I cautiously dipped my toe in the water and enquired about joining our local Labour Women's Forum. I've been a Labour member for a little while now and thought I ought to get more involved.
I had the following contradictory response back.
Now wondering if I should bother. How are we supposed to freely discuss matters relating to women's biology and lived experience with a male bodied person present? What if I slip up and correctly sex (sorry, 'misgender') this person by mistake?
Why the hell can't women of the adult human female variety actually have anything of our own?
Would you go along, or not bother?
