And there will be tension. Liberal Voice for Women have a stall, but there are several motions proposed that push gender ideology, including one to promote self ID. How very 2018.

I mean, quite apart from everything else they want, why on Earth do they want to force women to remain married to someone they no longer want to be married to? Are they getting advice from the Taliban?

If the Lib Dems want to continue to be utterly unelectable, that's on them!

They got 72 seats at the GE last year, with 63 new wins.

The general public doesn't realise how batshit they are on gender ideology, because the MSM won't ever mention it. The "anyone but the Tories" voters who couldn't bring themselves to put their cross by the Labour candidate chose the Lib Dems instead.

A thread here of some of the speeches.

The policy supports self ID and fails to support the Cass Review. Also suggests removal of the spousal exit clause and proposes banning 'conversion therapy'.

At this point in time, it's an utterly bizarre stance to take.

They give vaule to those big pharmacy donations,don't they?

Zoe points out the passed motion includes:
- Self-ID
- Removal of spousal exit clause
- Fails to accept Cass
- Calls for ‘gender affirming care’ I.e puberty blockers, hormones, surgery 1/4

There is no age limit stipulated for these irreversible medical interventions. These policies are unpopular with the general public, with LibDems
voters and with the broader LibDems
membership as our polling shows.
A debate was allowed - clips will follow - some progress.

The contrast in the hall with the response on our stand and our fringe has been extraordinary. As I sat down after my speech one LGBT+ ally shouted ‘down with the terfs’ Nat_
was heckled during her speech and extraordinary claims were made by members of LGBT+ LDs
Having been saddled with poor policy since the 2015 motion called for puberty blockers for children this was our opportunity to put that right. Instead it’s like the Cass Review never happened. Will we be burdened with this policy for another 10 years? https://dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14516529/Lib-Dem-trans-row-easier-legally-change-gender-puberty-blocker-ban.html

Apparently the Lib Voice for women fringe event was very popular.

Remember folks if you are in a council area with elections don't forget to question any Lib dem candidates about this.

I'd like to see how many votes there were. I saw a post somewhere (X possibly) with a speaker in favour and about 15 people in the room).

Alas, they have passed a policy.

I vaguely recall he moved to the US to form a throuple and work at Reddit but I may have that wrong.

I do like the way they've stuck the Ed Davey "a woman can have a penis" video in the middle of the Daily Mail article!

Brave of the women standing up to the madness, but some people won't be helped.

Well done LVW. I love the way the LibDem LGBTQ+++ spokesperson said the survey questions were no good, that (even if they were any good) transphobia was rising and that, finally, LibDems have progressive feminist, inclusive, democratic ideals (presumably therefore they can ignore the survey - which democratically shows the views of their members - and instead take orders from the most marginalised men in dresses). Do these people not hear themselves?

Liberal voice for women are admirable in their approach and determination. It's a long tough slog, but they keep on going 👏

They are brave, some of the most unhinged TRAs are Lib Dems.

Shortshriftandlethal · 22/03/2025 09:14

The Lib Dems are a lost cause.......they really are a strange bunch. I came to realise that over the last few years. They have neither the heart of Labour nor the pragmatism of Tories. They seem to exist in a quite detached, liminal space - quite far removed from reality and human feeling. A bit cyborg'y.....Layla Moran, for example......a sort of startled look in the eyes.
