[RedToothBrush]

Heads up if you haven't seen it:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_live_events/3614469-Webchat-with-Ed-Davey-Lib-Dem-leadership-candidate-on-Tuesday-18-June-at-1-30pm?pg=1

He has started a thread on twitter about it.

It interesting to see the priority of those posting and who is saying what.

Good spot.

The webchat is imminent (1pm today). Get your questions in!

After reading that I just wonder why the fuck he's coming on here

I'm furious with the culture of the LDs. It's not just trans.

There's been lots of attention about the toxicity of Labour and the Cons but it's as bad in the LDs.

I hope he feels that rage.

I've just read your excellent question on the other thread Red. I see that they have now put a halt on any more self Id questions

The culture is one that covers up domestic violence if they think the perpetrator has a future in the party. And then when Layla Moran was exposed she was praised to high heaven for being so brave! To me this is not acceptable, and I wonder how much other domestic violence they've covered up.

Webchat has started.

Well there we go

I do find the different arguments and evidence that trans women are somehow a danger to other women totally unconvincing. Like all bad arguments, they take one or two rare incidents, and try to hang a full-blown thesis on them

That's us told.

Just. Does. Not. Get. It.

Well that's a pile of shit

Oh my goodness. No nuance, nothing. I am actually quite shocked.

I’m one of many who came to LD after Labour but they’ve lost my vote now after this. I’m in ED constituency and have corresponded with him over this and he seemed open to discussion. Clearly he’s been fed the kool-aid when he quotes false stats

Colours nailed firmly to the misogynist mast there.

Yeah. He doesn’t see no problem

He’s a guy.

He’s fine. Women who cares

Gotta to get his wokie points and women are at bottom of the heap for the wokies

Gotta think of his twitter feed.

-libdems-

I didn't have hopes for him...

high hopes

Well, at least that's clear. LibDems will have a leader who believes that people can change sex and/or that someone's gender essence is more important than safeguarding and women's right to organise separately from men.

We'll keep on taking Ed (and his chums) to task. And not vote for the libdems while they trash women.

Not going well for Ed.

Even the answer to the Stella Creasy maternity question is what about the menz.

I had a post deleted for clarifying that the questions had been about women’s rights, rather than trans rights. How is this breaking the rules?

I saw that. I have no idea?

Doobi I think you missed the memo
Women stay in your box
What a fucking waste of time.

Well it’s official: the Lib Dem’s really don’t give a shit about women’s rights. Good to get that cleared up
