Don't know if this is news, but I'm debating whether it's safe to vote labour next time so was slightly cheered to hear Yvette Cooper on R4 make it very plain that to her at least sex and gender were separate things and scarlet blake is rightly going to a male prison & hopefully the crime will be recorded as a male's crime.

Are we safe to vote labour? 🤔🤔🤔 rushi is equally clear but also likes to pull our pants down financially far too much imo

Yes to the "look, sex and gender are different and we've been very clear on that, and the need to protect women's safe [sic] spaces" which then suddenly descends in to stuttering and stammering incoherence as soon as they are asked to take that principle one tiny step further and explain their position.

It's frankly not good enough for front-bench Labour shadow MPs to still, STILL!, not have as good a grasp on this issue as 5,000 random women on TERF-Island twitter.

This is your god damn job, get your shit together Yvette. You're 7 years behind.

Every word of that. On that salary they should bloody well do better than this.

Is that true? I can't find any reference to it. I can see they are a trans rights activist but that's not the same thing. And something sits wrong with me about bringing people's children into a debate

We need to know how bias is affecting judgment.

I'm afraid at this point, anything they 'say' is worthless. I won't have the faintest trust until there's actions demonstrating and acting on those beliefs, protecting women, children, LGB people, equality for all instead of one having primacy over eight other protected characteristics, and women's equality of access to facilities with excitingly identitied men.

Actions. Not words.

There was a saying a friend used to have : 'they can make their mouths say anything'.

All YC ( and the rest of them) needs to do is to use the correct pronouns for male people and female people. It really isn’t hard to do, she has probably been doing it all her life apart from the last couple of years.

"we've been very clear on that"
One giant bingo card, with that written at the top, and hundreds of little boxes below to check off every time a politician says that... make that thousands of little boxes...🙄

One tick each time they say it, and a second tick if they actually have been.

You won't need boxes large enough for 2 ticks.
