Telegraph today:

”The first ever Mumsnet “manifesto” is urging the next government to define what a woman isin the Equality Act.
The popular online forum released a 25-page document on Friday which it said represented the chief concerns expressed by its nine million users over the past four-and-a-half years.
It has 12 asks of the incoming administration after July 4, including to “guarantee access to single-sex spaces” for women by reforming the 2010 Equality Act.”

Know what you mean.

I live in N Ireland so there are no Labour candidates here and the Conservatives don’t run candidates in every constituency, instead we have local parties who are mostly all genderwoo supporters. I’m havering between holding my nose to vote and spoiling my ballot.

Yes I agree. And the "assisted dying" point is worrying. Like transing minors and self-ID, one need only look at Canada to see how that turns out.

True. I used to be in favour of people having choice over assisted dying, but reading stuff on Twitter about how it's gone in Canada has put me right off.

Any party that has to define what a woman is, by definition, is too thick for office.
If an individual politician does not know, it needs highlighting so people can cast votes with someone who isn't pig shit thick.
