The leadership candidates are about to speak at this event. Just watched the deputies and they all said the same thing from the same script.

Pink news are streaming and currently there's me and 56 others watching live online!

unwatchable for me I'm afraid, I tried. Sad

EverardDigby · 20/02/2020 20:09

RLB wanging on about educating membersHmm

TinselAngel · 20/02/2020 20:09

I lasted about 30 seconds of Keir Starmer saying the GRA needed to be reformed and how everything's gone all Section 28, then I had to turn it off.

EverardDigby · 20/02/2020 20:12

Lisa Nandy now going on about being kind. Some protests from women in the audience, which have been silenced by the chair. Lots of applause for her.

GeordieTerf · 20/02/2020 20:12

Dull dull dull

"Trans women have hard lives.", "theres no conflict between trans rights and women's rights." "We are the party that supports trans people"

I lasted five minutes.

Not going to be able to stomach this. Labour have completely lost the plot.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/02/2020 20:16

Listen to this brilliant interview with Lucy Masoud, formerly FBU rep, and a hapless woke bloke, about Labour's shortcomings instead. It will make you feel much better.

Ooh some noisy women's voices raising the issue of transing children and similarities to conversion therapy.
Nandy or RLB (not sure which one) muttered under their breath, debate always being shut down.

pombear · 20/02/2020 20:28

I honestly don't understand how these leadership candidates cannot understand that the term 'conversion therapy' means totally different things, when it's linked to the catch-all of the category of LGB and T - and the other letters.

The first group is about sexual orientation, the second is about a whole host of things - body dysphoria, gender stereotypes, and AGP, amongst a whole of other stuff shoved into the 'T'. They are not the same thing.

Who are their advisors? Are these potential leaders not listening to anyone else?

EverardDigby · 20/02/2020 20:30

Yes that comment about shutting down debate was unbelieveable! It's really winding me up, but I'm hoping for more protest so I can't quite drag myself away.

Concerned about the issue of conversation therapy, and talking about getting on with the GRA consultation - why are they assuming that responses to the GRA consultation have supported amendment?

Labour is lost.

EverardDigby · 20/02/2020 20:36

Some women shouting from the audience about defining the word woman and that women's voices are being shut down. No one at the front seems to care. They're now talking about favourite memory from Pride FFS.

Thingybob · 20/02/2020 20:41

Uncomfortable viewing.

Is that JL in the audience?

Whoever it is they are very brave

moofolk · 20/02/2020 20:45

Is the stream still on? I've been kicked out

moofolk · 20/02/2020 20:46

Lots of shouting from the audience against the women speaking up. One man left with me in solidarity.

NYnachos · 20/02/2020 20:48

You did great @moofolk

Thingybob · 20/02/2020 20:49

Yes it is for me. Just wrapping up now with individual summing ups now from the leadership candidates

moofolk · 20/02/2020 20:49

Thank you! Still shaking. What a bunch of absolute clueless parrots.

Thingybob · 20/02/2020 20:50

Were you thrown out or left of your own accord Moofolk?

EverardDigby · 20/02/2020 20:51

They've all just given their speeches. Moofolk well done - honestly what has this come to when lesbians are no longer welcome to raise their issues in "L"GBT spaces, it's absolutely appalling. I noticed when they were asked about their gay friends they talked about men, not women.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/02/2020 20:52

Well done Moo ThanksWine

It sounds fucking awful.

wellbehavedwomen · 20/02/2020 20:53

Thank you, @moofolk. Thank you for standing for women. Flowers

moofolk · 20/02/2020 20:54

I could have resisted more, they took my bag but I was sooo angry. I walked but shouting.

Staff and security.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/02/2020 20:55

Is there a Women's Husting? Not that it would be about women, of course.

moofolk · 20/02/2020 20:55

Thank you. I'm sure other people in there were angry with us not just at us. ✊
