks to give. By their deeds shall ye know them.

And yet there is a group who are trying to work on the inside to influence the party, and Starmer won't even meet with them in public. That tells me a lot.

This isn't about whether you personally agree with Labour or not.

It's about future influence on what is likely to be our next government.

This is all on Labour.

Not the actions of women who are fed up and or annoyed

Starmer has chosen the ‘no one is talking about it’ block head stance. That’s on him too.

Many have spoken up and fulfilled their part of doing what they could.
