Gather LM is saying that they had to give up the previous post because they left the area (to go to Goldsmiths) but they're now standing for the women's officer post in Lewisham Deptford CLP. Voting is on Sunday, apparently.

Does Lily have a STEM qualification?

“Girls Who Code welcomes into our community and programs anyone who identifies as female regardless of assignment at birth. Our programs also welcome people who identify as non-binary or gender nonconforming and want to be in a female-identified environment.”

Girls who code is not just for girls, is the message. Because there is nothing just for girls any more.

Sarah Dorman, the woman who was elected vice chair for lewisham and deptford labour women’s forum, has retweeted some interesting tweets:

Maybe the word 'TERF' gives anti-trans advocates too much credit.
They say that only gender-conforming people have the right to safety. That people deserve violence for stepping out of line. It's not feminism, and it's not radical. It's patriarchy in a pussy hat.

My sources have revealed the Very Sensible Programme for Gender Revolution

  1. Stop butch lesbians or tall femmes using public toilets
  2. Actively call for trans women to be killed
  3. Doxx, shame and harass gender non-conforming people
  4. ????
  5. Goodbye patriarchy

They obviously don’t know any ‘terfs’ then, nor have they seen any photos of ‘terfs’ or watched any ‘terf’ speakers on YouTube.

How you could describe Anne Ruzylo or Linda Bellos as ‘gender conforming’ or the ‘patriarchy in a pussy hat’ is beyond me.

But Aimee is a whizz at the old computer. A better option?

Speaking of which, I think Sarah is using a blocklist as I'm blocked by her but have never interacted with her and also very rarely do anything other than read on twitter.

Madigan is a very odd character though. I can't think of the proper word for it - but they seem to just attach themselves to something, and then move on to the next.

First, it was "fighting" the school, then the Bexhill campaign, then the bike ride that never was, then trying to volunteer in a women's refuge that - thankfully - never happened, then the period poverty with the scribbled felt-tip on their hand, then Lewisham, etc.

They come across as flaky and very narcissistic. What I found most telling is when they said they were going to "reclaim my Women's Officer post" in Lewisham. It shows such entitlement - they couldn't care less about Lewisham or the women there - it's just to get something, to feel validated. And as soon as they lost they move on to the next thing: in this case, the Gay Times nomination.

But what can you say about someone who was born male, has male genitalia, says they can get pregnant, talks about being a mother one day, then talks about a womb transplant as though it's the easiest thing in the world. All the while saying that their main, overriding aim in life is to be the UK's first transgender MP and ultimately the UK's first transgender Prime Minister! Shock

Dillydally - I think fickle and shallow cover it...
