What happened when I went to meet my local MP Angela Rayner?

  • Why does she think transwomen are female?
  • Why did she dismiss concerns about sexual assaults in "gender neutral toilets?"
-What happened when she was confronted by AGP twitter content?

Also discussed a certain doctor and a Twitter doxxing.

Halfway through and infuriated at the responses you got!

Gone2far · 02/07/2019 12:03

Interesting. But as I have 0% respect for her, unsurprising. But good to hear my opinion confirmed

newdocket · 02/07/2019 12:05

She is just awful.

DJLippy · 02/07/2019 12:19

Never meet your heroes...

Can someone please summarise? (In work and can't click link!)

DJLippy · 02/07/2019 17:22

In summary Angela said.

-Transwomen are female

  • A woman is anyone "who identifies as such."
  • No concerns with Adrian Harrop's behavior (i.e. doxxing fellow healthcare professionals)
  • The only thing worse than sexist content on Twitter is women who tweet about it
  • The rates of sexual assaults in mixed sex spaces like changing rooms is just Tory press scare mongering.

I've not been able to click the link either, but this isn't a daft politician who doesn't understand the context of this and the impact on women's rights.

It's so much worse when nonsense comes from one who should know better.

And as this board regularly demonstrates, it really isn't aTories in tin hats conspiracy. Hmm

Floisme · 02/07/2019 18:24

This is the shadow minister for Education, right?

tobee · 02/07/2019 19:49

It's embarrassing, isn't it Floisme?

TheClitterati · 02/07/2019 19:51

No wonder Labour are completely unelectable.

HermioneWeasley · 02/07/2019 19:54

She’s so ridiculous and a total sell out. I despise women like her - so steeped in privilege she can’t summon any compassion for women in refuges, prisons, hospitals, Muslim and Jewish women who won’t be able to go the toilet, sexual violence survivors who won’t be able to go swimming etc etc.

I actually hate her

DJLippy · 02/07/2019 19:55

If you are on stitcher, spotify, iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts search "Suffragette city radio" and we should turn up.

We're in the ridiculous situation where if we vote in a GE based on this issue, to protect women's rights, we cannot vote Labour or Lib Dem. My MP is Angela Eagle who is lesbian, but I think she would give similar answers so I wouldn't bother asking her.

This. Loathsome craven fool.

Going by her twitter feed you might have had more luck if you'd communicated through emojis. Thick as mince.

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/07/2019 20:13

Angela has come incredibly far for someone with very little in the way of brain cells.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 02/07/2019 20:29

Thanks for the summary DJLippy.

My god, she's such an idiot.

I don't like to say that about women, but this one really is.

Or maybe she's actually clever enough to know that she's not bright enough to get anywhere unless she panders to men.

hipsterfun · 02/07/2019 22:34

Why is Labour trying so hard to turn me into a Tory? Hmm

ZebrasAreBras · 02/07/2019 23:02

- The rates of sexual assaults in mixed sex spaces like changing rooms is just Tory press scare mongering.

Oh my god. Bollocks is it!

It was based on an FOI request - home office statistics. Nearly 90% reported assaults are in mixed sex - ie gender neutral - spaces. Angela Raynor has majorly let women down.

I will never forget the women who were complicit in this.

KatnissEverbeen · 03/07/2019 00:22

Angela is awful, the worst of the worst. She hasn't just abandoned women but wants to torture us so the men like her.

Nappyvalley15 · 03/07/2019 06:31

I can't say she disappoints me as I never had a high opinion of AR in the first place. Listening to this infuriated me. She really is like a cult member.

She simply isn't bright enough to hold onto any nuance and pick up on the dangers of self I'd.

MenuPlant · 03/07/2019 08:37

Not just women, but female?

Wow.

newdocket · 03/07/2019 09:58

This. She - along with many of her chums on the Labour front bench - is really not up to the job. Have to turn her off when she comes on the radio as she just repeat slogans and can't seem to critically engage. It is a truly parlous state of affairs.

hipsterfun · 03/07/2019 23:45

Is it time for that Mel Phillips/Dawn Butler ‘mindful’ video again?

Dexra · 04/07/2019 10:10

This. She's just dim, isn't she? It's stranger when people who actually seem intelligent don't understand it.
