This was the leaflet given out at the Labour Conference.

Well, that’s depressing

UpstartCrow · 02/10/2018 19:37

They seem to be saying all the trans criminals are actually transgender, not just men abusing the system.

AbsintheFriends · 02/10/2018 19:37

When there are so many points to address, it's quite amazing that it misses all of them so spectacularly.

WarmWishes · 02/10/2018 19:38

Someone GC should join the network.

RepealtheGRA · 02/10/2018 19:38

WTF did we start using the word ‘bathroom’ in the U.K.???

NothingOnTellyAgain · 02/10/2018 19:38

Transwomen have always been eligible for all women shortlists.

Confused

I thought it was a sex exemption.
TW with GRC maybe
Everyone else >> not so much

If Labour have always allowed anyone onto the shortlists as long as they uttered the magic words "I'm a woman" then they have been breaking the law for longer is all.

It's not "All feminine-people shortlsts" although with their habit of chucking out butch lesbians I suppose that's where they want to get to.

So to recap accoridng to Labour:

A woman is anyone who says they are one
Unless they don't perform femininity and then they aren't a woman at all (and they don't get to say what they are or are not > someone else decides)

So men say if they are IN the group women
And men say which women (cunty) must leave the group women

Well, whatever. So over all this utter steaming horseshit.

Fuck off fuck off fuck off fuckoff fuck off

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 02/10/2018 19:39

Them, not you R0wan

Mythbuster??? Fucking mythbusting involves FACTUAL fucking informations; not more fucking MYTHOLOGY

Deathgrip · 02/10/2018 19:40

Wow, space to address so many myths I’ve never heard, and yet no room to discuss the actual concerns people have. Impressive.

VickyEadie · 02/10/2018 19:40

Yes, the most interesting points are the ones they've failed (deliberately, I assume) to address.

It's a paper equivalent of "Shush, now."

AbsintheFriends · 02/10/2018 19:40

The 'Criminals will abuse the system to hide their identity' is particularly astonishing in its failure to say... anything.

RepealtheGRA · 02/10/2018 19:40

I can’t even finish reading that drivel. If the Labour Party are prepared to put their name to that I would rather vote UKIP. It is THAT BAD.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 02/10/2018 19:41

The last one is interesting

It should say "criminals will abuse the system" full stop.
Oh, but that wouldn't be a myth would it, so they can't put it on the leaflet.

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 02/10/2018 19:41

"Emotional cont and legal burden" of obtaining a GRC????

Fuck off

heresyandwitchcraft · 02/10/2018 19:42

Well well well well well.
Looks like the Fair Play for Women leaflets are spooking them.
I would take the time to debunk this step-by-step, but the arguments are EXACTLY THE SAME as we have seen a million times on MN, and never seen properly addressed by the trans lobby.

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 02/10/2018 19:43

"different types of women"

Fuck off

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 02/10/2018 19:43

sorry

VickyEadie · 02/10/2018 19:44

Mostly challenges to it on the Twitter feed, however.

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 02/10/2018 19:46

Jacky

Thank you Grin

KatVonGulag · 02/10/2018 19:52

Myth: Some trans people don't have gender disphoria.

Busted: Then they don't fit under the WHO definition of Gender Incongruence, so why are you even talking about them in that context.

KatVonGulag · 02/10/2018 19:53

And also fuck off

Turph · 02/10/2018 19:55

This is how a person can go from party member to vowing never to vote Labour again

nicenewdusters · 02/10/2018 19:55

Well who knew there were so many different types of women? I thought it was just tall, short, fair, sporty, etc. Now it's the male type as well. Good job the labour party have busted that myth for me. I must have been living in a cave (having been dragged in there by my hair of course).

SirVixofVixHall · 02/10/2018 19:57

Yes the “different types of women “ made me rage. I actually couldn’t bear to finish reading, it is such a pile of lies and head patting.
