Yvette Cooper: Labour wants Cass recommendations adopted, BUT...

[Abeona]

Yvette Cooper admits that children and young people have been badly let down:

Apparently the reason why the Labour party ignored all the evidence submitted by GC people to MPs, enquiries and consultations is because it was part of a culture war. We seem to be to blame: all of us who submitted evidence of scientific studies that gender medicine was harmful, who offered evidence of how it was affecting our lives, who stood up and shouted when it would have been easier to stay silent — we'd just allowed ourselves to be drawn into a culture war and could therefore be ignored.

Labour needs to stop this line of defence. I'm glad they plan to accept all the findings of the Cass report and will support the government to implement change, but if they continue to identify all those of us who saw clearly what was happening as tools of a culture war they won't get my vote. If anyone from Labour HQ is reading this, you have absolutely no idea what thousands of us, mainly women, have been through in order to get us here, today. We've been insulted and abused, threatened with loss of career, bullied by friends and colleagues. We need to be acknowledged and not positioned as part of the problem. We weren't the problem, we were the main force behind the solution.

I haven't read it but if she hasn't managed to link it to Palestine, global warming, #blm and something, something, Donald Trump, I am going to feel that she's really let me down.

Nadia isn't the brightest. The line from the Labour leadership clearly is that now everyone has to pretend that they were concerned about the harm being done to children all along, and ignore all the evidence to the contrary. How very inconvenient of Nadia to remind people that Labour MPs are among the most deranged lunatics supporting gender ideology.

Ahh so they would have listened sooner if we'd not said anything?

Seems to sums up their thinking these days.

Exactly!

Great article in the Telegraph pointing out everything's that been said on here about Cooper's inbuilt bias against the truth:

Lets give Yvette the benefit of the doubt and accept it was a war between Self Identity Warriors and Evidence Based Medicine Advocates

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

The numpties who only knew their one true self, didn't and don't understand the principles of evidence based medicine.

And until they start to make an effort to understand why women have been saying what they have they will continue to lose.

"Culture war" is, as I understand it, something that crossed the pond and describes a situation where there are two major groups in society that are diametrically opposed and, instead of regarding each other as essentially well-meaning people with a different view but as malevolent. It's Manichean and requires two sides.

People like Cooper would have you believe that there is only one antagonist in the UK.

The culture was has always been about Reason and Evidence versus Ideological Beliefs that have little basis in reality or how the real world works.

Yvette is just finding out she's not on the side she thought she was...

Thank you @MrsOvertonsWindow that Telegraph article neatly skewers Yvette Cooper's arse talking.

Here an archive link that'll take you past the paywall

There a link at the bottom of that to a similar piece on Wes Streeting 😠 😡

I know, I know golden bridges an all but...I just need a moment.

They have deeper voices. Easier on the ears.
Ours are so high pitched it's akin to a dog whistle so they can't possibly hear our words. Allegedly.

I just had a flashback to Another Place, were we were all told off precisely for being "right for the wrong reasons"

It absolutely was a considered and deliberate tactic. It was in the Dentons doc.

They recognised the role mothers "feminists" played in bringing about the downfall of P I E.
