Labour infighting over trans issues reignited by Cass Review

What is clear is that the Tories were listening. It's a under Sunak that the reports have been published, and various government bodies have quietly left Stonewall.
Even Boris Johnson is GC and had said so.

For those not on twitter Sarah Sultana MP said

"The Cass Review has provoked significant debate and concern.

I believe the focus must be on ensuring everyone – including young trans people – has access to the healthcare they need.

To achieve this, we must understand the context in which this review is published.

For example, a UN expert recently noted "deep concern" about "increased bias-motivated incidents of harassment, threats & violence against LGBT people" in the UK.

They said "the toxic nature of the public debate surrounding sexual orientation & gender identity” was to blame

Transphobic hate crimes hit a record high last year.

This hatred is spread by the politicians and the powerful – just think of Rishi Sunak's recent transphobic jibe at PMQs while Brianna Ghey's mother was in Parliament.

So as well as having concerns about the Review – though I believe some recommendations could be positive – I also believe there must be a collective emphasis on combating transphobia.

We will only provide the care everyone needs if we respect the rights and dignity of all."

I think I can't remember where I read it, that the membership tended to be disproportionately concentrated in the safer Labour seats, rather than more closely fought ones. Meaning that people leaving the party and presumably then staying at home/protest voting are less likely to be able to make a difference anyway.

They probably will lose a smattering of seats over Gaza, but not enough to have any real impact, even if its still going on by the GE. And I can't see the trans activists having even that relatively low level of influence. There aren't too many people who care enough to change their vote because of it, and they'd have to live at concentration even if there were.

Ultimately I have a very low opinion of politicians and have decided that I care more about what they actually do than about what their motivations are.

I'd rather elect a complete arsehole who implements policies I agree with for the wrong reasons than a nice person who implements terrible policies for the right reasons.

If Wes Streeting is now identifying as gender critical because he wants to be the heir to Blair, fine, whatever, I'll vote for that.

But not until it's clear that that's what I'm voting for.

Hah!

That's how I originally started typing out that sentence but decided it was too long.

Brother, Connor was still tweeting up til 2023:
https://x.com/madigan_smurf looks like most of his connections are bots but there could be a bread crumb trail to LM’s new self if anyone can be asked to look for it.

2018 is so quaint-looking, from here in 2024.

2 of these ‘transwomen’ have been embroiled in sexual abuse scandals and the 3rd currently works for one of the trans led ‘pilot’ GICs that NHS England will
now be looking into.

Mmmm the reverse ferreting of Streeting goes no where near far enough for me.

As Datun said upthread he and they all knew what Cass was going to say because they'd been told by women.

And still many of them, Whittome and Rayner, are coming out with pro-trans anti/ woman/ children statements. Surely after all this they still don't believe in the 'wrong puberty'?

Yes, I'm aware of the above. -just haven't been able to find any recent info. I suspect, as someone has said, he's already detransitioned and is now going by another name.

I suspect you might be bang on with this!

@MissScarletInTheBallroom

I think Wes Streeting is also now reading the writing on the wall and realising that Keir "1% of women have a penis" Starmer, Lisa Nandy, Angela Rayner, Nadia Whittome, David Lammy, Stella Creasy and all the others who have said absolutely batshit insane things and dismissed all non-believers as bigots do not have the backing of the public.

I hope you don't mind that I've edited your post for amusement clarity.

Lisa "trans women are women [and] should be in the prison of their choosing" Nandy.

Angela "it doesn't matter [if trans double rapist Isla Bryson] has a penis" Rayner.

Nadia "unrepentant transphobes [etc.]" should be expelled" Whittome.

David "dinosaurs hoarding rights" Lammy.

Stella "a woman can have a penis" Creasy.

Vile creep.

I swing between thinking they are still Lily but off all SM due to being an idiot, and they've detransed and changed name but still somewhere harassing women for kicks

Info on pre ‘Lily’ activity here.

Liam Madigan

IURC he sued/tried to sue his school when he transitioned for not letting him change with the girls 🤮

What was his name before the 'transition' - anyone know?

Blair is still so much more politically savvy than Starmer.

Streeting behaved appallingly. I would love to believe in his change of heart but suspect he is just hoping to be seen as the new PM and is MUCH smarter than Starmer so he can see which way the wind is blowing.

Not entirely true. https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/sep/29/labour-conservatvies-uk-party-membership-is-tiny

Historically the Conservatives have had many more members. Probably why they were able to be more successful at understanding people's needs and appealing to the electorate.

2019 Tweet thread on allegations against LM:

<happysigh>

My favourite unsubstantiated personal theory is that Madigan ditched the pinafores for a grey suit and is now a trainee accountant in somewhere like Slough and his fellow grey suits have no idea he once trolled women for fun with she/her pronouns.

Thank God Cass has been published before labour get in power. It gives us a glimmer of hope that they won’t be able to push through legislation that needs stopping.

House of Lords will help.

I might name change again. AGlinnerOfHope has a certain ring to it…

Yeah.
The black pinafore dress/outgrown roots look is from Lily’s 2017/2018 heyday.
As far as I can tell there have been no photos of LM since the sexual harassment allegations were made by a fellow goldsmiths student?

If you think about it, it's not contradictory at all.

They're losing the support of zealots with strong opinions about fringe issues, because they're trying to appeal to the silent majority of people who just want to live in a sensible country.
