Fuck

I can't tell you how disappointed I am, I can't believe that she has thought this through. I voted for Plaid at the last election, too.

LittleLebowski · 13/03/2018 09:10

And the lies! Who the hell is 'debating transgenderism?

Sorry Wales....
terryleather · 13/03/2018 09:16

I just saw this on Twitter and couldn't believe it.

Apart from anything else the freedom of speech issue is huge, but nah too busy doing knee jerk virtue signalling.

What an ignorant woman.

Does anyone know any Welsh journalists? Is it worth tweeting them, letting them know that Leanne Woods is against debate?

UpstartCrow · 13/03/2018 09:51

Can you imagine the uproar if any other group were being legally erased?

AngryAttackKittens · 13/03/2018 09:51

It's so illogical. If what we have to say is clearly wrong then us saying it won't change anyone's mind, so why be so worried about it being said? The only reason to try to shut down the conversation is that you're afraid that people's minds will be changed, which you wouldn't be if you knew that you were on solid ground and could back up your arguments.

I'm not Welsh but I saw this yesterday - yes, it's very disappointing isn't it? Am off the read the comments.

LostArt · 13/03/2018 10:20

Am I understanding it correctly - she doesn't support the debate? Doesn't that fly in the face of democracy?

Mayday01 · 13/03/2018 10:27

Is there any official body this can be reported to?
Aside from the trans debate, surely official saying they don't support debate and people having a say in what affects them flies in the face of democracy.
These are our representatives and they need holding to account.

hackmum · 13/03/2018 10:30

Little - who's that person who wants to stop the debate at the House of Commons? I think Leanne Wood is going to look pretty foolish if she tries to intervene to stop people having a discussion at the HoC.

Terftastic · 13/03/2018 10:43

I'm not Welsh,, but I've always liked Leanne Wood when I've heard her speak.

I agree it's possible this is a knee-jerk reaction to a tweet she's received from a transactivist - a tweet which is horribly misleading.

I'd wager Leanne has not read what's written on A Woman's Place's website - but just wants to set herself away from "transphobia". That's what most of them are doing. Maybe.

I refuse to believe that all these MPs really believe that 'biological woman' as a legal category should be erased from the Equality Act. I just refuse to believe it. They have to come to their senses and actually listen to what we're saying.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 13/03/2018 11:02

She's (rightfully) being given a pasting.

Shouldn't be shocked, but I continue to be, that the very people who are supposed to be the bastions of democracy will throw it under a bus in a heartbeat in their virtue-signalling thirst to be perceived as 'progressive'.

MrsOvarall · 13/03/2018 11:10

David Davies (sp? Can never remember) is a Welsh MP, isn't he? The one who hosted the gender critical forum in the HoC? He should be all over this.

BiologyMatters · 13/03/2018 12:32

She's getting an absolute roasting on twitter. She should read up on stuff before she posts her opinion.

Can someone link to Leanne's Twitter please

hipsterfun · 13/03/2018 13:47

Look, Wales and Scotland, wanting to be more progressive than England is all very well, but please have a proper think first.
