At a 19yr Old Transwoman being elected a Labour woman’s officer

Seems the old WO stepped down after alleged bullying and accusation of transphobia. The new WO is a 19 yr old Transwoman - i think who made many of The allegations against the previous WO.

What experience has a 19 yr old TW got to hold this post - weirder than weird.

So now a male bully is handing out advice to women on how to cope with um male bullies. Well I suppose it's like insider information. You couldn't make it up if you tried.

There are so many good women in here (and I'm talking real women, not the ones playing in the dress up box) who talk sense and know the politics game, are there not enough across the country to form your own party?

I for one would gladly give you my subs now.

I have worked with one so called transgender and he frightened the fucking life out of me, and I'm no wallflower. I went to my boss and said I never wanted to work with them.

He was all breast implants and Dolly Parton blonde hair with skin tight shorts to how off his dick. He didn't want to have that chopped off as apparently there's quite a lucrative cash market for men with breast implants who dress as women.
He said I shouldn't knock it until I try it.

He assaulted his female neighbour - left her on the ground and then tried to run over her. He left her in hospital and he went to prison.
A female prison where he's having an affair and sexual relations with a female murderer. Getting a nice cushy break because nobody dares call a spade a spade and put him where he belongs.

VivienMary There is what I think is a spoof account on twitter that's spouts such shite it has to be...on the other hand

I am a member of a vegan group on Facebook and I had to back slowly out and shut the door behind me when the admin of the group asked people to stop reffering to cows that are milked as ‘female’ as it’s transphobic to suggest that the ability to lactate is an exclusively female trait.

Because obviously if those cows don’t want to be milked they can just say ‘mooooooo i am a bull’.

Just listening to Ed Miliband’s podcast. He opens the podcast by laughing at and mocking those people who come “from a certain viewpoint” on the subject (aka women, I guess?!).

The guests he has invited to speak are all aligned with the trans cult - Paris Lees, the author of the “Growing up Transgender” blog and the number 1 hormone touting doctor Helen Webberly.

He’s also quoting the debunked statistics on trans suicide attempts etc.

Bye bye Ed. I’m done.

TheRollingCrone · 20/11/2017 14:30

Totally Yep this needs one big national voice, we're getting steamrollered here.

Oh, Ed.

I am so disappointed.

TotallyEducatedRationalFemale · 20/11/2017 14:37

TheHumanRace thank you, will do that.

TheRollingCrone · 20/11/2017 14:39

TheHuman I follow both on twitter - so disappointed MM did not cover the demo at Topshop Oxford St.

shhhfastasleep · 20/11/2017 14:45

Totally irresponsible of the local party to put this young person in this high profile role.

makeourfuture · 20/11/2017 14:45

Is there a different slant to this in the US?

I am reading this Reuters/Ipsos poll:

"Americans aged 18 to 29 favor letting transgender people use the restroom of their identity by a 2-to-1 ratio. Among Americans aged 60 or more, the ratio was 2-to-1 in reverse with people saying restroom use should be mandated by the gender on one’s birth certificate."

"Forty-four percent of women favor letting a man who is in transition from male to female into their public toilets, compared to 39 percent who say they must use the facilities matching their gender assigned at birth."

Is there a difference in perception here in the UK?

HumphreyCobblers · 20/11/2017 14:46

Paris Lees who says she has spent the last decade being a 'bit of a slag'.

Can you imagine an actual woman describing themselves thus on national media and still getting to be on a platform with Ed Milliband?

One rule for them and another for us women.

catgirl1976 · 20/11/2017 14:47

Gender isn't on birth certificates or assigned at birth so I'm struggling to read that extract

CAAKE · 20/11/2017 14:49

I’m struggling on listening to Ed’s podcast. He’s chatting with Paris going through systematically “debunking” each of the “mythological” arguments (Paris calls them “crackpot theories”) that are pitted against the GRA changes. It’s absolutely nauseating and it’s making me so so angry.

CAAKE · 20/11/2017 14:51

Paris: “nobody is speaking up for trans kids”

Apart from the Tories and the parliamentary Labour Party 🙄

Datun · 20/11/2017 15:01

This boy had a link in his Twitter profile to rape.com.

The man who fed him the information about Anne originally complains about prostitutes and is quite vile.

Towards the end of this thread.

And SNP, the Greens, the Libdems and WEP

Noone is speaking for women

Iforgotmynameimdrunk · 20/11/2017 15:07

I have a problem with the fact she is a teen

SlowlyShrinking · 20/11/2017 15:08

A teenaged boy, to be exact

GladAllOver · 20/11/2017 15:11

Even if this was a 19 year old woman I would ask whether there wasn't an older applicant with more personal life experience of real womens' issues. But a young man ?
[knocks head against wall]

pisacake · 20/11/2017 15:13

Paris will forever be conflated with Paris Green for me.

Paris Green is a transgender convicted criminal rapist.

Paris Lees is a transgender convicted criminal robber.

What IS it with the transgender stripper names?
