FFS!

Depressing, but not surprising. 4000 cases of antisemitism reported, barely a suspension. How many feminists now chucked out?

PracticallyTerfectInEveryWay · 25/01/2018 19:15

Bloody hell. Suspended for saying women don't have dicks?

LangCleg: can you imagine the shitstorm that would result if a Labour trans candidate were to be elected as an MP and the Tories responded by mounting a legal challenge that they had become a candidate as a result of a misrepresentation, ie entitlement under the EA2010?

Exactly! They're leaving themselves wide open. And openly saying that they don't think the rule of law applies to them.

I'm honestly staggered by the behaviour of Labour.

**"Transwomen are women"

And of course, it's the acceptance or non-acceptance of that premise which determines whether the ideology lives or dies. Which is why it's so frustrating -and understandable- that no TRA will define what a damn woman is!**

Absolutely. And now women are being suspended from the Labour Party for daring to say they don't believe it's true. That women don't have dicks.

I can’t see how women can stand behind this party. Women were such a strong force in the Labour Party and now they are just shutting on them because of a refusal to say the magic words ‘men can be women’ even if hey have a penis. Not ‘feminine’ or ‘woman like’ but actual women and stomp on their rights to behave and go where they like, sticking two fingers up at anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable or agree with this.

Feel panicky in a changing room because there is a man with a working penis naked next to you? Maybe you’ve been raped, are devoutly religious and can’t allow a man to see you naked, or just don’t feel comfortable. Well boo boo you lady! This lady will have hurty feelings so you have to back down, roll over and shut up.

Women have been more tolerant, I feel, of transsexuals and transvestites - how many gangs of women have beaten the living snot out of a man in a dress vs gangs of lads?

Men are - whatever the reason - generally more violent than women. Some of these shouters are very male in their willingness to inflict violence on (mostly) women. That’s an odd thing isn’t it? Male pattern violence qnd aggression? Does that feel like a woman?

When I ordered a copy of mine I just had to put in my name and where I was born and then pay a tenner or something. I ordered my husband one too. I could have ordered anyone's.

Yep. I had a copy of my son's DHLed to another country in less than 2 days for under 50 quid, and you can order anyone's you like, knowing a bare minimum of information.

Given what you have to provide to apply for a job these days, being asked for your birth certificate for a public servant position doesn't seem that unreasonable a request.

Well, except for British culture and our anti-paper stancewhere I am now, the lawyer was aghast at the idea that in the UK we're not required to carry any kind of ID, even when we're driving.

Funnily enough, the Labour Party's blasé attitude over losing long-standing women members because they think a sudden influx of young people are more valuable reminds me of the dotcom bubble.

I was working for a very stable money-making company with a very long history. They got a new CEO who looked at the Internet mania raging at the time, went "O.M.G. FOMO!", and sold all the money-making bits to buy puffed up bits of Internet fluff for billions. The company took about 5 years to die.
