Just had a Labour Party canvasser on the doorstep. Never happened before but our constituency boundary has changed and is now likely to turn red. His first question was what is the number one issue for you in the coming election? He looked quite bemused when I said that it was clarity that only those born female can be a woman....people can wear what they want but it doesn't make them a woman. He didn't nod in agreement or stay for a full on discussion.

But it doesn't ever come up on the doorstep...

I wonder if echo chambers and social media bubbles and spin have convinced politicians that most people are happy with males being put in womens prisons, children being sterilised, and lesbian being called sexual racists?

Because no. Even people who don't care much about women's rights baulk at politicians declaring some women have penises. It's the equivalent of declaring that the world is indeed flat and then being surprised that people object.

Didn't you question him ? Last time I had a Labour canvasser at the door I did complain about there stance on TWAW. It was an older woman, so I asked her if she would be happy to share a hospital ward with EI I had to ask her 3 times before she answered. She did say no. My DH thinks they will never return 😂
