Mr Pollard has made his feelings quite clear. Perhaps you’d like to respond?

I don't do Twitter, but I'm encouraged that some people have already taken him on.

IAmLurkacus · 27/08/2018 11:22

Well there’s yet another reason not to vote labour.

FourRustedHorses · 27/08/2018 11:23

The famed misogynistic Dr has retweet Pollard. That says enough for me.

Pollard has still not condemned the attack on the grade I listed building. I’m disgusted by his wilful ignorance of targeted hate in his constituency.

I'm very disappointed. A mature balance needs to be sought between safeguarding trans people and women alike. More than many other MP's he was well positioned to walk that line and to have been a respected, unifying, wise voice working with constituents.

He's shown himself to be thoroughly naïve politically and under researched on the subject, for taking sides in such a divisive, reactive way at this point in the national debate. He's bringing heat not light and that benefits absolutely nobody.

PyeWackets · 27/08/2018 13:16

TranswimminAreWimmin is a political statement, that's all. People do not really believe it, they feel that that is the Right Thing to say right now.

Thanks for the link!

AngryAttackKittens · 27/08/2018 13:29

Yes, Luke, clearly that's the priority that you ought to be focusing on while your party is bleeding members and we're headed for a no-deal Brexit. Well done you.

Mm-hmm.

theOtherPamAyres · 27/08/2018 13:40

Does Mr Pollard (a gay man) challenge and call out those gay men who aren't attracted to transmen and wouldn't contemplate a relationship with a transman?

He ought to try it sometime Grin

Or read Jonny Best, Mr Pollard.

On the grounds that 'transmen are men' must be the corollary of his first statement?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 27/08/2018 13:51

Why do they NEVER say transmen are men unless they are called out on it

Disingenuous i call that Hmm

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 27/08/2018 13:53

Its always a fucking afterthought

Person A...transwomen are women

Person B....what about transmen

Person A....well obviously they are men, goes without saying

Disingenuous fuckwits

The Party of the Terminally Stupid cannot bleed membership quickly enough.

StroppyWoman · 27/08/2018 14:00

Labour are such a train wreck. It's heartbreaking, they ought to be going for the tories and challenging Brexit. Instead they're piddling about, infighting and spouting bollocks.

TwistedStitch · 27/08/2018 14:06

Whoever DeDe is on Luke Pollard's twitter thread, they are awesome. Labour are a fucking embarrassment.

BertrandRussell · 27/08/2018 14:22

I still want someone to tell me why we have to say that transwomen are women.

redshoeblueshoe · 27/08/2018 14:30

Just because - they say so

KathyBeale · 27/08/2018 14:31

I was listening to a thing on R4 the other day about alcohol and how men and women process it differently. It occurred to me that this is another physical fact that proves transwomen are not women. It’s just such rubbish.

I have a good friend who is a gay man, who is always tweeting about TERFs and the like (I suspect he may not be a good friend for much longer!). I always want to ask him - and this MP - if they would sleep with a transman who has a vagina.

Kyanite · 27/08/2018 14:55

We don't have to say transwomen are women...under schedule 9 of the Human Rights Act we have freedom of thought, belief and religion. Also, to be legally recognised as women, they must have a GRC.

Kyanite · 27/08/2018 14:55

I mean Article not Schedule.

AngryAttackKittens · 27/08/2018 15:02

Bloody TERFy livers, refusing to acknowledge the rights of the people they're in to identify as the gender the feel they are.
