The Nottingham MP Nadia Whittome is aware of YMCA
On Thursday in Parliament there was a session entitled Topical Questions and a wide range of MPs contributed which included Nadia Whittome who is the Nottingham East representative. Her question began with the reference to A YMCA report and the response from the Government came from Lucy Frazer who is the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The item is available here and I have put…

TW// murder, transphobia, misgendering
so if you don't keep up with the news in Britain, I'll fill you in.
yesterday, Brianna Ghey was murdered in her hometown of Warrington. She was only 16. She was also trans, which considering what I'm going to discuss in this post, is relevant.
Tumblr media
However, not even a single day after her death, the GC ('gender critical' for those who aren't in the know) crowd have wasted no time in disrespecting her memory, by repeatedly misgendering her and deadnaming her.
Tumblr media
here are just a few examples from the comments of this post by Nadia Whittome MP (fair warning, these responses are pretty fucking vile to say the least):

This is what 'gender critical', or TERF, ideology inevitably leads to. Not only has a young trans person been murdered in cold blood, but hateful assholes like these lot are going out of their way to disrespect her, even in death.
and as one final insult to her memory, the british state do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to legally change their marker regarding gender on any official documents, so in addition to the disrespect on social media, the UK government is facilitating her being misgendered on official documents in death.
rest in peace, Brianna Ghey, you deserved so much better than this.

