Lib Dem candidate "women only" event

[vivariumvivariumsvivaria]

Woman (the female sort) standing for election at Holyrood with the Lib Dems. Running a "woman only" event to try and encourage more women (unspecified which type) into politics.

Is there any point in asking the question - "will you have achieved your aim if the women you get into politics are male?"

Here's her blurb:
“For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect, but to be elected.” Michelle Obama
Two years ago I joined the Lib Dems and now I’m campaigning to be elected to Holyrood in 2021. Too many women have told me that they wouldn’t know how to run for office if they wanted to. Plenty more have told me they want to see me in Holyrood, but they don’t know how to help me get there.
I want to do things differently. I’ve pulled back the curtain and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole...the way that we elect our politicians is not the way that we should be electing our politicians. I’m going to change that, but only with your help. Come along to my event - the first of its kind - and help me to change politics.
I want to come at this election as a voter, a mother of a young lad, a daughter of a disabled dad, a carer, a business owner. But mostly I want to change the chat.
Up for it? I am.

Why not ask, you'll know more from the answer, facial expression, general reaction.

I'm struggling to be engaged with politics but if I come across any politicians/candidates I'll be asking if they think TWAW. I made the mistake of making an assumption of someone's position on this, based on what I know about them. (Jess Philips).

Yes, please ask them.

Ask, yes. Report back! Good luck!

This is Emma Walker isn't it? She's a campaigner for self ID, a signatory of a letter calling for 'transphobia' to be rooted out of journalism, has called for more trans subjects to be taught in schools, has complained on Twitter to companies for not having trans friendly gender options on their products and her pinned tweet is about trans rights.

She very, very much thinks TWAW

Disappointing, but not surprising

Is she saying, in her pinned tweet, that her son is a girl because he likes pink? And if so, isn't she misgendering him?

WTF is a "trans subject", Jade?

Yes, it's Emma Walker. She's quite sensible to chat to, didn't realise that she was as far down the silly hole as that.

Surely after Jo Swinson's drubbing they'll consider the party line? Or, you know, the growing concerns amongst medics? Or, you know, the women with votes available, like me?

Or not.
