Norwich City Council votes TWAW

[Sazzasez]

On 29th September, Norwich City Council passed a motion that “trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary people are non-binary”.

Proposed by Green Councillor Alex Catt, voted unanimously by Labour and Green Councillors, though a clause that would give transgender people priority in housing was defeated by Labour votes.

Alex Catt announced the vote in a tweet ending with the words “transphobic extremists [sic] are not welcome in Norwich”.

Norwich Women’s Rights Group on Twitter posted queries: how will it affect women-only swimming sessions at the council sports centres, especially for minority women; what about hostels for homeless women; will disabled women be able to specify intimate care by female carers, and so on.

A freedom of information request has already been submitted to find out what Equality Impact Assessment has been done.

Surprisingly, the Norwich Evening News, which has previously repeated unchallenged everything Cllr Catt tells them, actually reported that there have been some queries.

Yes, Councillor Catt has form: grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/norwich-confidential

BBC Look East reported earlier that they have a £60 million gap in their budget planning.

Obviously confirming that TW are real women is the priority though.

@RoyalCorgi Your comment about the world being flat made me think of the book by Simon Edge The End of the World is Flat smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B098KS95KX/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_RJ6MKS7HF08P10KGWMQB

For those who haven't read it, it sums up all this BS quite nicely. He is a great chap.

(I wasn't bothered about me being identified by my last comment so a tad confused as to why MN deleted it)

'Transphobic extremists aren't welcome in Norwich!'

Oh, OK. I'll stop paying my Council Tax to you then. And you can find someone else to teach your fucking feral offspring.

Thanks for the Get-Out-of-Inbred-Jail Card!

He does.

Interesting article: Catt claims the stickers have razor blades behind them, but his own photos show they don’t.

He also encourages readers to break the law on fly posting by putting up stickers that he approves of.

Gosh, I hope the next step is Norwich council supplied free sanitary items for transwomen , free condoms for transmen and erm, ( thinks quickly) , free unicorn wings for non binary peeps.

An excellent book!
