My post was pretty mild compared to posts I’ve seen by people trying to change the perception of the Labour Party on these boards, and my ffs was not nearly as aggressive as the way in which the word fucking was used to me, nuance is a thing.
Continually claiming unjustified victimhood also takes the piss out of people who are genuinely bullied and are struggling with real threats of harm, like Rosie Duffield who couldn’t go to her own party’s conference because of real and genuine concern for her physical safety.
Women experienced real bullying in Glasgow recently when a peaceful woman’s rights demonstration was kettled by masked male trans activists screaming in their faces and threatening them with actual physical harm. I was unwell and couldn’t go but friends of mine did and they genuinely feared that they might actually lose their lives, but every time that happens this ideology is revealed for what it is and more people are peaked.
Kellie J Keen was almost killed during a peaceful Let Women Speak rally in New Zealand, but the actions of that malevolent mob of aggressive, mainly men, brought a focus on the issue of women’s rights and safety and created a huge backlash that is still reverberating around the world today. They keep spouting that the violence is coming from both sides, it’s really not, it’s mainly men, often masked and dressed up as ninjas, screaming in women’s faces and threatening to rape, beat, and murder us. They hold up signs saying “punch a TERF”, and “ Decapitate Terfs” . Trans women have been convicted of assaulting women at these rallies, like the woman in her seventies whose eye socket was broken when a man in his thirties punched her in the face for daring to attend Kellie Js rally. There is no “kindness” coming our way and yet the aggressive demand is that we are kind to people who wish us great harm. I am aware that many trans people are not like that, but many of their supporters are, yet they don’t condemn them, where are all the “not in our name” rally’s?
I know that nowadays the mantra is that “words are violence” to such an extent that just asking someone a reasonable and perfectly legal question is considered violence and bullying, but it’s really not.
In throwing the term bullying around so lightly it totally loses the real meaning of the word, and that is dangerous for everyone.
Until Labour desist in their support for this authoritarian belief system that so aggressively trashes the rights of females, and both creates and supports anti democratic laws in support of it, then I won’t be voting for them, and no amount of gaslighting and what aboutery is going to persuade me.
