Starmer: "trans-inclusive" conversion therapy ban, "modernise" the GRA, all hate crime to be aggravated offences as part of making every child "proud and confident"

[ResisterRex]

Exclusive in Diva, following a reception at a LGBT+ Labour event in Parliament on 29 Jan:

"“We’ll strengthen the law, so every category of hate crime is treated as an aggravated offence,” Starmer said. “We’ll cut NHS waiting lists for LGBT+ people waiting for urgent physical and mental health care. We’ll modernise the Gender Recognition Act. We’ll implement a full, trans-inclusive, ban on all forms of conversion therapy. We fully support the view that conversion therapy is psychologically damaging abuse.”

“We are committed to a decade of national renewal and will work with all the organisations in this room tonight so every child can feel proud and confident in who they are, to stand up for LGBT+ rights at home and abroad and to get Britain’s future back.”

The mention of children is unclear but must have a background to the full speech? LGBT Labour hasn't tweeted about it but others have. Rayner and Dodds also in attendance.

Yes not sure how anyone would miss this

Is that the best you can do, Adam?

Yes, whoever decided to make Anderson prominent needs their head examined. He's so hectoring and unattractive.

I wasn't clear in my post - i meant the government (Labour or Conservative or anything else) are not going to make changes just because TRAs are demanding it. Those days are over due to numerous nasty males amply demonstrating that women have reasonable concerns.

I was also responding to someone else

I don't even know who he is. For a minute I thought you were talking about Lee Anderson and was very confused 🙈
That video was very boring too

Be fair Arabella. Not sure you'd see Penfold at a BIG BUSINESS CONFERENCE <stares like absolute loon>

That's the special preserve of...sweaty men who get handed their arse about males in women's spaces and find their true home with Labour?

Ah, that was a glorious interview. 😊

.

<big beaming smile>

Keir Starmer is HOSTING the conference and I will be going with 600 other people!

I didn't. I'm not voting Labour. Haven't for years. I don't trust or respect them. But however inept and wrong-footed and bigoted they are, they are not totally heartless, self-serving shits and the current Tories are. I could never ever vote Tory unless they have a compassion U-turn.

What makes you think those days are over? I agree that there are many and egregious examples of multiple males showing exactly why women are concerned, but I can't see much cause to think Labour are paying any mind, at all. If this week is anything to go by, quite the reverse.

Brings back memories

Ha! That, exactly! 😄

How does that work then? It says "to or from" trans. Therapists and parents can equally be convicted for child says I'm trans, BANG they are transitioned

Could you give us an example of a British doctor, or therapist, who's been convicted for telling a child that they are trans, please.

Except that the Labour Party is packed to the rafters with TRAs...

I find him deeply creepy. 🙁

She's back in and pushing for a Labour win.

I'll put the kettle on.

That doesn't confirm that the Labour party have let her join. I remember that tweet in October, and at the time I was under the impression she still wasn't a member.

She writes about it here and is back in as I said above. Disappointing really but for her being on the Left and on the 'right side' seems to comes first.

Aha! Thank you.

Pothole you must report back from the BIG BUSINESS CONFERENCE. Perhaps in poetry form?

Whatever you do, don't go in a big 🦖 outfit. Or ask any awkward wimmin questions.

That would be awful.

Are they? Who would you say is a TRA? Maybe your definition of TRA is different to mine, I can't think of any MPs who are TRAs. The only Trans MP is Conservative.

Anyway, the Conservative party is "packed the rafters" with misogynistics and sex pests, yet people on here still think they are a good voting choice if you are a feminist.

A lot of words to confirm she's a socialist (and not a single issue one), and swipe at some women who are womaning in a right-wing way for the wrong reasons, and insist that some invisible people are working hard within Labour for the right reasons.

The invisible people are invisible to me, and their achievements are also invisible, so until I get some visibility so I can trust what I see, then insisting there is progress in the right direction is just shouting into the wind.

If KIS or others of these undercover Labour heroes could break ranks and speak some actual truth about their machinations and Labour's intentions that would be grand.

I'd like to vote Labour but I won't until someone properly explains - with definitions - their policy on GI/T+ in words that I actually understand and believe.

Labour MP Lloyd Russell moyles (rearrange into right order) Is a raging TRA and I'd bet the Labour party member who phoned me the other day to discuss who i would vote for and got all pissy and ended the call when I tried to talk about women is more TRA leaning than gender critical leaning.
