To think Labours Lily Madigan is really just trolling?

Young Lily (Woman’s Officer) seems to be going out of their way to rile up and insult women. I can only think either Lily is trolling for laughs or is on a little power trip. I’d love to know what MPs reallty think of their young controversial protege. How far is Labour willing to support Lily?

I used to despise the term 'politically correct' but I think this is essentially what it represents now. As you say @Enthusiam the majority of people will look and see a man (teenager) dressed as a woman. But no-one can say anything about it.

My main issue is why they won't even have a discussion about it. That is what angers me. If they can explain why they are women or why they feel the need to use our spaces with logic and reason then I'm all ears. None of them can. But challenging this apparently renders me a bigot or a terf. I can live with being called the latter, in fact I consider it somewhat of a compliment.

Well I was half way through a post to her and was blocked. All I said was that feminists are for equal rights, a biological women will be denied for a job often in their late 20s/early 30s over a man, because they are concerned when she will have children.

I was about to say a “trans woman” doesn’t have that same problem, but could be discriminated for being trans. We should protect everyone, but let’s not erode fundemental woman’s rights.

But apparently that’s too terf, so now blocked...

What's all the nonsense over conversion therapy.

Lily already admitted it was a typo first time round an autocorrect from conversation therapy

Now they are back on to conversion therapy.

Ironic since transing is conversion therapy for gay people Hmm.

So you are a cis woman and not a woman

So ‘cis women’ are not women, but trans women are.

So there are men (manly men), trans women = actual women (all the benefits of a man in a feminine package because men can woman better), and cis women (the messy, menstruating, needing time off for pregnancy biological kind).

And that is the new hierarchy. (With apologies to those suffering gender dysphoria with no intention to trample over women’s rights)

So there is part of me thinking, if LM is a troll, stop feeding the troll. Simple.
But the question is how far people believe this stuff? It goes right to the top of the Labour Party.

He’s now calling for a purge of ‘terfs’ from the Labour Party.

Well I think we should set up a purge of people who like Fig Rolls. Plenty of people with strong feelings one way or another there. Or ditch the marmite haters. Or the people who watch X Factor.

Let’s have a Labour Party with a hive mind.

Oh and he’s also back on the scrounge again. I know he’s only in a volunteer post but surely there are guidelines and a code of conduct? I volunteer and if I brought the organisation into disrepute I’d be kicked out (not for thoughtcrimes thankfully).

I think the labour party are ignoring them and hoping they'll be voted out at next election for that post. Can you imagine the backlash from trans activists and right on lefty men if they were removed from the post now regardless of how badly they're performing the role or how unsuited they are for it? They're probably terrified of it triggering something bigger than Jennifer James crowdfunding and being forced into making a definitive statement on self ID.

Never mind the votes of women they're losing now...

Or else they think the post of women's office is a meaningless role to keep the women happy and quiet and it doesn't matter what the post holder does.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 21/02/2018 12:41

Well, LM's being helpful in peak transing people in the meantime. And hopefully at some point Corbyn or O'Donnell or someone else senior will put a toe over the trans line & get an "Ewwwwwwwwww" on twitter.

DaisyDrip I may have missed it, but does the email have its own thread?

This makes me think Lily is definitely trolling

You really couldn't make that kid up. They are their own parody.

Madigan is getting himself tied up in knots again.

Lily is cross with PrickNews for saying something about him wearing a skirt. But his whole rise to prominence was about his 'fight' to wear a girl's school uniform. And in this article, here he is, 'literally' wearing a skirt
