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)

On twitter recently a case came up in the US where a brave woman had taken on her employers unfair dismissal with the help of a charity and won.

She had leaked her period onto her chair at work, a job that meant she was tied to her chair for long periods of time. Her boss told her next time she did it she would be sacked. It happened again of course and despite cleaning up the spot she had leaked on the carpet she was sacked. She fought and won.

Now, point is can any 40 odd year old women here even imagine going to a 19 year old trans youth and raising this issue? I mean can you?

Does his new job even entail issue like this? If not and it’s all just a public relations photoshop moment then why the title of women’s officer?

Surely it’s just ‘photo opportunity virtue signalling trans as a job’?

Makemysogny, just curious, why are you asking for a data protection request?

I'm not the PP but they will hold data on you as a member and I would recommend this as well both to find out what they hold on you, verify if it is correct, and as first step to requiring them to delete it (even if you have to wait for right to be forgotten to be enforced).

You might also ask as part of that for full disclosure on third parties eg Momentum or fringe groups who seem to share a remarkable amount of data with official Labour.

Her name is Alisha for anyone searching. Fucking go Alisha well done babe.

TitaniasCloset · 20/11/2017 20:05

Yes that’s what I’m saying garlic this is a vulnerable young person, however irritating. His narcissism and mummy told me I was a special snowflake demeanour make him more vulnerable not less. He lacks the maturity to handle criticism and has a damaged sense of self.

But obviously Labour don’t give a fuck. I don’t know what to do about my membership really.

Flora I did yes, I assumed my dogs gender. In fairness he has a penis. But I apologise, in truth I have never asked him which gender he prefers. He also has an obsession with cats, he could identify as trans species for all I know. I shall try calling him puss puss and present him with catnip tomorrow.

My thought on reading Lily's own words is I can't believe any university has accepted them, the illiteracy is astounding....

But also, yes, young and vulnerable. Shouldn't be in this position for all kinds of reasons.

CLP should look at its rules, realise that Lily was ineligible to stand, apologise for allowing the election to go ahead and give the position to Claire [surname unknown] who also stood.

Him saying that the twitter account is fake..I asked him how come it says created in 2013 and posts are also from then (all innocently of course so as not to be immediately deleted). He replied 'I am not sure' then removed my comment.

Not sure if the attachment will work or not.

What exactly is transmisogyny?
Am I mad or am I supposed to believe it’s when ciswomen express misogynistic behaviour towards trans women? So basically when women are misogynistic towards men? Confused
And I’m actually supposed to buy this shit?

BatShite · 20/11/2017 20:20

Ugh gone really small.

Is still small but a little readible? not sure how to make it fullsized

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 20/11/2017 20:20

Rogue

Because I don't trust them and also because I think any extra work they have to do will perhaps annoy them into thinking about their repercussions. It's usually the women in the background doing the work in the LP (I have literally done the leg work, leafleting) and if there are fewer of us doing the work then the men might have to finally listen. So anything to make it harder for them to ignore discontent.

Gileswithachainsaw · 20/11/2017 20:22

Still can't read it bat :(

OK lets try again. This is annoying me as it shows fullsize on my comp :S

Him saying its fake, then removing my reference to it being made in 2013 shows it is not fake though surely..

Make mysoginy you make a great point. It does tend to be women who do the hard work in these situations. Getting these same women to bail out and ask questions would be a smart move.

BatShite · 20/11/2017 20:26

Jesus christ. Anyone decent with images wanna PM me an email address i can send the original to?!

TitaniasCloset · 20/11/2017 20:26

It comes up blurry when I enlarge it.

NotAgainYoda · 20/11/2017 20:26

Aaaargh

Ignore me. I posted tosh

TitaniasCloset · 20/11/2017 20:27

😂 batshit

BatShite · 20/11/2017 20:27

ibb.co/eZavF6 Is a bit better. Wow this is stressful

Gileswithachainsaw · 20/11/2017 20:28

Still no good here.. .

But if he can erase a comment that quick he could shut down a profile in less than 3 years no?

Gileswithachainsaw · 20/11/2017 20:29

X post I can see that last one..
Such a liar

TitaniasCloset · 20/11/2017 20:30

Explained this situation to one of my good friends again tonight. Very working class and she says she depends on me to tell her this shit as it doesn’t come up on the news. As I keep saying ordinary people are so shocked when they are confronted with this.

You don’t need a PhD to understand that this is plain wrong. In fact I’m thinking some highly educated women and teenagers get sucked in.

RogueBiscuit · 20/11/2017 20:38

Thanks Ch8 and makemysogny. I think I'll do the same. I won't support them while they erode our rights and expect our assistance in doing it. I'd like to see all women leave, they might take us seriously then.

OlennasWimple · 20/11/2017 20:40

Yeah, someone hacked Twitter to create a fake profile purportedly from 2013 Hmm
