How does LM hold a GRC? At only just 20 how have they been living as a woman for 2 years?

I think LM may be telling porkies.... it wouldn't be the first time.

I imagine LM identifies as having a GRC. I mean, why not at this point? In terms of untruths claimed it probably doesn't even make their top three

Lily says Lily can get pregnant, so I'm not entirely sure how much of what Lily says is based in reality.

LM is not that familiar with truth and reality

Lily is still denying having anything to do with the hitlists. And are they surprised to be getting 'irresponsible' media attention if they are always at the front of the queue to speak?

I wouldn't be surprised she was lying again, her accusation at Bellos was disgusting. What a nasty child.

Lily still hasn't responded re sharing a platform with an anti semite. Seems that lily cares for Jewish people as much as she does women.

Yes, according to LM there's literally no difference between LM and a woman who is not fertile/not at the fertile time of the month apparently. Or something. Completely delusional.

But the video shows members added by LM if they had nothing to do with the group then they wouldn't have added people.

on a positive note, Lilly peak-transed 15 yo DD last night, that, Marie Dean, and thinking about facing up to some of the rugby lads in her year in a womens rugby game.

Congratulations @MyVisionsDD

I saw this on twitter earlier. If taken on face value it suggests that the Corbyn youth revolution might not be quite so revolutionary. I think they will realise at some point what a mistake it was to lose so many older left wing women.

Indeed. The balance of power lies with 30 - 45 year olds. Particularly women.

I've thought this for some time. Especially since women in my age group are disillusioned and angry at being disregarded.

Presently, I wonder if I will spoil my ballot or vote for someone. I think they should all bother to actually work for my vote. None of them are atm so spoiling my ballot is winning.

I fully expect at the next election for MN to go crazy - when they eventually figure out who the pissed off swing voters are.

BBC The World At One - listen in from 28:43.

BBC World at one thread

Radio 4 29/01/18 at 1pm - Martha Kearney on World at Onewww.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3153264-Radio-4-29-01-18-at-1pm-Martha-Kearney-on-World-at-One

Just listened.

Quite a goady start to Linda's introduction tbh.

Why has Lily stopped with the kisses? Also, her vocabulary seems to have matured a bit. Is she identifying as a PR person?

Just listened, LM comes over as rather whiny and given to hyperbole, saying things have been party policy for decades - how would they know? ( and it’s not policy).
As for referring to Linda Bellos as a “supposed feminist” what a wally. Not surprised they don’t want to talk to Bellos, she’d wipe the floor with them. Wasn’t to keen on the amount of interrupting of Bellos but I am biased!

Indeed. The balance of power lies with 30 - 45 year olds. Particularly women.

Many of those angry women are also mothers of teens who will soon be voting and wives/partners of men, some of whom are fathers of daughters and all will be sons of older women. These disenfranchised women have influence in their homes and wider social circles and time to patiently, persistently lay out the potential risks of self ID to their nearest and dearest. Political parties that choose to ignore the views of these women and fail to debate the issue are short-sighted idiots. This is not like the gay rights movement at all.

angry women are also mothers of teens

you've witnessed the latest offering, with comments after about how its a mother's job to just accept their children for what they are and be simply passive, I take it...

I saw that rtb
Felt sorry for his mum, but also just how entitled is that? Telling mum's what their job is. Fuck right off

Political parties that choose to ignore the views of these women and fail to debate the issue are short-sighted idiots.

Ordinary people will revolt if they are force fed an endless diatribe of pomo, social constructionist nonsense and told they must obey or they are patronised, sneered at, and told they are bigots.

Did these people not notice that tactic failing miserably vis a vis Brexit?

The backlash will be huge. And we'll all suffer from it.

His mother has other younger kids who are struggling with it. They have called him by a different name their entire lives. But its all about Lily. All of it. And his mum's job is to go along with it all and not question anything or comment about how it might be upsetting the others.

Amazing that the role of 'mother' is seen as so lowly and not worthy of respect and that its just to facilitate the children not guidance them or look out for the interests of multiple children. A women's officer who views mothers like this...

I'd love to know that side of the story. I really would.

Labour lost 5,000 paying members last week. Which would have been a disaster under Brown/Miliband but is now basically a rounding error...

Exclusive: nearly 5000 people left the Labour Party last week
New figures show people 4,795 left the Labour Party last week - one of the biggest weekly falls since Jeremy Corbyn became leader.

According to the article it has been attributed to Remain voters not renewing their membership.

I would love to know the accuracy of this story. This source isn't the best, but fascinating to say the least.
