Labour has totally lost the plot wit Identity Politics?

Labour Youth are advertising posts and have positions ring marked for “self identifying women only” to encourage more women into politics. Just seems a really strange way of describing women and actually means that all the posts could go males instead of females (can’t really use women any more). Can’t wrap my mind round how identity politics has become so prolific and taking priority or biology. The future doesn’t seem to have much place for females. Labout Woman’s officer Lily Madigan on it.?I’d like to see what Labour women think of this.

Is it official Labour line that transwomen can get pregnant?

Wish i’d Bloody known that before suffering HG in my last pregnancy. I’d have persuaded my oh to self identify for 9months to get pregnant, have the baby and leave me to cultivate my existing wobbly bum. As it is, I had to start again after HG weight loss.

I'd certainly like them to answer that question.

Labour are looking like idiots with all this. Very disappointing.

that Sarahistorygirl is an ex nurse apparently. No wonder they aren't allowed to practice any more if they think men can get pregnant.

I think this is why I don't identify with just one line of thinking. Because they always package things in together that don't go, like if you want to leave the EU you must be racist and right-wing and if you are left-wing you have to agree that any man who wants to be can be a woman.

coyoacan there are so few people who realise that these days. I love you for saying that. Opinions are a la carte, not a set menu.
