‘The Trans Rights Alliance has put forward Steph Richards, a transgender woman in possession of a GRC, as its candidate for women’s officer’

Yes, remember when they went on Woman’s Hour?

Think it was another step in "Operation Let Them Speak" with people all over the country ridiculing a tone deaf non medical man claiming a role in leading a women's endometriosis charity.
So much sunlight.🌞

But Steph has neither a medical background nor any lived experience of endometriosis, so not exactly a prime candidate for the role. Did they bring in shed loads of funding to the charity, or just a media backlash?

Richard’s took places from women on discussion panels about the topic if I remember correctly. It wasn’t just a CEO role. It was a public figure role as well.

No, but you do need a medical degree and years of additional training, you can't just rock up and do it.

Steph appears to have no relevant qualifications or experience of any kind.

You don't need heart issues to become a cardiologist, so I don't think this argument stacks up

But, I do agree that TW are not women (as we all know, deep down, although some choose to deny cit)

Oh PLEASE get all that out in public and all over the papers. Please! I'll come with tea and biscuits!

Good grief.

Yeah I think he was in Portsmouth. He stood as a Councillor and did really badly. I had already left Labour ages before then. (Was a naughty tervan).

A very sly, arrogant man.

LGB Labour are considering legal action if party rules are not followed. Keep watching this space. This could get big.

Note the "Trans Rights alliance" is one of the trans factions inside Labour. There is a division over tactics and position. It will be interesting to see if the TRA candidates win in LGBT Labour internal elections or whether the more restrained existing committee wins out. For the pro-women side TRA wins might actually be beneficial as they will probably marginalise LGBT Labour, further alienate the leadership and do a bunch of stunts which will weaken their support inside the wider party.

Steph Richards being forced to stand down from standing for legal reasons also will be a huge win for women and gays in the party. So this could be another self inflicted disaster from the trans side.

Some of the X discussion.

Many people say that trans ideology is a men's rights movement. The 'Trans Alliance' (seeking to take over the once-great LGBT+ Labour) has set out to prove this. Also breaking party rules by putting a man forward to be Women's Officer.

As Labour Party members, we are concerned that an affiliated socialist society is considering breaking the law by appointing a male into a position reserved for women. We are asking LGBT+ Labour to tell us whether they believe this is permissible.

The ⁦Telegraph⁩ picks up this story and gives us a mention as we wonder whether ⁦UKLabour⁩ will condemn the nomination as unlawful or do we need to consider legal proceedings?

Richard Cotton

I was a member of the Labour Campaign for Gay Rights 40 odd years ago, but LGBT+ Labour promotes the gender identity ideology at the expense of lesbian and gay rights. I've nothing against people who identify as the opposite sex but what has that to do with homosexuality?

LesbianLabour

None of our Team are members of LGBTLabour
as they refused to let us join them when we launched our campaign for lesbian rights describing us as ‘obsessed with our sexual boundaries’. We objected of course, same-sex attracted is not an obsession it’s a description of a lesbian.

Parsley
Did they really use those words? And not read them back and wonder if they were the baddies?

LesbianLabour
They wrote them in the email they sent us following our request to join them, along with the words, transphobes and hate speech.

It's also interesting that so many are infamous for deeply unpleasant, anti social behaviours like.
Promoting extreme porn involving the mutilation of women
Organising protests enabling sexual threats and abuse of women
Celebrating male lactation fetishes that put babies at risk
The excessive number of sex offenders according to the MoJ statistics.

It's no wonder that the public are calling out these behaviours. The comments under the Telegraph article make that very clear:

The gig really is now up. Their obsessions with porn, fetish, bullying women are all in the open and until they start tackling the issues in their own movement, the public will keep on pointing out the dangers too many pose to women and children.

Oh, this is for the “Trans Rights Alliance”, whatever that is. Underwhelming isn’t the word 😂

I thought he already had been the CLP women’s officer TBH.

Steph the “ Hey laydees, why not feed your baby the liquid that oozes from your man breasts if you take enough chemicals “ Steph?

Clearly someone who has great insight into what being a woman means, even down to being an expert on endometriosis.

That’s 👌🏼

Of course they have. TWAW donchaknow?!

For some transexuals it seems that being "trans" totally dominates their identities & their whole shtick is about being "trans". I don't know whether this is just a vocal minority or whether it's the same for all transexuals. I suspect it is a majority if not all of them because of the constant reminders about their disorder what with the post-surgical problems, lifelong cross-sex hormones & the ever present anxiety about "passing".

It really is significant too that the same names feature. They are attempting to make a career out of their activism ie. their misogyny.

It’s highly significant that the group of men attempting to dominate all discussion on women is very small. The same names crop up, over and over. These men appear to be attempting a hostile takeover on principle and have no interest whatsoever in women. It’s frankly grim.

Because liking dolls is evidence of a female brain, right?

I think when you get all the activities that Richards has been involved in over the past years, it is quite clear to see that Richards is not at all concerned about the needs of female people. Only one group of people is Richards' focus - male people who say they have a transgender identity.

Steph Richards seems to be keen to do anything to get that group prioritised while never once even showing understanding about talking over the top of female people...

Richards is the antithesis of 'Women's Officer' representation.

Sadly, not just Richards...

Is that the "fragrant" Steph of Portsmouth Labour Party?

It is indeed. Steph who organised the Portsmouth protests in front of Filia where male protestors tried to silence women discussing their sexual assaults, rapes and abuse. Where some of those male protestors wrote things like suck my trans dick on the pavement where those women and any passers by had to walk, including children.

And the same Steph who became a spokesperson and CEO for an Endometriosis group.

Nadia Whittmore MP frothing with excitement at her support for the trans rights alliance.
Just to clarify with any visiting trolls, I mean TRA, is it considered fine for a trans rights alliance to exist, but not fine for an LGB alliance to exist?

Clearly not a very bright man at all
