''100 years on since the first women got the vote, there are still inequalities in the feminist movement. Why are some feminists still failing transwomen?

The evidence is there if you look for it – Transphobic leaflets being given out in the safe zone at Labour annual conference; prominent party feminists suggesting violence against transwomen; someone being kicked out of a Labour Women’s Network party for harassing a teenage trans woman; fundraisers being started to try and legally challenge Labours trans-inclusive policies; transwomen being excluded from Labour run women’s events by a women’s officer. The list goes on.

Most state their actions aren’t transphobic at all, but they are merely seeking the protection of women’s spaces. Some go further, suggesting transwomen are men’s right activists working purposely to erode women’s hard won protects. They commonly misgender people like me as a means to belittle our experiences and score social media points. And so I think its fair we question how much authority they have as cis-women to decide whether they are being transphobic.''

It continues in this vein.

For you mamaryllis

Oh FFS - how much flak would there be if under normal circumstances a political party women's officer tweeted asking for cute clothes, never mind the size 8. The press would be over it like a rash saying women back 200 years. Let's forget gender for a moment & just say - love, what the fuck are you doing. That is not the responsible behaviour of a public figure. Now step down. Internship at vogue?

Please let someone donate the M&S pink dress in a size 8.

I'll buy him this:

Or this?

The extra, extra, Teflon coated, indestructible, double standards privilege of being able to publically beg for undersized clothes in order be affirmed in a delusion.

Making the Labour Party an absolute laughing stock.

😂

Yes, can you imagine if Mairi Black had some something like this, what the reaction would have been?

And surely LM doesn't count as unemployed if they're a student? And even if one is fairly broke, Primark has many pink things... I can't stand all this disingenuous "poor me" behaviour. When are they going to do anything they were elected to do?

People are falling over themselves to send him clothes. Pathetic

I think Lily could do with a Style and Beauty intervention. Wearing the wrong size clothes is never a good look,

Have I just glimpsed a plea for free cute clothes from a so called Labour Party Women's Officer? The one who went to meet rape victims who didn't know there was a willy lurking under the lipstick?

I haven't got a twitter.
Can people please send a shout up for me?

"Former human rights activist ( declined the MBE approach) seeks big knitted Cardies and heavy duty Tena (unused).
Two toddlers to unexpectedly support late in life.
No Haribo.
Thanks"

I'm loving the Brownies being on the TERF blocker list. Grown men pretending to feel threatened by little girls - you couldn't come up with a better metaphor for how full of shit they are.

(If I was in London I'd pop over and take the girls some cake to say "well done and carry on as you are".)

Oh for goodness' sake, if that inept youth can't even budget for a new hoodie or look at a calendar like everyone else, why the heck should s/he be considered competent to represent anyone over the age of 5?

Clothes don't cost more when you're transgender, unless there is some new tax that I'm unaware of.

Urgh, Traffig, thanks so much for that unexpected image of a willy in lipstick.

Yes, I know that's not quite what you typed.

The Emperor wants new clothes

Baba-ba Ram Brown

Making the Labour Party an absolute laughing stock.

Given the Daily Mail is usually all over MN, why haven't they picked up on this.....?

Well, I mean, he'd have to buy clothes in the size he identifies as needing, and then buy another set in the size he actually needs, and that could get expensive.

"Well, I mean, he'd have to buy clothes in the size he identifies as needing, and then buy another set in the size he actually needs, and that could get expensive."

And sew the label from the clothes he identifies as needing into the clothes he actually needs. Which is time-consuming and means he has no time to find a job.

Why don't we all send him a pair of jeans and a t shirt. Or, for the "older lady" look, a pair of M&S slacks and a cardigan. You know, the sort of clothes that women actually wear.....

"Well, I mean, he'd have to buy clothes in the size he identifies as needing, and then buy another set in the size he actually needs, and that could get expensive"

Ha ha ha

S/He's supposed to be a bloody fashion student, isn't s/he? Go and make some clothes out of recycled Salvation Army donations or something.

Expecting a trans girl to sew things themselves is transphobic oppression! Obviously his mum should do it for him, and if she doesn't he'll have another moan about how unsupportive she is.

Size 8?
SIZE FUCKING EIGHT?

That fella stands the same height as Jeremy Corbyn, and he thinks he fits a women's SIZE EIGHT??

Face palm, head desk etc etc etc. Oh Labour. What have you done.

He might, actually -- isn't it about 34/26/34 or something? DS would measure about that, being a skinny youth (and obviously having no bust), but you also need a lack of decent shoulder/chest muscles.
