Official Conservative LGBT group attacking women again

The Conservative party are just as much in thrall to their LGBT+ groups as all the other parties. Here is a member of an official affiliated group attacking women who do not believe in their ideology. Use of hate speech and even an insinuation that Liz Truss is behind the website. Good grief. There have been a number of complaints about this group yet nothing sticks. Teflon indeed.
So marginalised, so oppressed.....

OhHolyJesus LGBT Conservatives are an official affiliated group in the Conservative party. There is no official LGB group.

Their official Twitter account also all but called David TC Davies MP a c*nt a couple of years ago.

They claimed calling an mp a transphobic cunt was 'inadvertently offensive'?

🤣

@OhHolyJesus

Oh KB was there Sunset? It was meant to be a cross-party event but the LDs weren't represented. Was Labour? Probably. I can't remember, it was only memorable for me by its low attendance. I thought R Hunt would have drawn the crowds.

Yep. Full thread by the brilliant Sarah Stuart here:

Ha haKI see Kathryn Bristow was in that, and seemed to be burbling nonsense, just for a change.

I haven't a Twitter account. Never have had one.
I'm blocked from reading any of the Tweets.

Is this Conservative Party policy?

They've locked their account by the looks of it. Because of "bullying"/"dogpiling" no doubt.

But it's ok for her to draw people's attention to something in a website that she doesn't oike, of course.

So what's the DL on this mimmy person? I gather she used to work with Mermaids and was involved in a court case against Miranda Yardley?

[quote persistentwoman]On the assumption that a lot of them in the photo are members, most of them appear to be blokes. So are we surprised at seeing this level of misogyny and silencing of women? Of course not. It's their standard operating procedure and identical to the behaviour of Lib Dems, Labour, the Greens etc - all using LGBT twitter accounts to express their hatred of women. Of course, they'll come whining wanting our votes at some stage Hmm

Thanks OP, I'm amazed there has been any repercussions from them calling a serving MP a C-word. Surely this brings the party into disrepute as they are an affiliated group.

You would never get away with that in the Greens. Well maybe you would if it was a man calling a woman that.

mimmymum must be on permanent MN monitoring duty.

Certainly very quick off the mark since only the op had posted.

Maybe it is more about what Mimmymum would like to happen, or the old narcissistic mirror thing.

We're there, it's right out in plain sight now.

Women having rights is disgusting.

Good luck getting that message over to an electorate. Best of bloody British.

Not always - some of her time is used taking transwomen to court in cases that later get thrown out. Causing much distress to the transwoman in the meantime.
"Be kind", eh?

I was going to email my Tory MP about the sexual exploitation bill anyway, I will ask about this. I imagine they are an unofficial group, they just appear to be speaking for all LGB Tories. There's no shortage of unofficial groups in all political parties I imagine, there are a few in the Greens. It also depends on how official groups have to be structured with elections etc or sanctioned within the party's own structure IYSWIM.

I remember Elena organising a webinar with Ruth Hunt that I think 5 people attended and one of them was her friend, at least two others were women who wanted to see what was said.

Let's just say it wasn't roaring success. They may be loud but I'm not sure they are that powerful, though I'm sure Crispin Blunt would like to think they are.

Worth keeping an eye on as much as they are keeping an eye on us.

The image didn't post. Here's the 'disgusting' text:

Women & girls have sex-based rights. Wishing to take advantage of those rights and to have them enforced via clear guidance ... is not 'unkind'. In order to do that we must speak in unambiguous language and be able to discuss policies which affect us free of abuse, harassment or intimidation. To discuss those policies, we must exercise the right to use the language which specifically refers to the anatomy of our biological sex. Men who 'identify' as women are not a category of women, they are a category of men.
Allowing men and boys to take advantage of the rights of women and girls is not kind to women and girls.
