3/2/2021 I will not vote for Labour, the Greens or the SNP again unless they start listening to womenRead Now I have always been on the left, which by my birth country's standards (France) is more to the left than in any English speaking countries. I was always a gay rights supporter. I have known transsexuals since I was 8 years old. Never had an issue with LGBT advocacy.
I knew that there was misogyny on the left, but the worst misogyny was always coming from the right, as far as I could see. That was until I became aware of transactivism and how the entire left supported it. The #metoo movement had only happened for a year or so when suddenly women were told to stop talking about male violence or male sexual behaviour ... because it was transphobic to recognise sex and the predatory behaviour of males. And the people shutting women down were left wing. I was a left wing SNP (Scottish national party) supporter after being labour for many years. But the way labour, the greens and the SNP are prioritising the rights of males to have full access to women over the rights of women to our own category, spaces and advocacy has lead me to leave the SNP. I will not vote for Labour, the Greens or the SNP again unless they start listening to women. 2/26/2021 Identity politics has come from the left but am I insane to think it’s been orchestrated from the right?Read Now I now have to distance myself from parties and organisations that I previously respected e.g. Green Party, Labour, SNP, Amnesty. I am watching ‘the left’ hand critical thinking over to the right and my heart is breaking. Identity politics has come from the left but am I insane to think it’s been orchestrated from the right? People who should be fighting for important issues are being dragged into these ridiculous arguments. I have lost hope. We’re all fucked.
