Omg I did it, I talked to a canvasser

[mamas12]

The first canvasser in my area I asked her a few questions re her party etc and took a deep breathe and asked her what her stance was on women’s sex based rights
She was ok
She said it could be a contentious and emotional issue and she didn’t want to put trans people down she supports trans people but by protesting against the Womens Place event was not on
She also said the gra wasn’t going to go through now and if the torys get through in Westminster then it won’t change for another four years so there’s time to try and get a proper dialogue going
So there we are I felt reading between the lines she was supportive of women’s sex based rights so I’m going to vote for her

@Gwenhwyfar yes that is how I feel too re voting right wing or spoiling, but I just don't know what to do. I don't want to vote ignoring this issue (in which case it would be green at the moment) as it is so important.

I'm in Yorkshire and the options are: Lab, Con, Green, Lib Dems, Yorkshire party. None of them appeal to me!

@mamas12

Yes I suppose as a local election it is different but I did feel quite proud I said something every little bit helps

Well done OP.

@persistentwoman

Well done OP for speaking out. We need the canvassers to go back to HQ telling them that women are refusing to vote for parties removing women's rights and child safeguarding. Things will only change when women won't vote for those parties nurturing misogyny / misogynists.

This!
