Labour is not supporting Rosie Duffield, Labour is instead doing what the trans “activists” and “allies” ordered them to do, and “investigating” her.
LGBT+ Labour said its demand “comes after a pattern of LGBT-phobic behaviour culminating in the endorsement of tweet from a person arrested on terrorism charges which accuses members of the LGBT+ community of being ‘cosplayers’”.
And? Is LGBT+ Labour seriously pretending zero such “members of the community” are cosplayers? Many such members go on at great length about their cosplaying.
Never mind that, heads they win tails we lose.
Update, 6.50pm: A Labour spokesperson said: “The Labour Party takes all complaints of homophobia or transphobia extremely seriously. This complaint will be fully investigated in line with our rules and procedures.” It is understood that the party is looking into the matter.
I wonder if the Labour Party takes all complaints of misogyny extremely seriously.
Kidding; I don’t really wonder; of course they don’t.
“LGBT-phobic”? Even if we grant the claim of transphobia, where is the ‘pattern of LGB-phobic’ behaviour? I’d hope they have evidence for such a charge, but we already know the accusation alone is sufficient for that crowd.
This is why the obligatory lumping of all the initials together has become such a liability.
All Starmer has done so far is to disagree with everything Johnson says we should do while saying we should do it anyway. It would be nice if he could just once shout “EVERYONE STOP BEING SO FUCKING STUPID”, put on his hat and leave for the day.
