Starmer: "trans-inclusive" conversion therapy ban, "modernise" the GRA, all hate crime to be aggravated offences as part of making every child "proud and confident"

This crap makes it embarrassing to be an L because people think we’re part of this….!!!

I also think there is a personal reason for him to do this. I'm the sister of a politician (not in the UK), there is no way my brother would ever commit an unforced error like this one unless he really utterly believes it.

Exactly my thought when I read the op. Nevermind the children with cancer no we're going to focus on mutilating healthy genitals for trans. Surely it's discrimination to prioritise someone just because they're LGBT?

Starmer "It's wrong to say only women have a cervix" - September 2021.

He told us who he is then. Why are people surprised now? The question is: is he stupid in which case he's not fit to be PM, is he a hypocrite, in which case he is not fit to be PM or is he cynical and targeting the young in which case he's just being your usual morality-free politician. I'm leaning towards all three.....

What I've never got an evidenced-based answer to is who exactly started this ideology and why? We can postulate anything from big pharma to perverts at the seat of power globally and everything in between, but until we really understand the sinister powers behind the throne, we will struggle to defeat it.

What does ‘modernise the GRA’ even mean?

Thanks for coming out with it Starmer. You are the woman-hating nutjob I took you for.

I actually like my Tory MP, so that relieves a bit of the guilt I feel in voting for the party on this issue!

And there was me thinking that he'd wait until after an election win before he showed his true colours.

Looking at our local lot, I'll be spoiling my ballot. I just cannot ever vote Tory.

I've never voted Tory in my life but I will next time. Respect my sex if you want my X

I'm on sickness benefits. Poor as they come an dim considering voting Tory for the first time in my life.

My daughter has already been dragged into this gender questioning nightmare.

It's needs to end.

Yep voting against Labour now. Hoping there will be an independent and - ideally - party of woman candidate so I don't actually have to vote Tory, but will do so if I have to.

Obviously the lib dems are even worse than labour. Apparently it's actually a con / lib dem contest here and quite close. I quite like the lib dem candidate and I suspect he's not intent on destroying women's rights as he has daughters that he seems to care about but whilst the lib dem stance is outright denial of reality, destruction of safeguarding and women's rights, I don't have a lot of choice.

Well at least it’s out there and all those posters telling us Labour will be good for women’s rights are kaput

“We’ll cut NHS waiting lists for LGBT+ people waiting for urgent physical and mental health care."

this really upsets me. We have lost one family member to butchered cancer treatment and one friend to suicide. Neither were part of LGBTQ+. Apparently they don’t matter.

I have daughters, I will have to hold my nose and vote Tory as well.

Everyone knows that LGBT+ is code for T.

I wish they’d be honest about that, unless they’re actually saying I can walk into A&E, announce that I’m lesbian & jump the queue. Which would obviously be completely ridiculous.

It's nonsense isn't it?
Will I just have to announce that I'm bisexual to get seen sooner for urgent treatment?

I can be a gay man if that's quicker?

And are they telling us there's nobody desperate enough to coach their struggling, mentally unwell child "Tell them you might be the opposite sex and you'll get help quicker"

I'm trying to think of a healthcare situation where a self-selecting group (i.e. no measurable criteria like there were for COVID jabs for over 65s) have been prioritised for treatment.

I'm not shocked but I'm a bit disappointed; I was hoping they'd consider us women. So, no I won't be voting them and will actively vote against them now.

Nope not voting labour this time. Did hold my nose and do so time…not that it will make much difference. I live in a Tory stronghold.

Tory voter here I come, I never thought I'd live to see this day.

Does anyone know whether there have been any developments on the plans to set up the website showing all candidates response to the question 'What is a woman'? It was reported in the Telegraph last September.

God dreading this

I want to vote Labour, I really do, but I can’t support a party where the leader takes the position that a man can be a woman, I simply can’t. I know that’s a privileged position to be in but I blame Labour for putting me in this position.

Nope, you don't get to tell anyone how to vote. Fuck off with that.

You want to be angry about people voting Tory? Be angry with Labour for being impossible to vote for.

And there was me thinking that he'd wait until after an election win before he showed his true colours. But no, he's gone balls deep now, including intimation that trans healthcare will get some sort of priority, it'll be easier to obtain a GRC, affirmation-only will be the only accepted outcome for a child who says they're trans, and women's rights, safeties and identities will be shafted from here to Christmas.

Slipperier than a greased weasel.

I certainly wont be voting Labour or Lib Dem over this issue. We need more secure housing association tenancies; GP surgeries are businesses now and the health of our children was f**d by the lockdowns. I wish we had a party that really stood up for the health and well being of women and children.
