Although I wish the article had remembered women with some flavour of trans-identity can still attend.

The lads have been given a good long heads-up. They've got plenty of time to piss in bottles and order the crickets.

I thought this had already happened and the reason the conference was cancelled this year was so that TRAs didn't kick off and get violent, as is their wont?

Good.

'On Friday, a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting agreed on a plan to allow the conference to go ahead while also complying with equality law.
The party said that the main session of the conference will be restricted to biological women.
It means trans women – biological men who identify as female – will not be able to see keynote speeches, take part in policy debates or vote on motions and elections for the national women’s committee.
Outside the main hall there will be fringe events, which will be open to all attendees regardless of their biological sex.
Trans women will also be able to attend exhibition spaces and an evening reception.'

Let's see if the men can contain themselves and refrain from protests involving moobs or bodily fluids.

Good. So women actually get to have something of their own. Gorblimey. <waits for the fringe event to take over the main conference>

Thank you for the link, very good article and great news.

'The Labour for Trans Rights group urged the NEC to reverse the decision, which it called “terrible”.
“Trans members are being cut out of the democratic processes of the Labour Party when many have given years of service, knocking doors and standing as candidates,” a spokesman said.'

More dramatic nonsense, of course they aren't. They have absolute the same access to all the mixed sex processes and events as all other men, plus the LGBT events and processes. I'm sure if it doesn't yet exist and they wanted something trans specific the Labour Party would be highly supportive. They just are being required to allow a space for biological women to have something of their own, which they need.

Very glad to see the LWC standing up and holding to women's legal rights. They are badly needed.

To be honest, a demonstration of bad behaviour and invasion will be a large message to the general public and to all political parties. It pretty much proves (again) why women need their legal rights against ill treatment and men trying to dominate and take everything from them. It would almost certainly mean that in future the entire conference will have to be man-free in all parts.

So if the NEC of the Labour Party explicitly follows the law regarding the SCJ, what the fuck is stopping Bridget Philipson from laying the EHRC guidance in front of Parliament?

The headline should use males and not tw

Trans women will not be allowed to attend main Labour Women's Conference events - BBC News

'Trans women will also be able to attend exhibition spaces and an evening reception.'

Is this because the exhibition spaces and the evening reception are mixed sex anyway?

Otherwise, the LP are discriminating against non-trans men, aren't they? They have to let all men attend if they let trans-IDing men attend.

Put another way - If they put one man to the moon, they have to put them all there - it's the law, EA2010😁

Breaks out the popcorn.
This is going to be a good one :)
They will tear each other apart. Labour deserves this for cultivating it all in the first place. It's going to be the Your Party conference all over again but at bigger scale.
Even Labour now recognises Project Let Them Speak as a liability.

Yes, it should. The BBC is still a long way from where it should be.

Who d'you think will have the first performative boycott? Organisation, probably one of the unions. Person, some backbencher I've never heard of.

Nadia Whittome won’t be happy. Having said that, it’s over 9 months away. Things shift over time so it’ll be interesting to see how much protest there actually is and how much people really take notice of it.

Nadia Whittome won’t be happy

That's generally a good sign.

The Labour Party, led by a lawyer, respecting a court judgment, and finding a way to do so that seems sensible to me.

Of course, if the Tories had clarified the law when in government, and done so many years ago, think how much less pain would have been caused both to women and to those born male who consider their identity to be female.

A few more signs of the LP respecting court judgments, and actioning them appropriately, would be welcome.

Why can biological men attend Labour's Women's Conference for any events? Have men always been able to attend Labour's Women's networking events and exhibitions? Or are we celebrating a loss here?

I feel similar to this. I'm so angry with Bridget Phillipson for dragging her heels with the EHRC Guidance (and the Gender Questioning Children/s Guidance). Plus she said not so long ago that TW could use women's toilets. Admittedly before the SC ruling, but still.

So bring it on. Let's see the males reveal themselves now that they've been told no.

@Leafstamp
How do you think Labour will react when the TRAs treat them just like they treat the gender criticals?
There's going to be a lot of dazed and shellshocked Labour people wandering around trying to figure out what's going on, and where all the piss is coming from. "Is there something wrong with the toilets? Why can't they fix it?"
I wonder if the police will be just as absolutely fukking useless as they usually are, or if some magic unknown influence will suddenly spur them into action?

Maybe we'll get to call Lammy a dinosaur hoarding rights like eggs :)

Ambition, I suppose.

That or cowardice.

Why not both?

I think that it is both and it demonstrates a lack of leadership capacity. Leaders lead. They have goals and the vision and purpose to define a path to those goals. They then take their team with them through a combination of personal certainty, empathy and bloody determination. What Bridget is demonstrating is managerial followship. She has no personal political goals and is waiting for the people who she wants to lead to tell her where to lead them. So different to the current PM /s

It’s going to be very interesting seeing it unfold that’s for sure.

I hope the agenda of the main event won't get derailed. Will every other speech start with a genuflection to "our excluded trans sisters"?

Trans ideology truly is the cuckoo that takes over whichever nest it occupies.
