I don't know, TT. And I am not in the UK (NZ). But my feeling is that the few concessions Starmer has made publicly since Blair gave him permission to, suggests he and Labour, not unlike the US Dems, are pandering to the Alphabet Army only for as long as it takes to get elected. The US Dems are also going HARD on demonising the Right for their anti-abortion stance, and making themselves out to be all about protecting the rights of women and girls. They know they have badly betrayed them on the trans issue, but again, it seems to me they are beholden to the serious money and electoral support of the trans lobby to keep Trump out. I predict post election both the US left and UK left, if victorious, will come out in defence of women's rights against trans activists, sports cheats, men in women's prisons, etc.
I hope you’re right but I don’t trust them and the opposite could be true- that they’ll go full on gender after the election… it’s all there in the manifesto but in woolly terms so as to bamboozle people.
Yeah. I think maybe I was being too optimistic. I have just read Joan Smith (@polblonde)'s X post on confronting Starmer last night and writing to him about his record on women's rights and being ignored by him. Our Labour party (under Jacinda Ardern) was totally sold on this rubbish too and I couldn't vote for them at our last election, having been an active campaigner for them for decades. But I'm still hoping that Rosie and JK and all the other brilliant UK Terfs might make the difference for you. We're all in some serious shit if not.
Yes, the global Terven sisterhood is RISING, to be sure. It's the silver lining in all of this sick shit. I've lost a daughter to the cult, if only as a hardcore ally. I think I would literally (and I mean that) lose my mind if she 'transed' herself medically. Being in her 20s, she sure doesn't need my permission to destroy her body. :(

Hi TV, yes she’s been trying to get Labour to see sense for years and has been treated badly, like Rosie Duffield.
I think there’s signs that people in NZ are waking up too, you’ve got some amazing women there. What a time we’re living through! Totally insane.

One of my daughters too, although I think she’s wavering a bit now🤞I hope yours comes through it to see sense. Best wishes x
Thanks, TT. Sisterly support helps, ay? xx
