Advice about voting for an MP

[ExpatSchmexpat]

I saw today that Brits abroad will be able to vote in UK elections again. Yaayy.

I have a question though. I was relieved to see that "my" MP (we get to vote in the last place we were registered) is GC. But she's a Tory and frankly, the only thing she ever says that i agree with is on the subject of human sex categories (2, immutable)

It puts me on the horns of a dilemma. So i thought I'd ask here and see if anyone else has come to a conclusion how to handle the election.

Do i vote for the sitting Tory MP, with whom i agree on nothing but that one, hugely important to me thing. Or do i vote for the candidate most likely to be able to take her majority, knowing that while i agree with them on several other big points, the one huge thing that has been in my life since i was old enough to realise sexism/misogyny/patriarchy while i was fairly young, is something that i profoundly disagree with all other candidates on.

What would you think the lesser of the 2 evils is: voting against my better interests on schools, the economy, the NHS and possibly the environment - or voting against the very fundamental thing about me: my femaleness?

Or should i look at her record in the actual constituency and see if the MP is any good, or if the potential new ones would be better? Should i vote tactically in the knowledge that any government that gets in from now on is "captured" and is going to continue the TWAW (if because it's not a priority, or if they really believe that is a bit of a moot point)

Or do i spoil my newly won ballot? Anyone else having similar worries? (whether in or outside the UK)

Speak for yourself on what is a day to day concern. While I agree with you that the economy is important, and it’s possible we would agree on economic justice issues, what is causing a split in my family is the failure of trans ideologues to consider that anyone else may have valid concerns, or that transgender ideology may be harmful to some trans people and to others in society, particularly women. It’s still #nodebate on the trans ally side, and I’m a bigot until I capitulate to their coercive and authoritarian worldview. A government which encourages that is really dangerous; see where the SNP/Green coalition in Scotland has taken the law, and where it has tried to take it.

Funny that hobby of yours of hanging out here then. If you're at all serious- off you go to actually debate economic policy, rather than wasting your time promoting men's rights.

Oh wait..

As a female, I want good schools, good economy good NHS and environment.
My "femaleness" doesn't hinge on so called GC concerns.
In fact I see some GC concerns as being in direct conflict to women's rights - taking away rights from trans /lesbian' women opens the door to non trans women's rights being hindered too.
We're all connected.
So for want of a better expression why shit on each other?;
LGBT and women's rights are all intertwined.
