For clarity, in saying @Womans_Place_UK had "genuinely-held concerns" I did not intend to convey that I agreed with those concerns or that they were justified - I have yet to form an opinion. I was trying to say that @Womans_Place_UK have concerns that they believe to be genuine.

Suggest you make up your mind very soon - Womans_Place_UK have "genuinely-held concerns" that reflect the views of many women who do not want to see their hard-earned rights eroded.

I will make up my mind when I believe I have all the facts necessary to make that decision and not before.

So sorry you are being put under this pressure Brian. This row is about the conflation of sex and gender. It seems painfully obvious that in a democracy, women - the oppressed 50% - should be allowed to express their concerns about this. Who is pushing for your resignation?

Im so sorry Brian. It is a pity. We need politicians who stand up against accepted orthodoxies and listen to the voices which are silenced, and marginalised. It is hard, and lonely, but what else are you in politics for?

I try, I really, really try! I’ve always tried to accept people as a product of their life experiences & to try to understand them from that perspective. However, I will not tolerate people misinterpreting what I say for their own political ends.

But perhaps you should name these 'people' are who are misinterpreting what you say? My only concern on this issue is for it to be decided after honest and open debate. At present this is not happening. You have the influence to bring about a fair outcome.

They’re the ones I’ve blocked. Less than five I think. It’s pretty obvious from the thread who they are.
