Labour tears itself apart over trans rights as biological man 'breaks party rules' and stands to become women's officer

Why is anyone up in arms that a trans woman wants to stand for a role in Labour's LGBT+ group? Do you not know what the T stands for? It's entirely appropriate that they stand and it's up to the members how they vote. Isn't the real issue that people posting here, most of whom I suspect are not Labour Party members, object with the T part of the group?

Yes, that's such a good idea and good point. Of course, we women don't actually do these things because we tend to respect other people's boundaries. Isn't it strange that these men act all the least womanly ways

"However, a gender critical group within the party, Labour LGB,"

These Twitter groups which, like the 'LGB Alliance' are mostly straight people and mostly men will be used to attack gay rights. Looking Followerwonk at these ""grassroots"" groups was always fascinating and made it very obvious that it was just the same people boosting each other.

"The "Trans Alliance" (seeking to take over the once-great LGBT+ Labour) has set out to prove this."

People picking stuff out of their arses again.

Steph Richards can go do whatever she wants, but she's completely lost in terms of where most trans people are at.

I’ve applied to be the trans representative on a committee at work. After all, they’re not going to do a genital check, and most of the time you can’t tell that someone is trans.

"I am legally female, other than in regards to the Equality Act"

...said no WOMAN ever

Don't forget that, pretty quickly after the SC ruling, the LP 'postponed ' the Women's Conference.
Labour is all about the men.

Is there any chance that the trans officer wouldn't be trans, or the disability officer not disabled?

Labour has become embroiled in a fresh row over trans rights after activists put forward a biological man to be the women's officer for an LGBT+ group.

The Trans Rights Alliance, a newly formed organisation seeking to change Labour's approach to gender issues, has put forward a number of candidates for election on July 19.

One of them includes Steph Richards - a transgender woman in possession of a gender recognition certificate - who is standing for women's officer.

However, a gender critical group within the party, Labour LGB, said the move breaks party rules by 'putting a man forward to be a women's officer'.

Sharing the list of candidates, the group posted on X: 'Many people say that trans ideology is a men's rights movement.

'Also breaking party rules by putting a man forward to be Women's Officer.'

I do not think she should be able to run but it will be interesting to see how many votes she gets

It will tell us a lot about the state of the labour party

This is an outright falsehood that's been debunked on MN before. The casualness of TRAs' lies is one of the more conspicuous aspects of their debating tactics.
