Apparently, anyone who wishes to uphold the integrity of woman as a sex-based political class is a fundamentalist and purist. The idea that woman is categorised by her sex rather than ‘identity’ is the new extremist position to take. Women who advocate such an audacious…1.
stance have certainly felt the backlash to such a preposterous proposal and have been branded authoritarian, unpleasant and abusive. Nice deflection. And one that might work if we were truly few in number but the truth is many women and men hold this ‘extremist’ view. It is…2.
based on science after all. Our lived experiences are superfluous evidence to that fact. You could argue that the real purists are those who believe in ‘true trans’ - those whose subjective sense of self, as the opposite sex, is a genuine feeling that comes from the very…3.
You have sat and watched me suffer all this @ExpertWitness_ aka @DrHorsford for 8 fuckin solid years.
Was this #dogwalker a #whitewoman by any chance?
Because for the life of me, I do not get how all can ignore what happened to #myson #AmbroseGGBall in 8 solid years unless it was @MPSHaringey posting up all the wrong information, wrong days and dates,
the wrong locations, wrong description of clothing , the wrong Fox pub, all different times of the night, leaving out the vital information leading up to during and after my son went @missingpeople, did not response for 56 hours after all the calls myself and others had made over
WOW! I just had a Labour candidate and 2 campaigners knock the door. My daughter answered and told them I had covid, when she brought their leaflet in and I realised who had been at the door I rushed over and called them back (asking them to stay back as I was positive). /1
I was completely unprepared and I am not the best at explaining myself but I couldn't just let them walk off. I exained I was voting on a single issue and I wanted to ask something that no one seems able to answer... what is a woman? /2
They all immediately looked uncomfortable and laughed and the campainers tried to answer by using words like 'assigned' and 'gender'. One even told me I was a woman lol! Yes I know I am a women but please define woman lol /3
No @ClaudiaWebbe but #TonisArmy sees a very major problem with @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @jeremycorbyn and @HackneyAbbott who both seem to feel leaving a mother without any answers from when hear what the mother of murdered #AmbroseGGBall
had mad known approx 5 years ago.

It is very hard to believe that @UKLabour are committed to respectful debate when members sign pledges calling for women to be expelled for a belief that #sexmatters or call on MPs not to share platforms with experts like Pragna Patel womansplaceuk.org/2020/06/28/lab…
Or when @UKLabour MPs object to women taking part in public government consultations and misrepresent the concerns being raised - accusing women of ‘hysteria’… womansplaceuk.org/2020/06/16/dea…
Or when @UKLabour student groups attack respected activists and campaigners for attending public webinars or meetings on women’s rights and the Party does nothing… womansplaceuk.org/2020/10/26/edi…
@LRCinfo are "preparing the Labour movement for power". We hope they're not holding their breath. This attack on women defending our rights will drive women away from Labour. We call on them to step away from the slogans and talk to us. #LabourLosingWomen
"We don’t believe the oppression of women derives primarily from our biology". The people at @LRCinfo seem confused. The social and political factors they refer to are part of the history of the appropriation of women's reproductive labour - i.e. sex-based oppression. 
"Statistics and personal testimony make clear that trans people suffer appalling violence at home and on the streets and discrimination at work." We oppose violence and discrimination against trans people. Our declaration is about women's rights. labourwomensdeclaration.org.uk
@davecoviddave Way, way back in the early 1970s I was a young child and dimly aware there were elections where people had to choose between Tory and Labour (other parties were irrelevant where we lived). 1/12
@davecoviddave I gathered it had a lot to do with whether you thought people should largely be free to choose what to do with their own money or whether the govt should be able to take some in taxes to look after people who need a helping hand. 2/12
@davecoviddave No brainer, I thought, I'll vote Labour when the time comes. And I did. 1983, 1987, 1992, 1997 and all the council elections in between. Labour finally won the GE in '97 & I was elated, but then disillusioned as they stuck to the Tory policies I wanted to see the back of. 3/12

“The awards cut across every aspect of the operation of the school...advising teachers to “introduce yourself at the start of the year using your pronouns and encourage students to do the same.”

earlier this week Stonewall CEO @Nancy_M_K claimed: “one of the things that’s really important to say is that we don’t advocate for the removal of the single sex exemptions.” ‘

The treatment of Rosie Duffield MP is deplorable. We applaud her courage in speaking out. @UKLabour says it wants more light and less heat but its actions don’t support this claim. This is a thread of some of our attempts to get Labour to listen this year.
In February 2020, we published this post about the failure of @UKLabour to respond to our formal complaint about behaviour by Labour Party members at our unofficial fringe in Brighton. Six months later we have had no response

This is the letter one of our co-founders @ruthserwotka wrote to Lisa Nandy when she made false and damaging allegations about us on the Radio 4 Today programme. We have had no response.

I am incensed by your tweet about LGBT rights.
I'm not alone, thousands of women are absolutely sick of your refusal to listen to them.

We all support the right of trans people to live as they wish, without discrimination, fear or abuse.
But we do not believe that a man can become a woman. Transwomen are transwomen.

You have said you will change the Equality Act 2010 to make 'gender identity' a protected characteristic instead of 'gender reassignment'.
That means sex Self-ID. No questions asked...

Despite, or perhaps due to, the sexual bullying allegations against Labour's women's officer Lily Madigan at Goldsmiths University, they've defended Karen White - the rapist who said he was a woman so he could rape female prisoners - for the second time in a year
Amid allegations that Lily Madigan sexually harassed a girl at Goldsmiths and then bullied her out of Labour and nearly out of university, LM has changed their Twitter name and handle
Lily Madigan has been accused of committing 'frankly horrifying actions' including harassment and bullying within @UKLabour that have been overlooked by the party
Last night Rob Rinder made a programme about 2018 and concluded it was a good year for women. Was he living on Mars then? 2018 has seen a woman forced to refer to her male assailant as 'she' by a Judge #WarOnWomen #womenstandup
2018 has seen unprecedented numbers of women permanently banned from Twitter #MeghanMurphy despite tweets abusing women being routinely ignored #WarOnWomen #womenstandup
We've seen no drop in the number of murders of women by male partners and yet the Police think misogyny doesn't need to be a crime #WarOnWomen #womenstandup 8 murdered this Christmas
This thread is about the #SelfID debate and why #labourlosingwomen is going to be such a massive problem for #Corbyn and his ever increasingly lunatic supporters. We have three biological genders, male, female and hermaphrodite but the % of hermaphrodites is tiny. 1/11
Now Eddie Izzard is part of the NEC of #UKLabour this issue is going to re-ignite rather than disappear as he recounted in his memoir of how he deliberately broke the law getting changed in a female bathroom: 2/11

Thread on the absurdity of self-identification.

Well there is obviously Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who self-identifies as black. Are the @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum cool with ‘transrace’ and self-identification of race as well? 2/7 
How about Martine Big, who self-identifies as a black woman, and knows she is black as she ‘likes African food’ and has tanning injections? Is ‘transrace’ and self-identification of race OK with the @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum? 3/7
