That pushed me over the edge and gave me more drive to finish off my response to the consultation. I'm still a Labour member, joined under Corbyn during last election, but hanging on by a string. Over time I've contacted Jess Phillips, Stella Creasy, Angela Rayner, Dawn Butler. Given up on the last two. I don't even know if Corbyn knows what's going on or thinks about what he says, he probably just wants to be nice to and help and give support to any perceived oppressed group, and Stonewall etc. get in everyone's ear, and lie and play on emotions. He probably thinks this will win the youth vote too. Well I'm in my 20s, don't know if I'm youth anymore but this is making me want to leave Labour, along with other issues. I don't want my money going to a party intent on supporting a policy that is detrimental to me, and society. So yeah I'll probably leave if I find out how. Ugh do I really have to make a trip to the bank to cancel the direct debit. Wish I could just resign online. I hold more hope for John McDonnell, he said after mumsnet chat that Labour must listen to women's concerns. Someone posted on Twitter the other day they emailed John to say they were leaving Labour, anyone see that? He pleaded with her to think again about leaving and said he'd met with Women associated with Womans Place about the issue last week and said 'we' (he and who?) are encouraging wider discussion and consultation

But then Labour Twitter posts that and jeremy said whatever he said. I haven't listened to/read what he said exactly tbh. Can't bare it. I don't know who runs Woman's Place or whoever is associated to them that John met with. I think I read somewhere it was a woman to do with trade unions or the wife of someone high up in trade unions. John may know them personally?
If Labour are set on this and Tories change their mind on self ID, I'd rather Tories stay in government tbh. Yikes.
