As expected, Labour have won, with a big majority.
So: what next for women's rights?

Many will have voted Labour despite their misgivings about their stance on gender woo. I'm not judging anyone for voting to get rid of the Tories, I'm very happy that our local revolting Tory has finally been outed and we have a labour Mp for the first time in over 20 years.

So: what next, how can we stop Labour from destroying the advances against the gender steamroller?

Wondering the same thing today.

I had no belief that the Tories gave a shiny shit about women's rights either btw. Their claims to be anti trans were just the same as their claims they'd introduce National Service, a desperate attempt to increase votes. I voted Labour as they are broadly where my political beliefs lie. The issues of women's rights did make a huge sticking point for me (and I'm not a huge fan of Kier as leader) but they were the least scary group for me this election which given their stance on women's rights shows what slim pickings we had. 😔

We have a lot of work to do protecting women's rights and women's spaces. I'm hoping the tide turning in Scotland will help us in England but we all need to be Janes. To keep up the conversation. To make it a public talking point. To not let it lie.
