Tories at war .. again over Transgender bathrooms
One of the Vice Chairs of the Conservative Party has mocked gender-neutral bathrooms and safe-spaces at a Labour event.
Ben Bradley is the Member of Parliament for Mansfield and Conservative Party’s Vice Chair for Youth.
Tory voters calling for the beheading of gays
The politician stoked a backlash online after making light of a message from the organiser of a London Young Labour meeting.
The message said: “Good morning! Coming to London Young Labour AGM?
“The safe space room is in the Staff and Research Students common room through the double doors on your way in. The main caucus room is next to it in the Nyholm Room. There are gender neutral toilets by the lecture theatre.”
Mr Bradley had responded: “I really really wish this was a parody… but I have a feeling it might just be real!
is comments quickly earned criticism from the LGBT+ Conservatives group.
They wrote: “Hi, Ben. Please do get in touch with us so that we can explain why gender-neutral toilets are really a welcome move for #trans people. 😀😀😀”
He did not reply.
Some on social media questioned why the Conservative Party official tasked with winning over younger voters was making light of youth activists.
One response said: “Ben, I’m a fan, but this tweet is crap. Stuff like safe spaces and gender-neutral spaces are what young people (including young tories) are starting to expect. Don’t mock just because they’re not important to you.”
Another added: “What is it about this that you object to? Seriously, what have you lost by these small acts of kindness between people with whom you’d never associate?”
