No room in our party
Via Louise Moody on Twitter: a woman writes to the Liberal Democrats:
I am gender critical – that means that whilst I believe transgender people should not face and discrimination or abuse for their transgender status, I do not believe people can change biological sex.
The reply is not very inclooosiv.
By the sound
sof your email it appears that your values are not aligned with ours so we are probably not the righttheparty for you.
That’s not telling her she can’t join, which parties probably can’t do at the membership level, but it sure as hell is giving her reason not to. “If you don’t believe that people can change their biological sex your values are not aligned with ours” – so they’re the monster raving loony party now? A view on a material question of fact=non-alignment with all liberal democratic values?
People have lost their damn minds.
The reply may as well have been ‘we value trans women over women’.
Holms, I think they essentially did say that.
We need a third party bad. One that thinks that neither restricting reproductive autonomy, nor mindlessly confabulating feelings with rights, is the biggest existential threat to the human race.
