Dear me! What did the Brownies do?!

Grin

Are we supposed to believe a bunch of perverted grown men are scared and discriminated against by little girls?

Mumsnut · 07/02/2018 13:41

Maybe a young TIM was turned down for membership?

CAAKE · 07/02/2018 13:52

Yes, no, the Battersea Brownies are on the twitter TERFBlocker list, not the Labour Party list.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 07/02/2018 14:23

I'm guessing someone overreacted to 'Mummy? Why is that man wearing a dress?' Grin

I resigned from the LP recently over the AWS stance ,still getting emails from branch.
Today;
Area LP Womens Meeting;
'In light of recent events ,our event is inclusive of all self-identified women and we hope this event is a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other and discuss our ideas'
Yours in sisterhood

If it was any sweeter teeth could fall out

The TERF blocker on Twitter. I'd love to know what the wee ones did to end up on the naughty list.

I was added to it after asking Lily Madigan what they were actually going to do for women besides kicking them out of the party.

I didn't even mention trans, in any way so not sure how/why I got added

Labour party emailing asking for money to buy this merch "we won't stop until women are fully represented" what a joke

They won't stop until women are fully represented by men.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 07/02/2018 22:57

Nice one bewilderness. Can you paint it purple and green and sell it on twitter? Grin

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 08/02/2018 01:05

How dare they be trying to get money for that shit. Seriously. While all of this self ID rubbish is being supported and whilst there is a male person as womans officer and whilst there is a 'secret' facebook group collecting womens details to get them kicked out of the party. Its really like they are purposely trolling us.

LapdanceShoeshine · 08/02/2018 10:14

You know Jennifer James posted the list of the members of the secret squirrels group?

Some of them were whining on Twitter “I’m underage and she naaaaaamed me, I’m going to complaaaaaaain” Hmm

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 08/02/2018 11:43

Absolute contempt. Contempt for us as a class and contempt for the suffragettes even as they use them to virtue signal.

And - as anyone on the Relationships board will tell you - contempt is the one thing no relationship can withstand.

HairyBallTheorem · 08/02/2018 11:51

I got that Labour party email (they haven't noticed the cancelled DD yet!) I was pretty furious.

Lefty99 · 08/02/2018 11:51

I'm still a member but spoke up about this issue publicly recently only to be labelled ignorant, transphobic, oppressive, need educating, etc. Really torn as to whether to jack it all in or not. Feel quite isolated being a lone voice.

pamish · 09/02/2018 16:33

blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/02/can-we-have-an-honest-debate-about-gender/ Spectator article by James Kirkup on the need to have open debate.

thebewilderness · 09/02/2018 19:55

Do you suppose they are underage as a matter of fact or do they identify as underage the way Stephonknee does?

Ereshkigal · 10/02/2018 12:37

I saw on twitter that the rumour is that the Brownies' post which got the group put on the TERF block list is this one: twitter.com/1stbattersea/status/960998141590953984

boatyardblues · 10/02/2018 12:55

If true, the mind boggles. There is nothing dodgy in that tweet!

Ereshkigal · 10/02/2018 13:15

I went through the entirety of their twitter timeline myself and there is nothing else.

TerfyMcTerface · 10/02/2018 13:25

That tweet is clearly objectionable because women aren't supposed to be strong. They should be simpering delicate creatures who like fluffy wuffy kittens and baking cakes and wearing pink. Unless they are the kind of woman that has a penis, and then they can punch 60-year-old cis-women in the face.

Number Cruncher Politics @ NCPoliticsUK
YouGov tables are out... The 3-point fall in the Labour share is entirely explained by a 6-point fall among women (from 46% to 40%)

This from three days ago.

Remember my previous poster about the biggest single drop in Labour Membership.

Well that plus this.

What does it look like?

dogendsaredogs · 11/02/2018 02:00

redtoothbrush I am a LP protest leaver and I have SO been hoping the reported drop was real and was womankind. Hurray! Thanks for posting this, I need some good news. I get so down about this.

aaahhhBump · 11/02/2018 11:53

I previously commented on the last thread. I am not a party member and have never been a member of the labour party.

This morning I received the email regarding the 100 years tat that they are flogging having never having signed up for the labour party news letter or having ever received any emails prior to this.

Has anyone else had one for the first time this week?
