If the Lib Dems get any influence at all in the next Parliament, any, bang go women’s sex based rights and spaces. No women’s changing rooms, public toilets, refuges, hostels, sports or prisons. In with self Id and gender ideology in schools, in with men in changing rooms with teenage girls, out with women’s privacy and dignity and safety.
And in with the silencing of anyone who disagees.
It is important to realise that if the Lib Dems are in a position - because of parliamentary influence - to make demands, this is very likely to be at the top of the list. It is a very woke agenda, so easy brownie points from their supporters, and from the point of view of other political parties it’s a cheap and easy concession. So yes, any influence, and this is coming.
It’s your choice. Of course it is. But you shouldn’t deceive yourself - the cost of revoking Articke 50 without a second referendum is women’s rights: privacy, dignity and safety. And medication of children whose bodies don’t conform.
Do you think we’d ever get our rights back again? I really don’t. Unpicking self id, once legislated for, will be virtually impossible, because it would involve changing legal status that has already been granted to individuals. The legal problems in doing so would be insurmountable.
For women, this election is vitally important, because of Jo Swinson’s willingness - eagerness- to remove our rights. It’s a shame this choice has been posed, but we have to be realistic - it has.
I feel really frightened about the prospect of her having any influence on legislation and Government policy. I don’t think she is safe for women.
