'Letter from the Commissioner to Cllr Zoë O'Connell, 23 May 2018
I wrote to you on 27 March 2018 to say that I was beginning an inquiry into your allegation of a breach of House of Commons rules by Mr David TC Davies MP. I am writing now to let you know the outcome.
I have corresponded with Mr Davies and I have consulted the Serjeant at Arms.
Having considered carefully the evidence I have obtained, I do not uphold the allegation.'

Thanks, OrchidInTheSun, Yup, you are right, Brown is LibDem. I keep confusing "LGBT" reps from Greens with Lib Dems and vice versa (probably bc their behaviour is so similar)

That Guardian interview gave some insight.

"I come out as trans first and then bisexual," says Zoe. "Just when people are getting really confused you hit them with 'poly' and their mind just explodes."

Mate, you’re not that interesting. Really.

Mate, you’re not that interesting. Really.

Painfully attention seeking!

Also says transitioning is "sexually taboo".

That's a new one on me.

Oh, this was written by the partner of the notorious Auntie Sarah of lick my pickled balls fame? And suddenly everything is clear.

Ereshkigal · 31/05/2018 21:35

Is that right?

TerfsUp · 31/05/2018 23:12

Mate, you’re not that interesting. Really.

Indeed. It takes much more than that to make my head explode.

TerfsUp · 31/05/2018 23:15

Ooops. Make my mind - not my head - explode.

Attention seeking is tedious.

I'm kinda conflicted about the woman involved. On the one hand she hasn't got to bother with the guys because they have each other, but on the other had if she did want to bother...

How long till this is gone?

"The president of the BCNDP which is the political party in power in the province right now, Morgane Oger, has proudly continued the campaign to end Vancouver Rape Relief's work to heal survivors of male violence, calling the org a "private hate club."

"Yesterday, Oger told a survivor of female genital mutilation that her insistence that the mutilation happened due to her sex, not gender, was an excuse to be transphobic since the survivor insisted biological sex is relevant to women's oppression."
