Welcomes Nadia Whittome, Kim Leadbetter, and Kevin McKenna. This is very, very bad news for women. [[https://x.com/CommonsWEC/status/1983110894835130644 https://x.com/CommonsWEC/status/1983110894835130644]]

They should just be honest and call it the Stonewall Committee. That's what it's been for years. Other equality issues rarely even get a look in.

But two of those elected are women (of which one is a lesbian, and one bisexual). Why wouldn't they be pro women and pro lesbian?

Oh, EDI hires then, that always works so well.

As it is a Committee Is there any point in writing to The Speaker?

you could ask them why their definition of women includes Men with lady feelings and their definition of lesbian includes men with lady feelings who want to fuck women

then it will be clear

Personally I think, and have done for a while that they are going to try to change the Equality Act so the Supreme Court Ruling is irrelevant. I think we are entering into extremely vulnerable territory.

Then they will be handing the next election to Reform on a plate as Farage strategically weaponises this issue just as Trump and the Republicans did in the US. The whole TWAW and medically/surgically damaging young people does not go down well with the electorate at large. Throw in immigration and it’s a slam dunk for reform god help us. I didn’t vote Labour but am so so disappointed by their inanity and poor policy decisions. Budget will be grim.

Labour has always been misogynist. This proves they are lying in their teeth about equality and implementing the SC judgement, not to mention having a proper enquiry into grooming gangs.

Why do you assume women, even lesbian women, being appointed are EDI hires? Seems a bit prejudiced

Show quote history

The prejudice being pointed out is yours - your assumption that someone with particular background would have particular views, and would hence be a good or bad hire. You're the one viewing them as EDI hires.

Unlike you, we're assuming nothing based on them being women or lesbian - we know who they are and what their views actually are. We and they have been around this a long time.

Thanks Labour. You just have a load more votes to Reform.

Slow hand clap.

Labour are heading the same way as the Democrats. And we all know what happened there.

Yeah, I know! One other Tory on the committee, Rebecca Paul. I don't know if there are any sane ones amongst the Labour MPs, and the LibDem woman is awful.

the LibDem woman is awful.

Has Alex Brewer shared her view on whether TWAW?

You may be correct. I 'know' - via an online forum - rather a lot of Lab activists. They are, without exception, opposed to women's sex-based rights. One, who didn't get involved in the arguments over the SC judgment, recently announced that he 'like most Labour members' opposed the SC ruling, but (as a believer in democracy and the rule of law,v unlike...) would seek to change the EA.

My heart sank just a bit further, as I had hoped Lab might slowly return to sanity (LDs or GINOs are a lost cause for the foreseeable).

Yes. I think the biggest fight is coming down the tracks towards us.

It is going to be doing what the Darlington Nurses and the women from the grooming inquiry have done: forcing the plain issue into public sight and out of all the pretty PR wrappings that cover it up.

Labour believe that the legal rights of 50% of the population and of homosexual people should be removed, to enable men with varying desires including sexual fetish to access non consenting women as they undress/have medical care/are strip searched. They believe that men should have rights to use women in law. They wish to change the law to enforce this. It's plain despite all the lies.

The media won't help. It's going to be finding ways around them to slam the information front and centre in front of the public.

And yes, God help us all, Reform are pretty much a given at the moment since no other party has the faintest bloody ethic or clue between them, and Reform will be no friend to women either.

I agree, although I would add that they also believe they're right and they're not going to let anyone prove their wrong, because where would that leave them then.

It's ironic that Whittome et al fundamentally align with Dominic Saab's comment that “From the cradle to the grave, men are getting a raw deal. Feminists are now amongst the most obnoxious bigots.”
