Message for those in r/ UK who have followed the link here:

I have been effectively banned from the UK subreddit - a temporary ban for being attacked and for refuting false claims which were being made against me - this means I have no right to defend myself in that subreddit, which is intolerable, and effectively a permanent ban.

And since I am banned from defending myself in that subreddit, here is my response to a comment by sweetcrutons: Firstly, I am not a TERF - You obviously either don't know the meaning of TERF, or don't know my views, or both. Secondly, I never said that transgender women are not ''women'' - I said they are not female - thirdly, I never said that transgender men do not exist - they clearly do exist. If you would like to take issue with me over any of these corrections, or an apology would be nice, you can comment below.

Original post below, if anyone cares about how female people are being silenced in our country:

This situation has been building up for a long time - the roots of the problem go back decades - but recent events have led to a spectacular rift in the Labour Party, when any new official policy could not possibly satisfy both sides of the debate:

On one side of the debate are those who believe that the role of ''Women's Officer'' was created for a female to represent the interests of female people, and as such, it would be inappropriate to appoint a male to the role.

And on the other side of the debate are those who believe that the role should be open to anyone who self-identifies as a ''woman'' to represent all women including males who identify as women.

The final straw for many female Labour members was when a 19 year old male was appointed as a constituency Women's Officer, after he had helped to oust a 52 year old female from the role in another constituency, with accusations of ''transphobia''.

So there has been a push from both sides of the debate for the official policy to be made clear - and it has now been made clear that the Party policy is to support males in the roles which were created for women.

Female members are being vilified and having their membership suspended if they speak against the policy.
