Quite extraordinary rant. In response to the 'GetTheLOut' protest at LondonPride.

Children's Convenor. I kid you not.

The idea FermatsTheorem is that if they could be encouraged to spend their time trying to solve an unsolvable paradox, they'd spend less time abusing women.

littlebrowndog It's all any of them talk about, I wonder if they realise how boring it is. It's like a compulsion to educate everyone on a subject only they are interested in.

And I think our favourite women's officer is attempting to highlight the problem with the garam puzzle.

Kezia Dugdale branded the councillor’s comments “blatant sexism”

Is Kezia Dugdale GC?

^ that quote is from the article.

SturdyEarmuffs · 10/08/2018 15:59

She's very tight lipped on the whole issue. No idea.

Funny how they claim to hate toxic masculinity whilst it seeps from every pore, and claim to be feminists, yet the only women they care about are those with a penis.

It really leaps out at you doesn't it? I noticed it too, this man is a disgrace he is wearing his despicable misogyny on his sleeve and all these people pretend not to notice it just because he identified as 'non-binary' (and I ask you - who the hell isn't non-binary by the stringent rules of 'gender' these days?). He stinks of chauvinism, the hatred for women rolls off him and yet he wasn't sacked. He had to resign. Such bullshit.

It's a pretty self pitying not my fault type apology isn't it

As well as issues surrounding my personal life, I have also been subjected to a vicious and sustained string of abuse across various social media channels, a small fraction of which you have witnessed

This has led me to make a number of wrong judgements in communicating with people who campaign against my fundamental human rights. I have not handled this situation well in the slightest

Hackedoffwoman · 10/08/2018 18:29

He has only resigned from a couple committees. He is still a Councillor! Unbelievable he should have been sacked.

sexnotgender · 10/08/2018 19:39

How the fuck is he still a councillor? What a rancid excuse for a man.

happygolurkey · 10/08/2018 20:52

good that he's off the Children and Family Services Committee, but shocking he's still a councillor.

Unknowndevice · 10/08/2018 21:18

A certain Labour women’s Officer is saying it’s all so terribly hard being trans and linking to a BBC report on his resignation. Attention to detail not a strong point.

Sarahconnor1 · 10/08/2018 21:27

How the fuck is he still a councillor?

SNP isn't s/he? They are terminally woke, they won't suspend him

This is the real story about the Councillor resigning

Sigh bump because this is what really happened

AgentProvocateur · 11/08/2018 10:17

The man is an utter disgrace to the SNP.

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 10:23

I'm sick of this fake victim narrative

RiceandBeans · 11/08/2018 10:24

So is he a transman or is just a bloke identifying as non binary

I'm quite confused about this as well. I'm reasonably au fait with all this stuff, but the content of his Twitter feed & the article written about his attitude to having a 40% quota for women (not even half ) would seem to contradict his request (his pinned Tweet) that male pronouns not be used in reference to him.

Yet his behaviour is so so so similar to MRA men's rights activists' attitudes - particularly his attitude to requiring not-quite-equal representation of women in a public organisation - that either

a) totally misogynist biological man
b) self-hating deeply mentally unwell biological woman
c) deeply mentally unwell biological man who wants to appear more-radical-than-thou
d) nasty sexist misogynist, so who cares what they identify as? Nasty person

Cartertheunstoppablesexmachine · 11/08/2018 10:25

Scary that these shameless slime bags slither their way to such positions and abuse them.

Never good or transparent motives and this is why these unstable misogynists are fighting so hard to get into women's spaces too. So they can cock their legs up.

If I were a constituent I'd be calling for this unhinged person's dismissal.

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 10:27

Completely shameless yet news organisations collude in portraying him as a victim

RiceandBeans · 11/08/2018 10:28

I'm still v puzzled. How is he trans? Is he a transman? If so, he's REALLY transitioned, hasn't he - right into the nastiest anti-woman hatred I've seen.
