“From the offset, Ms Townsend asserted that we would not change her mind and she fully believed that "male
bodied people" are not women and that the use of women's refuges should be for people who were born women.
Ms Townsend went on to assert that she "believes in sex, not gender". “

We are with you Lisa- don’t be bullied!

What a disgusting situation, trying to have an elected person removed for having totally reasonable views. How far down the rabbit hole of madness have we gone?

I've wondered what there is about Pride organisations that tend in this direction.

While they have obviously always been about activism in a certain sense, I've never see that they have real standing, or capacity, to be making or promoting policy direction. Many Pride groups are mainly there to run a festival.

But there seem to be Pride groups all over that see themselves as properly stepping into politics, or trying to enforce censorship, always on behalf of the LGBT+ community. .

I've never see that they have real standing, or capacity, to be making or promoting policy direction.

I tend to agree. The direct quote on this article doesn't really say anything other than 'we need pride'. The comments are interesting too.

What a reply!

“I assume the council has decided that getting woke cookies, is more important that taking the needs of disabled people into consideration? Would anyone on the council like to explain to my autistic child why it doesn’t matter that she will refuse to cross it, as it’s ‘the wrong colour’ or she finds it overwhelming, as the colours are too busy? Would you like to explain to blind people that the fact that it confuses some of the dogs, thus putting them at risk of injury or worse, is really way down your list of priorities. The needs of the disabled in your community, trampled over by the wants of others.”

Really pleased at Pride in Surrey taking this stance. It's giving an opportunity for ordinary constituents to air their views that biological reality exists and vocally support their elected official in doing what they elected her to do - serving the whole community, not just a tiny minority of gobshites. Sunlight, sunlight.
