Anyone free for a Women's Equality Party hustings in Basingstoke (Hampshire)

I am very concerned at the continuing erosion of women's rights, we are victim to an ideology that is happy to twist the truth and bully and belittle people. Here in Basingstoke, we have a very active Women's Equality Party that infuriatingly pushes that very same agenda and has been openly critical of those of a progressive nature who hold a Gender Critical position. Their candidate was asked to sign the Green Party's Declaration for Women's Sex Based Rights and they were openly hostile to the requester.

They are holding a hustings event on the 6th April and it would be amazing if we could push their candidate on their commitment to real equality for women and ensuring that women are not erased from society in pursuit of an ideological stance. Unfortunately sensible voices are drowned out by those who shout the loudest.

Sign up page is on eventbrite and questions can be emailed in.

I am near Basingstoke, but not in the Basingstoke constituency - I have two issues with WEP - firstly them not recogonising what a woman is and in Basingstoke particularly it looks like Labour actually have a shot at electing their candidate this election. I was a member of Greens when they were trying to get a job share candidate in Basingstoke, but when they went all weird.

How is equality for women eroded by including trans women?

it doesn’t affect equal pay, ending violence against women, equal parental rights etc

i don’t see how any of their objectives can’t be met for all women?

there is a strong correlation between autism and gender identity issues so you’ve got an already vulnerable individual that you’d like to marginalise (and ridicule) even further. Nobody cares about suicide amongst trans individuals. It’s all about women’s safe spaces. How about we fight for EVERWHERE to be safe for EVERYONE or is that to big of an ask so we’ll make a tiny minority suffer.

Men can’t actually turn into women.

HTH.

Because the needs of the many (biological women/girls) outweighs the needs of the few (narcissistic males who are obsessed with invading women's spaces)

Is the WEP main funder still the techie bloke with a trans child?

I didn't even know that, that explains their and her agenda. Really disparaging when it was raised with her.

If anyone is unable to make it, does anyone have some good questions that I can ask to draw her out on that? Or questions can be sent into their hustings email address, hwbhustings 'at' gmail.com

I don't think you have to register to attend to ask a question. Just put the subject as 'Hustings question'.

good luck. you will need it. surely by now the only people left in the Women's Exculpatory Party will be swivel eyed loons?

I don't live anywhere near but have my best wishes. Honestly, the WEP such a disappointment, they had one job!