Keir Starmer surely cannot believe his luck. He has achieved a landslide victory by doing very little. He received fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn in 2019, and yet has ended up with a whopping 412 seats in parliament. The rise of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has split the right-wing vote and ushered the Conservatives along to their worst ever election result, plunging them to even greater depths than the disastrous election of 1906 under Arthur Balfour.
This was very much a Conservative loss rather than a Labour victory. There is no great enthusiasm for Starmer, and his majority is an indictment of the “First Past The Post” system which, as I have argued previously, should be abandoned in favour of Proportional Representation. It is unsurprising that upon his victory in Clacton-on-Sea, one of Farage’s first public statements has been a commitment to campaign for electoral reform. His party received over 4 million votes and has returned only 5 seats. So that’s 1% of the seats for 14% of the votes. Compare that with the Liberal Democrats, who have 11% of the seats for only 12% of the votes. Most of us will see that there is a problem here, irrespective of our political affiliations.
Worse still, Labour’s victory will empower the culture warriors, those identity-obsessed activists who have accrued so much power already in our major institutions. While the Tory party claimed to be fighting a “war on woke”, all the while enabling the ideology of Critical Social Justice to flourish, leading Labour politicians have cheered on the culture warriors while pretending that they were nothing more than a right-wing fantasy. We have seen some pushback over the past two years in regards to the worst excesses of this movement, but all of this may soon be undone. Now that the identitarians have their political wing in power, we should expect a few years of regression.
Take the example of Dr Hillary Cass, now deservedly elevated to the House of Lords, whose review into paediatric “gender medicine” has catalysed a sea-change in public perception. While many medical journals and institutions are so ideologically captured that they have continued to deny the significance of Cass’s findings - preferring instead to continue with discredited and evidence-free “gender-affirming care” - the Labour Party has pledged to implement her recommendations. Wes Streeting, the new Health Secretary and potential future leader of the Labour Party (who narrowly held on to his Ilford North seat last night by a little over 500 votes), has made clear that the Cass Review will guide Labour policy. Starmer, meanwhile, has turned a blind eye to the bullying of MP Rosie Duffield within his own party and has expressed very little understanding of the issues. He has come around to the view that 99.9% of women “don’t have a penis”, which is still approximately 33,500 female penises in the UK alone. This is our new Prime Minister.
And here is Nadia Whittome, who has just been returned in Nottingham East, claiming that Labour will push through gender self-identification with “no ifs, no buts” and “resist calls to exclude trans women from women’s spaces”.
Such a system would have seen double rapist Adam Graham – who identified as Isla Bryson once he had popped on a blonde wig and pink leggings – accommodated in a women’s prison. Whittome also calls for a “ban on conversion therapy” with “no exemptions”. Such a policy would likely criminalise those health professionals who follow the recommendations of the Cass Review and take a psychotherapeutic approach when it comes to confused and vulnerable children. You can read my piece on why a ban on trans conversion therapy is effectively a new form of gay conversion therapy here.
Anneliese Dodds, who won her seat in Oxford East last night, has continually shown that she has a meagre grasp on gender identity ideology and why it represents such a threat to the rights of women and gay people. She has stated that “Labour will ban conversion practices outright”, in spite of appeals from groups such as Sex Matters and LGB Alliance to rethink this position. It is as though she is determined not to read the Cass Review, which was unequivocal on this matter:
“The intent of psychological intervention is not to change the person’s perception of who they are but to work with them to explore their concerns and experiences and help alleviate their distress, regardless of whether they pursue a medical pathway or not. It is harmful to equate this approach to conversion therapy as it may prevent young people from getting the emotional support they deserve.”
And yet Labour politicians continue to push for a ban on “conversion therapy” which could put parents and doctors on the wrong side of the law simply for rejecting harmful “gender-affirming care”. One can only hope that leading figures in the new Labour government read over this policy response to its manifesto by the Gay Men’s Network and reflect on the issues.
Labour is also promising to implement its Race Equality Act, a regressive policy which will effectively prioritise equality of outcome over equality of opportunity (in other words, “equity” rather than equality). Labour wishes to ensure that those from ethnic minorities are entitled to “full right to equal pay”, somehow not realising that this has been enshrined in law since 1965. As Kemi Badenoch has pointed out, “Labour’s proposed new race law will set people against each other and see millions wasted on pointless red tape. It is obviously already illegal to pay someone less because of their race. The new law would be a bonanza for dodgy, activist lawyers.”
Labour is taking its lead from Critical Race Theory in assuming that all disparities in outcome are evidence of systemic racism. This faith-based position was challenged by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, which found that there is no evidence at all that the legal and educational systems of this country are rigged against minorities. Activists were so furious that the facts went against their precious narrative that the commission’s chairman, Tony Sewell, was compared to Joseph Goebbels and the Ku Klux Klan. These privileged and predominately white “woke” activists simply cannot tolerate black people who don’t know their place.
And so under Labour we are likely to see these racially divisive ideas implemented under the guise of “anti-racism”. In its manifesto, Labour also pledged to “reverse the Conservatives’ decision to downgrade the monitoring of antisemitic and Islamophobic hate”. This looks very much like an insinuation that the party will reinstate police recording of “non-crime hate incidents”, a clear affront to freedom of expression. It is a staple of “woke” activism that censorship is necessary to ensure social justice. Given Labour’s ideological steer, it is likely that under its watch free speech will erode even further.
I very much hope to be proven wrong in all of this, and that Labour will learn to reject the regressive and divisive influence of intersectional identity politics. The Tories were bad enough, with their restrictions on peaceful protest and their attacks on free speech via the Online Safety Bill. But now we have a government whose authoritarian instincts are even more pronounced. Progress is often an inchmeal affair, and sometimes we have to suffer the occasional retrograde lapses along the way. So we would be wise to brace ourselves for the next few years. For now at least, the culture warriors have the upper hand.

I’d really like to emphasise to anyone who is less familiar with the situation here that Labour is also a long way from supporting trans people.

EP82 - Nadia Whittome MP talked to us about the Labour Party
On this episode: - Nicola Sturgeon is out, but who could replace her and what does that mean for Scottish gender recognition?
- Kemi Badenoch (boo-hiss) is grilled by MPs and gives updates on the government's worrying plans for gender recognition and the mythical conversion practices ban. - We tell the strange story of a trans woman being (allegedly...we don't like getting sued) lied about in the Daily Mail - We talk to Labour MP Nadia Whittome about allyship, whether trans people can trust Keir Starmer and what she believes her party should be doing for trans liberation.

abstaining members include:
diane abbott
dr allin-khan
dawn butler
marsha de cordova
kim johnson
ian lavery
clive lewis
cat smith
nadia whittome
and many others
not including ministers who’re away on business
the Winter Fuel rebellion has taken place in the form of a mass abstention rather than no-votes, meaning it is assumed that there will not be a mass purge from the parliamentary labour party. it is assumed: there may, of course, still be consequences nonetheless
however, John Trickett voted no, and he will therefore inevitably become the eighth suspended labour member
