Looking for some guidance on whom to vote for?
Green Party, Labour and Lib Dems are a no due to trans ideology issues.
Any suggestions on best feminist choice?
Thanks!

Try this thread. It's the ongoing discussion.

At this point, Labour, Greens, Lib-Dems and the candidate for the Rejoin party are out.

Various candidates are potentially in, but it's a question of which other policy are you willing to compromise on. No single candidate ticks all the boxes for anyone.

Here are their views on the importance of safeguarding, single-sex provision in schools, and the RSE curriculum in relation to gender identity.

It might help although I suspect there will have to be a lot of nose-holding on voting day.

These are great pointers. I couldn't find the threads because I was using the wrong search terms. Will definitely be checking out the Twitter thread. Yes, I suspect my nose too shall be pegged 😂
Much appreciated!

Ooh, I was hoping Farah London would be good on this. Looks like she is.

At the moment I’m still Count Binface.

How glorious would it be if the Mayor of London was Count Binface.

But does the Mayor of London actually have the power to reinstate Ceefax?

I honestly don't know. Won't vote for anyone who is pro-brexit (I know it has happened now, but I still profoundly disagree) so that rules out Conservative, Heritage Party, SDP, Lawrence Fox etc. If I'm voting on local issues (as it is a local election) then I really need to vote for someone who is opposed to the Silvertown Tunnel. I live 50 yards away from the A2 and this will make a massive difference to my quality of life and it's something that is wholly within the Mayor's authority...... but that leaves me with the Lib Democrats and the Greens, neither of whom know what a women is! I actually was a lib Democrats member until about 6 months ago. I was profoundly embarrassed when watching the HoL MOMA bill debates to see the lib Democrats lords arguing against the use of Mother/Woman in the Bill and swore that they wouldn't be getting my vote any time soon..... but I don't know now.......

Perhaps the SDP as they oppose self-ID.
