Lily Madigan, TIM, elected Labour women's officer

[jMillicentFawcett]

Lily is 19. Lily was instrumental in the hate campaign against Anne Ruzylo which resulted in her standing down.

You have to be a woman to be women’s officer but ‘The Labour councillor said that “lived experience as a woman” should be considered an advantage — but not a prerequisite — for the role of women’s officer.’

Lily could also have gone for the LGBT officer role but they didn’t want that. No, they wanted to show women that they can shit all over them and we will applaud them for doing it.

I’m absolutely furious about this ( as you can probably tell)

Sorry if that came across as snippy, Titania - I'm just so tired of the endless sympathy people have for these destructive, misogynist men, even while they gleefully destroy women.

I do understand that you were making a point about putting a young, possibly mentally troubled person up for public scrutiny.

However, I personally am done extending sympathy to male trans activists - they never return women's compassion in kind.

I do understand that you were making a point about putting a young, possibly mentally troubled person up for public scrutiny.

And it’s not feminists, women who are doing this! No woman in their right mind would put that kid up for this post.

I completely agree, it’s wrong to expose a troubled kid to the flak he is about to get.

So they shouldn’t have done it.

WE haven’t done it.

Gaslighting in action.

Are we all who post on here transphobes now?

The only thing you have to do to be transphobe is not believe every single dot and comma of the ideology. All of it. And promote it.

If women stay they will think we accept it.

This. And I've felt like this for several months now.

Yep, whoever decided on this is a class a Pratt or worse. I think worse, I think someone had a clue how this would go down and did it anyway for their own nefarious reasons.

It’s just that now us fighting all this will be portrayed as really horrible people, so I think in this case we need to make the distinction clear, we don’t have a personal problem with this young man but the whole decision is absolutely ridiculous.

I agree datun & donkey.

Sorry I share everyone’s anger and absolutely agree with your posts I just had a chance to cool off a bit while putting dinner on and this is what I’m thinking.

I don’t care if he makes dick jokes. Hell, I’ve got two sons his age.

( I do care if he makes rape jokes tho).

What is insulting is that he is representing women. Not just because he can’t, but because someone is deliberately attempting to undermine women by his appointment.

So because we feel sorry for him, and we might have kids his age, what are we supposed to do?

Not expose him?

Then what?

she's barely old enough to have hair on her bollocks FGS.

What life experience do they have?

Snort. Thanks for that. It made me laugh. What a relief.

I’m sick to death of getting all these conflicting thoughts about wanting to protect people at exactly same time that I want to punch them.

i don't want to misgender anyone Datun. That's bad. So, she has bollocks (fact) and I refer only to her youth. Nothing else :)

No we do need to fight back absolutely, I’m just wondering aloud. It’s the people that made this happen, the experienced mature adults involved in this, hidden conveniently behind the scenes that fucking boil my piss. Bet they are laughing now.

Don’t let my comments hold you back!

A teenage girl would never have been given this post. Never.

I'm really sick of these shrieks of transphobia. A phobia is an irrational fear of something. It's not irrational or silly to be concerned about your safety or your daughters safety.

What IS irrational is men who have used male facility's all their lives suddenly wailing that they are now terrified of being murdered. It's androphobic , discriminatory, and should be challenged. I'm going to start responding to these absurd claims by yelling androphobe.

I just found myself trying to explain all this to my poor dog as I don’t have many people to chat to about this at all in real life. He doesn’t seem confused but did lick my face out of concern, probably for my mental health. 2018 soon, can I go through another year of this without losing my shit totally at some point?

Titania did you just assume your dog’s gender?

I'd never heard of androphobe but yes that is what the retort should often be.

she's barely old enough to have hair on her bollocks FGS.

There's a sentence I bet you thought you would never write

I have cancelled my direct debit and am now writing not only to cancel my membership of the Labour Party but also to put in a data protection act request about any information they hold on me.

I also feel like taking photos of my period and tweeting them every fucking month.

What could possibly go wrong when you select a teen age boy as woman's officer?

Anyone in Bournemouth fancy popping along to hear Lily speak and ask a few pertinent questions at this event tonight?

Can I just plead with sensible people not to leave Labour?

Nothing would please Momentum more than all the sensible (all the oft-derided 'centrists' i.e. not utterly delusional) people to leave and enable their asset stripping take-over?

This has the finger-prints of Momentum all over it.

I would argue strongly that all appeals to biology are anti-feminist

I'm a feminist woman waiting on a much-needed hysterectomy, on an NHS waiting list.

So fuck off.
