'I've grown up as a woman'

NO YOU HAVENT.

You haven't grown up.
You were a boy.

Who is the interviewer? Are they prepared for the hysterical death threats?

I feel a bit sorry for Lily now really. Imagine if any of your teenage flights of fancy made the mainstream media.

Morto.

If this is what representing women means we might as well not bother electing a women's officer. FFS. Angry

And I would say the same to anyone talking about wanting to be an MP at 19.

Do you think lily is going to look back in 20 years at all this and just want to hide?

I wonder what she was really thinking as she was asking those questions...?

This is ridiculous. He is little more than a child, yet now has all this power and responsibility. It’s not only unfair on the women he’s supposed to represent but also on him too, he’s totally out of his depth and CANNOT bring what is required to such a role. The questions were totally dumbed down and the interviewer was even speaking slowly, as though to a child. It’s embarrassing!

She was thinking 'why am I asking such stupid questions to this 'woman'

Interviewer is Cathy Newman, she's usually pretty good.

But what a simpering wankstain Lily is.

oh fgs this is a 19y old gay boy having bought up in an area where it wasnt easily accepted. Im sure he's had a very difficult time and I think its great he's come through it and going into politics, but hes a 19y old boy who barely knows himslef and can hardly string a sentence together yet. All this "I'd be good for this". Ludicrous Emperor's New Clothes. Good for her for sorting out who she is and its clearly not a heterosexual man, but neither is it a typical woman

Lily looked terrified. Bottom lip wobbling constantly.

Why can't they just have Trans officers, why do they have to be women's officers?

.... Shock

Oh Lily. I'll use the 'she' pronoun.

She comes across as so so young. I think this interview shows that she got the post purely for ideological reasons. I just cannot believe she could possibly have presented to anyone as capable of taking in the women's officer role. The answers given showed no humility or understanding of women's concerns.

I feel sorry for Lily really. Clearly so ill equipped and others bear responsibility for putting her in that position. Poor fucker.

Just watched it, and I'm worried about him, poor kid. He is being used.

yes so yiung, inexperienced, ineloquent. High schools are full of peiple like her, not in any way shape or form ready to be a womans officer.
