to let you know how men use the Equality Act to undermine women's spaces

[pisacake]

This is Liam. Liam was a 17-year-old Harry Potter fan (photo here from his Twitter).

Liam doesn't appear to have too much interest in running, but nonetheless got very upset that there are women-only runs, in addition to the thousands that are open to men.

He thinks this is similar to apartheid, or Rosa Parks being told to go to the back of the bus. twitter.com/iamLilyTM/status/637324189733666816 (August 2015)

Being kept out annoys Liam. (And a lot of other MRAs alike who get REALLY angry at not being allowed to join, despite their being literally thousands of other places to run.)

But wait! An idea! If Liam says he is a girl, he will be able to go wherever he likes including all those women-only runs he was so cruelly rebuffed from.

After all, at one time the Race for Life was able to be kept relatively man-free, as Cancer Research said:

<a class="break-all" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120528181520/raceforlife.cancerresearchuk.org/utilities/faqs/who-can-enter/index.html" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">web.archive.org/web/20120528181520/raceforlife.cancerresearchuk.org/utilities/faqs/who-can-enter/index.html

"Under the Gender Recognition Act 2004 we are happy to accept entries from individuals who possess a female birth certificate or gender recognition certificate. However, as Race for Life is a female-only event we have a promise and responsibility to our female supporters to ensure our Race for Life events are represented by women only. Therefore, if you do not have either a gender recognition certificate or a female birth certificate, we are afraid you will not be able to participate in Race for Life. "

But this didn't last long! The Equality Act 2010 came along and it said

"A person has the protected characteristic of gender reassignment if the person is proposing to undergo, is undergoing or has undergone a process [of changing gender]". So anyone who is even THINKING about changing gender is protected, and you better be careful about crossing them.

So Raceforlife quickly deleted the requirement for a GRC, and just to confirm this.

"Hey @raceforlife what is your opinion on pre-op women running? Does having a wang mean I can't do it? Let me know, pls."

The reply:
"hello, transgender women are welcome to take part in our events, so we'd love to have you :)"

Message has got through loud and clear to Liam, a few months later Liam says he is a girl called Lily (this declaration isn't really accompanied by any action, though he has had one Gender clinic appointment, where he got some handouts about hormones).

He tells his school. Some people, including his younger sister, are unhappy about his behaviour.

But not to worry, he looks up 'solicitor' on Google, and finds a firm of solicitor who represent teenage Harry Potter fans wanting access to women & girls spaces, completely for free! www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/this-trans-teen-threatened-her-school-with-legal-action-to-w Awesome! Free lawyers!Totally no consequences!

Emboldened, he moves on, with his MRA activity, getting a woman kicked kicked out of a neighbouring constituency Labour party:

Then he's elected women's officer in his own CLP.

Then people point out that he seems to own a Twitter account with blowjob, rape, Jimmy Savile & curry jokes. He says it's fake then it's pointed out it's dated 2013 so unlikely to be, and finally he blames his younger brother for the acocunt and says his family is racist, sexist and homophobic and that's why he has moved on from them.

Said brother is not impressed and calls him out publicly for throwing him under the bus

Lily/Liam is a big fan of Jeremy Corbyn, who for his own part has said that, as a genuine 100% authentic transwoman, Lily/Liam can do whatever he wants. www.facebook.com/MedwayLabour/posts/1506650112756340

As if all these weren't enough, he's now being sponsored for a Women in Leadership programme in by Tris Osborne, a (male, natch) Labour candidate in Luton. twitter.com/cllrtrisosborne/status/934368405993508864

Rosa Parks eat your heart out eh? Look who's got the last laugh now! Silly women wanting a race without men in it!

[AsMenDclaredWomenTheirInferior]

This reminds me very much of the The law of COVERTURE
Through the The law of Coverture, men sought to erase women from THEIR history and set out to deny them any recognition in THEIR culture and ultimately to deny women their very existence in it and they then Legally ceased to exist.
Men never protected women and girls, that idea is pure male hype and self promotion.
The only thing men ever protected were their own self interests.
You know, only the laws alter, not men.
You won't be getting any change from men.

Sorry for the bump, but Liam/Lily has declared total victory.

He's

(a) got laid. Found a girlfriend. Formerly claimed to be asexual, but that turned out to mean 'hadn't found anyone willing yet'. Now he's a 'lesbian', because he's got a girlfriend. twitter.com/madigan_lily/status/949864556372819973
(b) managed to found adults drunk/stupid enough to take his trolling as serious, including senior (actual) female members of the Labour party. twitter.com/madigan_lily/status/943611168702320640
(c) Trolled the shit out of everyone with his hilariously ridiculous claims about biology that you'd have to be on a high dose of LSD to believe.
To wit, he claims to be able to get pregnant 'tomorrow'. Despite you know, this being completely fucking impossible. twitter.com/madigan_lily/status/947613356386594816 He also claims that his doctor says his brain is emitting female hormones, despite you know, this being a load of bollocks/
(d) got the Labour party to abolish 'women'. Now a heterosexual teenage boy in dungarees is a woman if he says so. twitter.com/madigan_lily/status/951403599137034240 labour.org.uk/members/get-involved/national-youth-elections-2018/

Well done Liam/Lily! You really showed Rosa Parks !

W8What the same way they tolerated Naz Shah's retweet of the fake Owen Jones tweet about Rotherham.
