To think this is a vote winner (though not election clincher) from Sunak?

Thought this was an impressive and clear response to the question, from Rishi. I suppose Labour will likely win by a landslide, because many people don’t care enough about women’s rights. Because I do care very much about women’s rights, I may vote Conservative for the first time ever (cue outrage for Lion). Will I regret it? Possibly. But I’d regret voting for Labour (aka women’s rights removers), even more.

I took that to mean that you didn't agree that women should be protected from males in single sex spaces (the position that you were objecting to us referring to? )

"I took that to mean"
Says it all
Saw something, put your own spin on it when nothing of the sort was said

Oh for god's sake. I honestly think the only thing which will satisfy you is for every woman on this thread to fall into line with you and agree that Badenoch is going to save us from horrible trans women. It's sad, because you alienate women who might share some of your concerns.

It's pointless arguing with you.

Well voting a party in and then telling them you’re unhappy with what they’ve proposed seems ridiculous

But as you wish, I’ll leave it to you though to change things after

BIossomtoes · 13/02/2024 22:53

Imagine if Badenoch loses her seat. One can but dream.

Oh how I’d laugh!

Well Blossom has again said she's as happy as a pig in muck if Labour get in and don't protect women's rights to single sex spaces, so I wasn't wrong the first time !

She said she's happy with the law as it stands.

Most people want that - that's really good to hear because it's not reflected in these tribal posts which focus on what the Tories have allowed to happen rather than how Labour will fix it if they are elected.

I don't believe that the Tories are the party to vote for for women's rights either, I never said they were.

All I am trying to urge women on this thread to do is to lobby Labour to do better on this.

Otherwise we sleepwalk into a position where Labour continue to erode women's rights to single sex spaces. We shouldn't have to pay that price for fear of another Tory government. It's too important.

A desire for Single sex spaces is all over this thread. You can't see it because you are too preoccupied with your belief that those opposing the Tories are being tribal.

What "tribe" are you talking about? Most people in Britain didn't vote Tory in the last GE. Many more will not vote Tory in the next GE. We are not a "tribe" we are a diverse majority.

If you want to urge women to lobby Labour maybe you should start a thread doing that instead of burying it in a thread about supporting the Tory party in the next GE. You might also want to stop making shit up and attributing it to other posters.Hmm

Your tribalism is showing @lifeturnsonadime .

NoMoreFalafelsForYou · 13/02/2024 22:53

The numerous ones that on this thread that disagree with you for a start. And the 62% of people who think the OP is unreasonable

Exactly

You're funny. I've talked about this on numerous threads.

I recognise your user name I'm sure you recognise mine.

No one has yet, on any thread, told me why Labour can't solve this?

IClaudine · 13/02/2024 22:57

lifeturnsonadime · 13/02/2024 22:52

I am asking what Labour will do.

Why won't anyone answer this question. If Labour cares so much about women why don't they solve this?

and I'm not interested in a 'but the tories response'.

Why don't Labour care about women's single sex spaces?

Oh FFS. People have told you endlessly what Labour is proposing. Then you in turn critique it and deem it not good enough and anti-women. Then you ask again what Labour is proposing and the cycle starts again. It is just a circular argument with you and it's too late in the evening for me to be getting dizzy.

Night.

TooBigForMyBoots · 13/02/2024 22:58

No one has told me why the Tory government have refused to solve this. Such is life. People on the internet (and IRL) will not always give us what we want.

It's one of life's lessons.

BIossomtoes · 13/02/2024 22:46

The people who thought anything was better than the tories and thought that Labour would reverse the harm to women's single sex spaces caused by gender ideology.

Those aren’t necessarily the same. I think anything’s better than a Tory government and am happy with the law as it stands. So, come a Labour government, I’ll be happy as a pug in muck.

You're happy with the law as it stands despite how it allows women's spaces to be eroded? OK then.

EasternStandard · 13/02/2024 22:58

I’m not sure there’s anyone who will stand up for sex based rights whilst all are laughing once those who do are out

No one in Labour, that hasn’t been attacked by their own party anyway

I mean laugh away but seems a shit prospect to me

TooBigForMyBoots · 13/02/2024 22:59

Glad you think I'm funny. Most people don't get that about me @lifeturnsonadime.GrinThanks

So they are NOT doing enough to solve it.

Glad we've cleared that up.

They don't care enough about women's rights to single sex spaces and seemingly nor do a lot of their female supporters on this thread.

Shame that the wishes of males matter more than then dignity and safety of women of religious minorities , sex abuse survivors etc....

And there you go again, putting words in other people's mouths.

I am beginning to suspect you might be male!

Now I really am off to bed.

BIossomtoes · 13/02/2024 23:02

I could write your posts and save you the trouble @lifeturnsonadime. Don’t you ever get tired of it? It’s literally the only thing I’ve ever seen you post about. Surely there must be something else you care about.

The people who thought anything was better than the tories and thought that Labour would reverse the harm to women's single sex spaces caused by gender ideology. They believed it was all the awful Tories who hated women.

They'll realise Labour didn't care enough to fix it and in fact made it even easier for men to be falsify their birth certificates.

They'll know this because nothing will improve even under Labour. If they raise it they could be guilty of a hate crime.

Awful really. Why won't Labour put this right? Can anyone answer that ?

Feeling Dumb Jim Carrey GIF

Yeah, far more sensible to cut your nose off to spite your face and let the Tories back in. That'll show Labour I'm sure. We'll only have to 5 years, and in the meantime I'm sure no women will care that rape is decriminalised, women are in poverty yadda yadda. Because Labour will know women care about single sex spaces.

Honestly. It makes no sense at all. "Don't vote for the opposition because they haven't fixed anything while in opposition, keep the status quo" Confused

Fairly representative of how I feel having been asked "how you going to stop males with GRCs using single sex spaces under Labour?" for the 5 billionth time.

People wanting to lobby Labour after they’re in and keep quiet now - it’s bizarre

Of course they’re not going to listen after, they don’t now.
