LGBT Lib Dem's Twitter: what are they on?

This account is running wild!:-

Recent posts:
And if any assault involving a trans woman happens in a woman’s space, it’s far more likely she’s the victim, not the aggressor.

It would be far more proportionate to ban transphobes from these spaces. Hope that helps.

Finally, trans women are women, so women’s services are theirs too.

  1. If an assualt involving a transwoman in a woman's space involves 'aggressors', why are they seeking to get into 'women's spaces'? That sounds as dangerous as being in male spaces. Why wouldn't you be campaiging for separate spaces away from these 'aggressive' females? Why on earth would you want 'in' to these spaces if they're not safe either? (Answer from LGBT Lib Dems 'ban the transphobes females who don't want males in their spaces )

  2. ban transphobes from these spaces This exposes the real agenda. Take out females who don't want male bodies in their spaces. 'They should be removed'.

I'm gob-smacked that any true Lib Dem would support this view point.

The very fact that the LibDems refuse to condemn the nutters who run this account is why they’ll never be taken seriously as s party.

littlbrowndog · 06/07/2018 23:20

Och they just trolling really.

pombear · 06/07/2018 23:23

They may be trolling, but no one in senior positions have the appetite to discuss the issue - apart from Brian Paddick, and look what happened to him! Come on Lib Dem people - is this really the ship you're going to go down on?

Is this an official Libdem account. My libdem MP is amazing but she is likely to loose my vote if this is the official Libdem line.

FloralBunting · 06/07/2018 23:33

Bless them. Not one tiny bit of ambition to get into government at all. You've got to grudgingly admire someone whose grip on reality is so tenuous that they will still believe they are a political force and put out stuff like this. It's like the Monster Raving Loony Party believing they've got a shot at coalition...

SeaWitchly · 06/07/2018 23:51

They are an absolute disgrace Angry

pombear · 06/07/2018 23:56

Yep, this has distanced me from Lib Dem politics. If they accept this account as part of their official stance, they've lost me.

Not that they seem to care!

I think the Lib Dems have bigger fish to fry atm...

However, in a few years, once they are again in view of getting into power, this Twitter account will truly haunt them.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/07/2018 00:40

What are these tweeters on? Borrowed time, I hope.

Ereshkigal · 07/07/2018 00:43

This. Fuck them.

LizzieSiddal · 07/07/2018 00:47

Im in my 50s and have voted Lib Den in every local and national election. Having watched the lack of condemnation by anyone in authority in the Party, I will never vote for them again.

BesmirchingMotherhood · 07/07/2018 00:48

It wouldn’t be a blanket ban on trans, it’d be a blanket ban on trans people who are men. Trans people who are women would still be able to use the women’s facilities on account of being female.

AngryAttackKittens · 07/07/2018 00:50

I was going to say meth, but they're not coherent enough.

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 07/07/2018 00:59

Glue. They’re on glue.

Males will always have priority over females, even when said male is assaulting a female.

This is the lesson

Lib Dems? RIP

Hi Lippy. Experience from countries where these kind of laws have been introduced suggests it’s often not women who end up policing these rules, but misogynist male managers.

It looks a lot like you want trans women to suffer and get hurt. However, these things always backfire.”

Yep “it looks a lot like you want trans women to suffer and get hurt”. There is that crucial leap. If you don’t completely, 100% agree with these activists then YOU LUST FOR THE BLOOD OF A TRANS PERSON, YOU CRUEL TRANSPHOBIC BITCH. The leap is astonishing.

"Please don't show me your penis"

"HOW DARE YOU DO YOU WANT ME TO LITERALLY DIE OF INVALIDATION?"

Just sent this to Layla Moran

Thank you for your response and for alerting me to the consultation.

On a related note I have read with some concern the tweets from the LGBT Libdem twitter account. This account completely disregards the concerns, rights and safety of girls, calling anyone who wants to discuss those concerns transphobic.

I am upset and disappointed to read this. I am sorry to say if this is the official view of the Libdems you have lost my vote. Which is a shame because you are a fantastic MP. I have a lot of respect and admiration for you.

Many trans people are against self ID. The sterling work done by groups such as Women’s Place UK is raising valid awareness about the ramifications of a man being recognised as a woman purely because he says he is. People are becoming concerned about the impact on prisons, healthcare, sport, refuges, changing rooms, girls groups, crime statistics, health research and so on. (I think this argument gets deliberately derailed by toilets to be honest). But to see the way members of your party acting in an official capacity as LibDems are talking to women and dismissing their concerns is troubling to say the least.

mobile.twitter.com/LGBTLD/status/1015172895050526721

I respect anyone’s right to express themselves in whatever way they want or need. However woman are granted rights based on their biological sex and these need to be protected.

In the US recently a woman lost out in a lucrative sports scholarship because she lost a 100 metre race to a trans woman. A biological male. She was never going to win that race. Is this the future you see for our young women?

If the Libdems are firmly behind the “trans women are women” stance and that all you need to do to be treated as a woman is to say you are one, then this is the future you support and you will not have my vote.

Trans people have valid concerns and have the right to live their lives without fear, violence or prejudice. But that cannot be at the expense of the safety and girls and this twitter account utterly dismisses those concerns.

I look forward to your response.

I don't know if you have seen '5 steps to tyranny' but many trans activists are on step 3 and 4, and are now promoting actively harming non compliant women.

The 5 steps are;

  1. “us” and “them”
  2. obey orders
  3. do “them” harm
  4. “stand up” or “stand by” (standing by as harm occurs)
  5. exterminate ''them''

twofalls that's a really well thought out and reasonable e-mail.

I hope you get the response it deserves.

A number of people have reported being advised that the account is unaffilited.

PlectrumElectrum · 07/07/2018 13:18

They are currently losing their shit over lesbian being allowed to lead the pride London parade. I don't know all the specifics but they were originally asked to leave the March, they lay down in the road to protest and then they were allowed to lead the march. And the LGBTLD twitter is in meltdown mode.

I salute those lesbians. Brew

SoapOnARoap · 07/07/2018 13:23

The LibDems are a joke minority party
