Some GC great comments on this, and not so much from the transcult.

Is the tide turning?

Daniel Blake is a movie, surely?

Angela Rayner has so many privileges to check, it's a wonder she makes it through the front door of a morning. Grin

The irony of Labour calling for a ban on early pregnancy sex testing is lost on Angela. Presumably her logic would be that female foetuses need to check their privilege over trans foetuses - because you know 'assigned at birth' and all that.

That’s the most openly GC I’ve seen Hadley Freeman being so far- good for her.

Kyanite · 21/09/2018 11:27

There's a feeling of "we've really had enough of this" in that thread.

Daniel Blake is a movie, surely?

Yep, I Daniel Blake, by Ken Loach ( long time leftie film director, Corbyn fan ) filmed in Newcastle.

Incidently, currently shooting a new film there at the moment too.

To frame being recognised as a woman as some sort of privilege is about as far away from supporting women's rights support as just about anything can be. How one of our female MPs can do this is beyond me. This is MRA talk.

Yes, it is MRA talk. Coming from a women mp.

She either understand what she is saying and is willing to disregard feminism for male approval. Or she is just parroting something she doesn't fully understand.

She went for peak woke and got her ass handed to her.

Good. She's a fucking traitor to her sex.

CrackpotsArePots · 21/09/2018 12:01

Excellent thread.

But OMG the pictures of the forearm mutilation that results from the creation of a pseudo penis

pancaketosser · 21/09/2018 12:09

The blocking of dissenting voices by activists on that thread is very cult-like isn't it?

IAmLurkacus · 21/09/2018 12:50

I’m amazed that there are people on Twitter that are able to comment on this. She’s quicker to block than Owhine.

Even if John McDonnell came out of his meeting with WPUK and announced that woman = adult human female and that anyone born Male was being removed from prisons, refuges, AWS, etc with immediate effect, I would still never vote labour all the while she is a member.

I don't think Rayner is very bright. Remember she said she was keeping the bench next to her in parliament warm for Lily Madigan? Why would you do that for someone you barely know anything about? Everything Madigan has done since then has shown them to be a liability, and it's only a matter of time before they do something absolutely beyond the pale. That tweet will come back to haunt her.

Juells · 22/09/2018 19:06

That tweet will come back to haunt her.

You'd hope so, but nothing ever seems to stick to woman-shafting politicians.

ShotsFired · 22/09/2018 19:47

Perhaps we need to set up a similar repository to the "it never happens" stuff - for all the woke folk, so we can look back and remind them what they said and oh-so-vehemently believed, when this shitshow really comes to town and they all retreat and try and rewrite history....

(if such a thing doesn't already exist, which it might, judging by the encyclopaedic knowledge of some here!)

Is this person for real?

What worries me most is that she is shadow minister for education. Will she put safeguarding before standing with her trans sisters (no mention of trans brothers)?

ChattyLion · 23/09/2018 11:42

Turph that is a brilliant comment. I hadn’t thought of it that way before but so true. Some really excellent comments on that thread.

I have seen quite a few ‘TW are my sisters’ type of posts of this same kind, from that are not-very-bright, man-pleasing types. (From Female people)

I haven’t spotted a single tweet from TW ardently saying ‘cis women are my sisters’ but maybe I am not looking at the right threads?

Rayner says that it’s offensive that her feminism is being questioned because it’s for ALL women.

I don’t recall TW saying that their feminism is for ALL women.

Seems to be much more posts about TWAW, sad TERFs etc, cute clothes, not really mentioning feminism at all.

Strange that. Hmm

Juells · 23/09/2018 11:47

not really mentioning feminism at all.

apart from telling women that they're doing it wrong if they centre women.
