party mcpartyface would at least have captured the level of farce the party has been

lol, even under the UK's terrible libel laws this would not count as defamation.

but, if you don't want people to point out you do apologia for groups that cover up rape accusations, just don't do apologia for groups that cover up rape accusations

to the surprise of basically noone, the whole conference has been a shitshow of incompetence.

i'd be surprised if yorp was still active by the next GE
November 30, 2025 at 5:56 PM
cool, do that then instead of trying to debate with trans people about why we are wrong to read the obvious into the exact same warning signs we have seen time and time again from a political party.

this is why disney made their version of robin hood
November 30, 2025 at 5:20 PM
how magnanimous of you to be able to put aside all the warning signs trans people are seeing and give them the benefit of the doubt... must be so nice to look upon this academically with no skin in the game
November 30, 2025 at 5:15 PM
oh yes, how silly of me to forget my place as a trans person. we should just be happy with the barest scraps while the people who matter debate over whether we count as real people...
November 30, 2025 at 5:14 PM
the fact that the transphobic elements are leaving, not being removed, says something. that is a very important distinction to make. they were more than happy to appoint a transphobic landlord as the nominating officer. pretending that doesn't say something about the party fundamentally is absurd
November 30, 2025 at 4:45 PM
still think party mcpartyface should have been on the ballot as the only option that could truly capture what a farce the entire endeavour has been
November 30, 2025 at 4:35 PM
this is dishonest floe, the party has already welcomed members who are openly transphobic, and the conference chair admonished a speaker for bringing that up. the party founders explicitly decided not to include trans rights as a founding principle, leaving it to be voted on at conference
November 30, 2025 at 4:32 PM
if they wanted to do that, they could have made it a core founding principle instead of leaving it for a conference vote, that they didn't even feel was important enough to table and was left to a member to bring forward
November 30, 2025 at 4:29 PM
i mean, for one, this is a problem that could have been heavily ameliorated by the party founders staking out an established position on transphobia.

for another, the chair of this conference admonished a speaker for calling a transphobe a transphobe
November 30, 2025 at 4:24 PM
i'm sorry, did you just say the your party conference chair mocked someone for taking too long to get to the stage?
November 30, 2025 at 4:21 PM
failing to gain the resources doesn't mean that wasn't the goal
November 30, 2025 at 3:17 PM
we oppose violence against women, except against that sort of woman, oh and the women must conform to my limited view of what women are, otherwise they are fair game for violence because it is to protect them
November 30, 2025 at 1:39 PM
lol, love how we were all told that the reason yorp couldn't have a position on trans rights because it would be voted on in the conference, which bad enough in itself. but now, it wasn't even on the agenda because of the party itself.

this thing is such a shit show beyond what even i was expecting
November 30, 2025 at 12:58 PM
Nah, i am a brit, even given the context she is talking about yorp, i still cannot see what she was vague posting about if not that marginalised people should just accept having our rights dropped by political parties.
November 30, 2025 at 12:36 PM
I mean, the way they set this party up, establishing no real founding principles and explicitly leaving decisions on what they stand for down to membership voge at conference, they seem to have intentionally designed themselves for it.
November 30, 2025 at 12:20 PM
The party where everything is made up and the votes don't matter
November 30, 2025 at 12:02 PM
Sometimes there are only two busses, and they both head deeper into tve desert.
November 30, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Like, i am a brit, the original vague post could easily be about why it is okay to drop trans rights. The context that she was subtweeting yorp still doesn't rule that out given what hapoened at their conference.

She is entirely complaining about her inability to communicate here.

To the person who replied to this and then immediately blocked me... learn how blocking works on bluesky.
