The mystery continues. Will it be Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol or none of the above?

I’m not sure that looked after children can tell us much about the socioeconomic class of children who are identifying as transgender. Looked after children are outside of what might be considered to be a normal family environment. Thrown into frequent contact with social services and other support services: Social workers, school therapists, mental health services, foster families, care home environments, police etc. And we know how in thrall to GII all these services can be.

Exactly. As I said, it should be ringing huge alarm bells that it's that specific group of very vulnerable children who are overrepresented.

I doubt I am. I don't enjoy watching women tearing each other apart for "wrongthink"

Yet here you are, doing it from your side of the fence!

This is a bit of a cliche - looked after children were over represented in referrals to GIDS and Blackpool had one of the highest referral rates in the country. Trans ID isn’t just a middle class thing, those are just the people who get into the media.

Yes, I was pleased to see this yesterday. Lucky coincidence, as you're right about why people are standing where they are (I'm a party member so have access to the forum where the candidates were discussing it).

And one of them has posted on the other thread!!

NoWordForFluffy · 10/06/2024 18:09

But to get back to why I mentioned her, it was because she is / was the MP for one of the constituencies where a PoW candidate is standing.

Just to add I think where the PoW candidates are standing I think has far more to do with who is brave enough to put themselves forward and where they live.

Ah, I recalled incorrectly. Though was right that she has skin in the game!

I presume he has a cervix She is completely fucking ridiculous.

IwantToRetire · 10/06/2024 18:06

I'm amazed that post hasn't been reported / deleted given a certain somebody's response to it being mentioned!

Well you cant undo what is already done.

If Thronberry have put this fact into the public domain, then it is there.

As a Green Party member who despairs of the TRA takeover of my party and can't stand Carla Denyer, I really hope that's the case.

Yes and she was diabolical in the recent debate.

Emily Thornberry has skin in the game, IIRC, with a trans relative (MtF).

Oh I didn't know that.

I know a couple of Greens who live in Bristol and say that it's our best chance out of the 4 targeted seats

Really? I thought Brighton where they already have a seat? Do they think it's likely to go to Labour?

I've heard that a lot of people think things will be very close between Green and Labour in Brighton Pavilion.

Caroline Lucas had personal support as well as people who voted for her because she was a Green. Sian doesn't have that. Some people have said that a lot of locals see her as a Londoner (which she is).

Greens are throwing a lot of manpower at Brighton (lots of leafletting with volunteers coming from outside Brighton to support Action Days) but it might not be enough.

"Emily Thornberry has backed the Labour leader's stance in a row over whether only women have cervixes."

Oh dear, BBC, the plural of cervix is cervices. 3/10

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/06/2024 10:08

The high number of "looked after children" should be ringing alarm bells.

Uytoop · 10/06/2024 09:59

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/06/2024 09:31

Yes, most Labour (and other mainstream) politicians are middle class, and it's a middle class thing.

This is a bit of a cliche - looked after children were over represented in referrals to GIDS and Blackpool had one of the highest referral rates in the country. Trans ID isn’t just a middle class thing, those are just the people who get into the media.

I suspect that more than a few do have young realatives caught up in the trans madness.

It's so widespread that it's likely that many of them do, like Stephen Kinnock.

It is really distasteful to trawl through peoples family to find trans relatives and then claim they have "skin in the game".

You have no idea at all about people's family set up and how they feel about relatives transition. And the trans person in question is not in the public eye and deserves their privacy. It's low behaviour to speculate like that.

Perhaps Emily Thornberry should have considered that before telling the world about her cousin.
