Le donne trans non potranno partecipare ai principali eventi della Conferenza delle donne laburiste

I fail to see the need for a women’s conference in the first place to be honest. It is politics. It affects everyone anyway. Just like I would not see a reason to host a men’s conference.
Sure there are topics that affect one gender more than the other so I get why they would want female speakers , but they should at least allow everyone to hear all talks, whether or not they are male or female.

I’m bleakly impressed that the UK managed to draft the Equality Act 2010 and Gender Recognition Act 2004 so badly. Regardless of how anyone feels about trans inclusion now, I think the current situation is very obviously the opposite to the one intended by Parliament, Ministers, and drafters at the time.

To my reading, a lot of the drafting materials (e.g
Discrimination Law Review) from the time make it very obvious that the intention was to allow inclusion of trans people in their lived sex (as had been happening for decades) and domestically implement EU anti-discrimination directives in a way that was consistent with CJEU case law on gender reassignment. Lady Hale identified that “a trans person is to be regarded as having the sexual identity of the gender to which he or she has been reassigned” for the purposes of anti-discrimination directives as early as 2004 in *A v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police*.

When it comes to trans people that have gone through a formal gender recognition process, I feel it’s even more obvious that Parliament didn’t intend the GRA 2004 to lead to this. Hansard records and drafting materials show very clearly that Parliament intended to change the sex of trans people in law for the purposes of sex discrimination, equal pay, etc. It aimed to avoid trans people existing in the unacceptable intermediary zone identified by the ECtHR in *Goodwin/I v UK*. The idea that they’d silently reverse that a few years later while claiming to do the opposite seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Somehow, the UK managed to draft the two Acts so strangely that it’s led to the Supreme Court applying their arcane, overly textual version of statutory interpretation in a way that flips things on their head. I don’t think Brexit helped because, to my mind, the UK tended to rely on purposive interpretation of EU law and CJEU referrals to get around self-made messes like this.

I will stand and fall with those abused. Partially because it seems that transgendered people are being singled out because they are not many enough to defend themselves from organized ostracizing.

Labour is in the wrong here, they are being unkind and not respecting the point that it does no damage to let people attend or the point that living as a woman may need political representation. The discrimination serves no purpose. It does nobody any good. It is cruelty and it turns its back on people who are in dire need of solidarity.

So trans men welcome then? How’s this supposed to work??? what a bunch of twats.

Wtf is UKs problem with trans people??

With all my due respect, I wish either Greens or even ~~Corbynite~~ (nevermind that one i didn’t know theit scandals) some other party to replace Labour as the main left British party. I am sick of parties calling themselves left going socially conservative like that

Fuck you, Joanne.

I won’t shed a single tear for these corrupt bastards when Reform wins…

Labour had such a free fucking goal after being given power for free after *decades* of Tories being incompetent idiots and they take that chance and go ”bet” as they follow them on the path of idiocy.

Is the event exclusively for women? If so, that eliminates men.

Is there a Men’s Labor Conference, it’s like the 3rd world in the UK.

When did Trans people become such a threat to society that they’ve been so relentlessly ganged up on??

Wild how fascist the supposedly left wing party in Britain has become.

we need all trans men to go there!!!! pls we as the trans community need it.
