UK: Feminist kicked out of Labour Christmas party because her views on transgender rights 'made guests feel unsafe'

"Someone over there disagrees with me, I feel unsafe!"

These people are ridiculous and should not be taken seriously. It is an embarrassment to civilisation that they are.

Frickin TERFs. I have nothing to say to people like this, but find it hilarious that mainstream Feminists will refuse to acknowledge that these types of people are a part of their movement.

So, about MRAs only being for straight men...

If you're posting this out of a belief that it is somehow hypocritical, it's really not. She'd have been booted for racism or homophobia too - that sort of thing is generally not seen as okay in left-wing spaces. Feminism is important, but it isn't the only cause that is, and she'd been quite aggressive in attacking those other causes in the past.

I implied that some people might be actual racists on /r/uncensorednews instead of people who just disagree with neo-liberal ideas and got banned, so I might actually know how she feels.

The final stage of revolution is auto-cannibalism.

She has espoused anti-transgender views in the past, including posting a Facebook photo of a T-shirt with the slogan: 'Trans rights erase women's rights.'

Hmm... so, she didn't just advocate for a specific policy that would be harmful to trans people, she publicly endorsed the idea that trans people should not have rights.

Yeah, screw that. It's not at the level of inciting violence (which would be legally actionable), but it's comparable to, say, wearing a "Black Lives don't Matter" shirt and then playing the victim when black people are uncomfortable having your racist ass at a Christmas party. The event's organizers are well within their rights to boot her out for being a massive asshole.

She later wrote on Twitter: 'I wasn't disruptive or rude as many witnesses can confirm. I am waiting for an explanation and apology from Labour Women's Network.'

Okay, there's a possibility that she wasn't rude or disruptive, but quite frankly she has no credibility whatsoever.

Aside from that, the hypocrisy of a TERF of all people complaining about "identity politics" is hilarious. If she had her way, Lily Madigan would probably be banned from that same party for the crime of being born with a male body.

Story outline:

Barrow-pushing TERF attends Crimble Party for Women; annoys people; gets shown the door.

Whinges on tw@tter under hashtag 'IdentityPolitics'.

Irony lies in the gutter, bleeding profusely.
