50:50 Parliament Campaign to Encourage Women in Politics now have TWO Transwomen on the Panel

[gardenbird48]

I saw 50:50 women tweet to Sue Pascoe Chair of the Conservative Women’s Organisation some time ago on their #askhertostand, but then I couldn’t find the tweet and thought maybe they’d realised their mistake (can you guess?) and deleted it.

However, how wrong I was! There are now two people that have extremely limited ‘lived experience’ as a female (Sue was a married father and successful businessman and Master to Foxhounds until a few years ago). The other person has said hi on here recently.

I don’t mean to be rude but surely the whole point of encouraging women to stand for Parliament is to help overcome the barriers women face in entering politics. Any barriers that trans people face are rather different. It is also interesting that on a panel of three for their ‘Encouraging LGBT+ Women to Stand’ campaign, there us only one person with actual lived experience of being a woman (I am hoping that Mandu Reid of the WEP was born female at least...??)

Woke up this morning and was a woman

Fuck. You are doing well. When I wake up I am barely even human.

Lads, we don't need high priestesses here. The gobbiness is all our own doing.

Yes. The TRAs have utterly failed to understand how pissed off we women are about all the daily misogynistic bullshit we have to wade through just to get from one end of the day to the other. If they don’t like the heat, they should get out of the kitchen now while we’re still being polite in asserting our boundaries and rights. We won’t let this drop, because we can all see from (recent) history how badly it plays out for women if we do.

Apple falls on head

Reality is a bitch.

I think it would be highly unusual for MNHQ to delete someone's account and yet leave up their posts, no?

I love the fact that millions of women, many who don’t read feminist texts, all women from very varied backgrounds, education, cultures, can all come to the same conclusions. We can all articulate them from these perspectives and they do sound so similar. My god. How do we do this.... there must be some thing happening. They have a leader! Yes, that must be it. Obvs.

Just like the C18 locker aliens.

To understand the reality would be to undermine the careful constructed version.

It all comes down to the use of the term that was bandied about. ‘Same’.

The word that seemed to be redefined on the say so of a group of people who need it to mean the opposite to what it actually means. Like other words they try to redefine.

Is Barracker our Queen now? Oh dear Datun, you've been deposed!

do you believe this?

Either way it suggests Jaz is not planning on coming back to argue Jaz's corner.

Probs a PBP.

Barracker’s our leader? I thought we were all sock puppets of the far right?

I don't think Jaz did anything bannable.

I think going onto twitter to report their actions might be a reason to ban when they target posters on here.

I could be wrong.

🤡 👠 🦦

Can this ^ be our Barracker Bat 🦇 signal pleeeeese ?!?!

Asking for a friend 😇

Is Barracker our Queen now? Oh dear Datun, you've been deposed!

No it’s ok. Barracker is Queen, Datun is Pope. All good.

I need new glasses, those otters look like turds to me.

As you were.

Oh, and should have said

NO, NO and thrice NO.

Maybe MNHQ could clarify whether Jaz has indeed been banned so that we know we can't expect any replies to posts made to Jaz. I've seen this done before.

Garden Thanks for the info on the GMC. Yet another reason why I resent having to pay them several hundred pounds a year just to go to work.

You’re welcome. Did you check the GRA evidence responses - I’ve got a feeling the GMC responded (presumably on behalf of their members - did they consult you?) in support of self id.

It seems that quite a few unions (NMC, GMB etc) responded in support of self id but may not have asked their members how they felt.

That seems to be an odd thing for a union to do - I ding know how these things are supposed to work normally)

Here’s the link to the evidence submitted anyone wants to check what their union has said on their behalf.

No it’s ok. Barracker is Queen, Datun is Pope. All good.

Barracker gets to be regal, but I have to be holy?

Fuck

@Datun

No it’s ok. Barracker is Queen, Datun is Pope. All good.

Barracker gets to be regal, but I have to be holy?

Fuck

I thought you lived your whole life as an example of dignified restraint and moderation?
