Labour party plan to ensure women's posts are for women only.

[ArabellaScott]

And activists are not happy.

'The proposals to restrict trans members’ engagement in internal democratic procedures - including by blocking trans women from standing in All Women’s Shortlists, excluding them from National Women’s Conferences, and preventing them standing as Women’s Officers'

They just look ridiculous. I expect the other parties are pissing themselves.

If anyone fancies getting cross at the Guardian this morning do read this all about how sad trans people are.

What a novel angle that’s never been covered before.

Surely we can sue the Labour party now for discrimination against women as they've cancelled the event?

I think that might be possible for women members.

I wish I could leave the Labour Party all over again.

They are repeatng the exact same mistakes as before......hoping it will all go away, and being held to ransom by their backbenchers.

Some Labour MPs just don’t seem to have even a basic grasp of the issues, preferring instead to parrot well-worn lines about protecting the trans community. Of course trans people should be protected, but by retreating to this mantra without understanding that this can’t – indeed now must – not be done at the expense of the rights of women seems to be beyond their intellectual powers. Either that or they are pretending not to understand.

To govern is to choose. Treating women like collateral damage is unlikely to be forgotten.

I might join just to leave.
