Will Labour introduce Self ID & curb free speech?

I’ve never voted Tory, but as a lesbian woman who plans to have children (and obviously as a woman!) I am and will be part of the three groups most affected by Gender Ideology; women, lesbian and soon I hope a Mother. I am really worried about what happens when Labour takes power. The Tories have been rubbish no arguments there but at least they are finally moving against the steam rolling of Gender Ideology. I’m thinking Labour are not that fiscally different to the Tories and have said they will not cap bankers bonuses and they don’t intend to increase public spending in a significant way.

Really concerned about more gender identity clinics popping up under Labour and Keir Starmer possibly curbing free speech via so - called hate laws (in the feminist circle i run in we all agree this is a euphemism for silencing women about men in female prisons, rape shelters and other areas where women are vulnerable).

wonder what everyone else thinking?

So, just to reiterate for anybody who has just popped in, the Righteous Glorious Future will hopefully include all these Wonderful Measures (except, showing the Generosity of The Righteous) the last one.

It is very fortunate that only 6 nearly-dead old hags in the whole world can recognise the sex of, say, Isla Bryson or Scarlet Blake.

I forgot to ask what the consequences would be for breaking these laws. It would need to be pretty harsh punishment to scare the shit out of the hundreds of thousands of people who believe twam. Would it be straight to jail or would the starting point be more lenient with re-education for first offenders and jail only reserved for the very very naughty women who repeatedly refuse to cooperate. Perhaps they would show leniency for rape victims who accidentally assumed their rapist was male so long as they get it right by the time it’s heard in court. Those poor rapists really find it very difficult indeed when they are mercilessly misgendered.

Trans'women' are men as you well know.

I also think you are taking the piss so am not longer engaging with you.

I'm absolutely serious but if you can't get your head around the concept that's not my problem.

Nothing racist about comparing black women to trans women, as nothing negative about being a trans woman. Black women, white women, Asian women, Latina women, women with disabilities, neurodiverse women, neurotypical women, older women, younger women, cis women, trans women. All just different ways of being women. No value judgements involved.

Men can't be lesbians. Trans women can.

What you call performing femininity, others call being yourself.

You are seemingly unaware of the racist trope of comparing black women to men. Or you are just being disingenuous.

Whichever it is, we both know that transwomen are not any kind of woman and are in fact a subset of men. Black women should not be dragged in to any argument to prop up some pathetic claim that twaw - they are not.

He said white or black women, and he wasn't comparing either to men.

Nothing racist, sexist or homophobic about allowing people to live according to their gender identity

It is however racist to compare black women to males as LOJ did. It is homophobic to say that men can be lesbians. It is sexist to say that any men who performs femininity is actually a woman.

But you know all this - you are on the wind up clearly.

He said white women or black women are different categories of women, just like trans women. I think it's a bit clumsy, as while people have different intersecting aspects to their identities, women are women regardless of both race and trans/cis status. Talk of categorisation isn't useful. But he did not single out black women as different.

The fact that you cannot see that a man telling women that transwomen (men) are ACTUAL women in the same way that black women are women is both hugely misogynistic and racist says a great deal about you sadly.

What's the TERF agenda?

Centring women for once rather than always having to be nice and put men first?

Curious here.

Who published the TERF agenda? Where can I order a copy from?

Yes I would quite like a copy too.

No, we clearly don't have all the power and equality we need, but pursuing the TERF agenda won't help with any of that. It's all so trivial and designed to oppress trans people and put everyone in their place, rather than liberate women.

Nothing racist, sexist or homophobic about allowing people to live according to their gender identity. You appropriate and misuse those words to further your agenda, and it's deeply distasteful.

Gender ideology isn't racist, sexist and homophobic?

Righto there.

Why do you all think cis women should have all this special stuff, just for us, with all this gatekeeping?

Feminism is about equality and inclusion, not segregation. Why do you want this special little club where you get to decide who can be a member? It's infantile.

*Feminism is about equality and inclusion, not segregation)

No it fucking well is NOT - that is not the feminism that I recognise. Feminism is for women and girls - not men.
And why use the laughable 'cis'? You need to do better than this.

It’s pretty straightforward. Owen Jones says he believes that men who claim to be women are actually women. He also says he believes that men who claim to be women should be entitled to compete in women’s sporting events. He also calls women who disagree with him TERFs and transphobes. He also says that men who claim to be women are a sub category of women in the same way that black women are a sub category of women. This is all pretty misogynistic and in the last case a bit racist to boot.

So you do think labour will bring in "hate speech" laws.

What would you like to see included?

Criminalising women who say things like "transwomen are men" perhaps?
Or using pronouns that refer to a person's sex rather than their "gender identity"?
Or maybe someone raising concerns that their child has been groomed online by trans activists?
Or maybe the criminalisation of therapists who say they don't believe in gender identity?
Conversations held in private as well as in public?

So, just to reiterate for anybody who has just popped in, the Righteous Glorious Future will hopefully include all these Wonderful Measures (except, showing the Generosity of The Righteous) the last one.
