Newham Green Party leader storms out of council meeting

[WarriorN]

For being repeatedly misgendered.

However, listening to the recording, it's clear that the councillor tries very hard to get it right, but struggles with the ensuing grammatical errors it forces him to make.

Goodness that video - deep belly laugh from that 😂.

Indeed, as expressed in the "Pronouns are Rohypnol" essay: fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/

How can you misgender a person who identifies as non binary?

Surely the crime is gendering them?

😂

Alison, Alison, wait, it gets better:

'during LGBT History Month, too' 😂

Oh, the huthemity!

😂

Ah yes, indeed! 😀

Paul Clements:

"The misgendered councillor has now left the council meeting, upset at having been misgendered. And has just been misgendered again during an apology about being misgendered"

😂

Oh, bless them. Short comedic interludes in what otherwise might have been a dull meeting about local politics.

It's called the Stroop effect:

"the Stroop effect is the delay in reaction time between congruent and incongruent stimuli."

You've actually got it the wrong way round - it's easier to say the word that's printed than say the name of the colour of ink. Unless it's in a language you don't know, in which case the printed word is meaningless to you and you can easily just say the colour instead.

The Scottish Greens have it down to a fine art -

Inhuthemity, surely? 😁

I did reflect on her tenacity and resilience and extreme desire not to put anyone out.

Against the self centred demands of someone like this.

I’ve thought that about our parents generation. My In-laws being of the never complain, give back to local community and solider on variety. What happens when they’ve all gone?

And, oh yes, I used to think Jordan Peterson was dick’ish but now admire his prescience on the topic.

"The misgendered councillor has now left the council meeting, upset at having been misgendered. And has just been misgendered again during an apology about being misgendered"

Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

Well done, my description was pretty rubbish and like you say, got it arse about face.

I think our non binary trans woman correspondant calls this "existential violence", which I gather is the bad kind. The silencing disobedient women kind is fine

Just read this piece by glinner about yet more Green Party Women elections, I can't keep up! And every time I have to scrutinise the blurb and read between lines to find an actual sane woman to nominate along with some bloke called RON. Helpful mumsnetters gave pointers to how to vote and who to avoid and when to RON but that doesn't happen now.

So, sorry @WarriorN. I joined the GP last time we got excited on FWR about making a difference in the GP to do my bit, but I can't stand the insanity a moment longer. I surrender 🏳️‍

A small correction yetanother

You've actually got it the wrong way round - it's easier to say the word that's printed than say the name of the colour of ink. Unless it's in a language you don't know, or written by Judith Butler, in which case the printed word is meaningless to you and you can easily just say the colour instead.

Understandable @SerotinaPickeler, I hope you told them why.

These twats are going to sink the party though.

I'm sorry, I also left, back when they did a motion to support Drag Queen Story Hour. It was just too absurd, I did let them know when I left.

One of the candidates for the women’s role in London was Danny Keeling. He describes himself as “genderqueer” and doesn’t identify as either male or female…

So, did them get both roles?

Couldn't find the flounce but I thought it was very sad at the end to see the chairman castigating himself for his wrongspeak, vowing to educate himself and to do better.

Was like something out of Maoist China.
