Labour has become embroiled in a fresh row over trans rights after activists put forward a biological man to be the women's officer for an LGBT+ group.
Given enough time, factions in left wing parties always end up fighting like rats in a sack!
The Trans Rights Alliance, a newly formed organisation seeking to change Labour's approach to gender issues, has put forward a number of candidates for election on July 19. One of them includes Steph Richards - a transgender woman in possession of a gender recognition certificate - who is standing for women's officer.
However, a gender critical group within the party, Labour LGB, said the move breaks party rules by 'putting a man forward to be a women's officer'.
Not just any man desperate to encroach on female spaces, but one with form in this regard:
However, Ms Richards has pushed back at claims she does not have a right to stand for the position.
Why can’t the press leave off with this now-towing to these lunatic’s demands? It’s ‘he’!
She told Labour List: 'I am legally female, other than in regards to the Equality Act and the Equality Act does not apply to the position within LGBT+ Labour so I am thoroughly within my legal right and my moral right to be able to stand.'The irony of a Labour politician claiming a moral right to do anything isn’t lost on us….
Ms Richards has previously claimed trans people can change their biological sex 'a little bit' and boasted about running a 'safe space' where men could dress up as women in secret, including as 'schoolgirls'.
Because it’s a fetish!
Last year, she faced fierce criticism after being appointed chief executive of Hampshire-based charity, Endometriosis South Coast, in a move women's rights campaigners branded 'worrying and insulting'.
And everyone else branded utterly nonsensical! But still the male encroachment rumbles on and on…
