Manchester's latest feminist collective release thier new website with an EXCLUSIVE investigation into the sacking of Labour Woman's officer Morgan Horn.
Trigger warning. Contains reference to Lily Madigan.

My first ever proper article. I hope you like it.

Nice work OP. It's good to have a record of these ludicrous shenanigans but how acutely embarrassing for those involved - though I doubt they see it that way.

Anyway lets hope the Labour movement sorts them out, in same way as a good bowel movement by excreting this whole shower of shite out of politics.

The standard LM98 twitter handle is back & contributed this last night.

WTF is “overall” supposed to mean? I’m tempted to ask but don’t want to risk my current access-all-areas ID

I'm guessing it comes from this: williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/AFSP-Williams-Suicide-Report-Final.pdf

Context for how it's used:
www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/28/trans-young-people-suicide-support-mental-health

If someone told me 5-10% of lead singers in sucessful rock bands died young, I would have observational evidence (backed up by actuarially produced car insurance premiums) that yes, being the singer in a band is not a healthy occupation. Statistically farming is also a high suicide risk occupation.

But despite the high profile of many TRAs I am not observing high premature mortality. Clinics like the Cavendish, who have access to a patient database, are not reporting it either.

I can believe that suicide rates will be higher amongst a transgender population. But like farming, some of the additional risk factors will be able to be unpicked. And that these probably wont include the ability to access womens toilets when gender neutral provision is available, or the mean things those evil posters on MN say. My person view is that the biggest risks to LM and AC are posed by the people around them who are exploiting them for their own purposes.

It's also important to distinguish between cause and effect and correlation.

You could look at the suicide rate of people with brown eyes, for example, and argue that they are more at risk of suicide than people with blue eyes. Or that people who are over 5'6" are more likely to commit suicide than people who are under this height.

The higher rates of suicidality (if they are higher) will be likely due to comorbid mental health conditions and social stress associated with positioning yourself in opposition to the majority of the communities around you.
