Conservaties for Women at Tory Conference - Keeping children safe at school:

[fromorbit]

Conservatives for Women actually have a stand at the conference and had an official event with Miriam Cates MP and others this afternoon:

Watch on You Tube here:
Keeping children safe at school: protecting children from online harms and harmful ideologies

Cates talks about legislative change to reform Equality Act but indicates there is not enough Tory MPs were on board to get it done.

Very concerning. Anyone with a Tory MP should be sharpening their pencils.

My guess is that Tory MPs reflect the general population in the proportion who know what a women is, and those who have swallowed gender ideology. However I suspect that many of the male MPs don't see it as an important issue. (Again perhaps in line with the general population.)

This is a rare issue where Tory policies are clearly more attractive to the electorate than those of Labour or the LibDems. It ought to be worth writing, perhaps congratulating your MP on Rishi's previous clear statements, explaining why both a decent schools policy and changes to the Equalities Act need to happen and suggesting (many ways of doing this without promising anything) that Tory action might influence your vote. An awful lot of Tories are worried about losing their seats.

And well done CfW for getting a stand at the conference. I wonder if Labour or the LibDems will finally allow the same?

Godsake. What will it take?

Finally the tories have noticed the statistical nonsense that's been happening on their watch with once respected institutions like the ONS, the NHS, Athena Swan all sounding like fucking idiots as they try to measure gender woowoo beliefs rather than sex:

@MrsOvertonsWindow great news, very heartening to read that.

The next stage of fightback will take more people fighting back inside our political parties Tories, Labour, SNP, Greens. Cates herself said she needs more support from the grassroots. Till we have gender realists in political power everywhere we are vulnerable.

Note in recent weeks Sunak has abandoned or altered a whole bunch of targets and initiatives from the Tory party. This may be bad or good that is a separate question. What is noticeable to me though in many of these cases he is putting political capital and effort into this change of mind.

It was in March 22 when Sunak finally came out and said biology is real. He could have been doing something for years and to reinforce that knowledge inside government, in many cases it would have minimal cost or would save money. He and many other Tories are doing the bare minimum or worse not acting at all or even promoting genderism, not just in national but local government.

The UK has a lot of cars. 77% of households have one. If the Tories are now the party of drivers [contestable but there we go], it is a political statement in trying to get votes.

100% of British people have a biological body. The country is way more united of sex and gender issues than we are over climate change. It is insane that the Tories are more SCARED of genderism than they are in having arguments over the environment, crime or immigration. Yes it is uncomfortable for them they are the party that put rapists into women's jails, but rather than pretending they didn't fail they should admit they screwed up and do something.

If the Tories can't stop gender nonsense then expecting them to achieve anything else good or bad is open to question.
