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?

Hands up anyone who just fell down the TM Twitter feed rabbit hole for the last hour

You’d be bettter focusing on people who actually have power rather than the women’s officer for some tiny constituency party, a political party that isn’t even in power. Confused

Sure LM is annoying on Twitter but most people don’t give a shit what happens on Twitter.

Only if you promise not to take away my self invented rights @Bejazzled. The right to see someone as the sex they were born unto Wink

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 19/02/2018 22:20

No doubt Lily is reading this thread I do not like giving Lily more attention but sadly Lily is hard to ignore down to the position Lily holds

Which is as we know ridiculous as Lily isn’t a woman, quite obviously hates women and has no interest in supporting women

anonirat · 19/02/2018 22:21

jamies how exactly is it going too far?

I have discussed the comments of other politicans/ people in public life. I am sure others do the same. Why is it differnt for LM?

Why can LM say what they like and call for other Labour candidates to be de-selected etc, but not be personally challenged/ held accountable for that?

I've read a lot of horrible comments from TRA's who think that lesbians are 'trans misogynistic' what ever that means and think that lesbians should have sex with a be-penised person.

Funny how they want to identify as real women even going so far as saying the feel maternal etc.... yet they don't argue about why men don't want sex with them and call them trans misogynists. Only lesbian woman.

The logic astounds me.

@Icomehereseekingpeas I am in. This argument actually makes a lot more practical sense than what I used to argue; that if I identify as a fridge then I am a fridge or if I tell you I am a potato you are a bigot if you don't consider me a potato. I'm wholly with you on this. And I have no shame in saying I am a Terf.

VladmirsPoutine · 19/02/2018 22:29

And what the fuck is 'chest feeding'?? The world has gone mad! I'm not bothered if women choose to breast-feed or not - it's their choice. But I will not call it 'CHEST FEEDING' just to allow some bloke in a dress with a baby to think that he is feeding his child. FFS!!!!

beepthemeep · 19/02/2018 22:31

Bit of an old one, but some interesting comments and links here - I hadn't seen the jimmy savile thing before Angry

It's our right Vladimirs. If people can self ID as the opp sex without having an actual law passed yet, what stands for one person must stand for all surely.

Let's use their own logic against them. Sure we'll be called bigots and probably all sorts of ridiculous names but it'd be worth it to watch them trip up over their own bullshit.

It's funny but before reading about how TRAs are chipping away at women's right I was such a live and let live person. Still like to think I am but not when the consequences will detriment a whole class of people.

I don’t think I could have said it better myself!

Will we start seeing ‘freethechest’ hashtags soon Confused

Icomehereseekingpeas · 19/02/2018 22:34

@StickThatInYourPipe can you imagine TIMs doing Page 3?

Equal opportunity and all that jazz.

Punta · 19/02/2018 22:36

Can I go back to the Maria Miller discussion? She chaired the ‘equality’ forum discussing the trans debate. No women's groups were invited to attended, only trans rights groups were represented. As a result, the official guidance regarding trans / woman debate that is sent to the media, schools, etc has a distinct pro-trans and anti woman flavour to it.

Can I also point you in the direction of this...

www.transgendertrend.com/transgender-schools-guidance/

Currently being demonised as being anti trans, but is a breath of fresh air and sensible if you actually take the time to read it (as I know most MN readers will!)

yorkshireyummymummy · 19/02/2018 22:39

@stickThatInYourPipe I’ve been blocked too. !!!!I had never tweeted him. I tweeted Michelle Dewberry ( from Sky News ‘The Pledge’ ) suggesting she discusses Lily Madigan representing women yet only pushing Trans rights and talking about his trans adgender. Seems that was enough.

I’m pretty disgusted by his begging bowl #gofundme page.
Won’t raise much money though as he will have blocked all women soon and I can’t see men sending him much coin!

Gileswithachainsaw · 19/02/2018 22:42

I could read the Twitter feed for hours.

They have yet to respond with a sensible answer to the fact that if they identify witg cis women then surely they should feel represented by cis women uness they are saying they are not like cis women..

It's hilarious

Mrsknackered · 19/02/2018 22:48

I really, really, really, really dislike Lily.

She's doing fuck all for women, and even less so for the trans community

StickThatInYourPipe · 19/02/2018 22:49

Basically what I can gather from the comments on Twitter is if a man says we need debate in a properly publicised environment (ie, not Twitter) then people accuse him of being a woman pretending to be a man, pushing the TERF agenda. I’ve also watched some videos on YouTube where Lily says we need to take away platforms for women expressing free speech.

Fuck me I’m sure I have I have stumbled into an alternate universe, can I go home now please?

Icomehereseekingpeas · 19/02/2018 22:51

Yep @Gileswithachainsaw and I still don't get why as women they don't want to sleep with Cis men only lesbians

Icomehereseekingpeas · 19/02/2018 22:54

I think they've taken Descartes philosophy too far.

I think I am a woman therefore....

Does the same apply to an individual confessing "I think I am God, therefore I am" Checks I'm not Bono

VladmirsPoutine · 19/02/2018 22:56

Can we all please stop using the term 'cis'.
