WEP - are they a lost cause or worth joining and trying to influence?

[StillAFeminist]

Politically homeless like many here and feeling immensely frustrated by it.

How much are WEP dominated by TW? Is it worth joining and trying to influence ?

THere have been a couple of recent threads discussing this, worth looking for and perhaps bumping and/or linking to this.

Any and all parties are worth joining to try to influence IMO.

Assuming they match your other values, politically.

Sophie walker definitely gets it. She's not sticking her neck all the way on the block but she's absolutely gender critical. I have hopes.

Thanks Rowantrees I've been around this board a little while (NC regularly and end up choosing just a few topics to follow at anyone time) but haven't really used the search function before

Interesting thread here on WEP debating self id at their conference in September www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3325882-WEP-conference-questions-for-panel-of-trans-rights-advocating-barristers

One of the WEP founders (who judging by twitter is firmly self ID) is asking for people (priority to WEP members) to come and speak in a "conciousness raising" group. "The purpose of the session is not debate, nor agreement. The purpose of the session is to listen."
