[quote] Some members of the Liberal Democrats have been frustrated over equality scandals which have hit the party during the General Election. Many have become frustrated watching their leader stumble on questions pertaining to [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/19/absolute-disgrace-tim-farron-fire-refusing-answer-asked-gay/"]homosexuality[/URL] and [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/17/lib-dems-claim-tim-farron-has-changed-mind-abortion-forced-deny/"]abortion.[/URL] Now, transgender members of the Liberal Democrats, along with young supporters of the party, have hit out at the leadership for a poster they think is at best tasteless and at worst offensive to transgender people. [/quote] [url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/22/liberal-democrats-face-backlash-members-transphobic-poster/[/url] a load of bullshit, tbh. I can see how they could extrapolate it in that way. But I try to always give charitable interpretations and the message is pretty clear.
It's a bit unfortunate that they took that road. They could've just posted the pic of him and Trump shaking hands instead :v:.
What a bunch of babies. It's a basic as shit message
Nah i'm not seeing it. I get why people would be on the look out for this kind of thing considering their leaders previous blunders- but methinks they were looking a little too hard on this occasion. [editline]28th May 2017[/editline] Also that's such a shit photoshop lmao
As trans myself, I can confirm that anyone offended by that poster on the grounds of being 'transphobis' are fucking babies.

The far left social liberal side of most democratic parties is going to be their fucking undoing if they keep shooting their mouths off at inconsequential bullshit that no reasonable person should care about. [editline]28th May 2017[/editline] And this is coming from a democrat who voted for Sanders in the primary and Clinton in the general. Stop. Trying. To find. Things. To be offended by.
it takes real skill to be offended about something like this, holy shit lol
Heh, that poster is actually pretty funny.
These people are ruining the left wing and are largely responsible for the resurgence of reactionary right wing shite. Fuck off please, this is absurd.
[media]https://twitter.com/LibDems/status/865870752649793536[/media] Poster in question. I mean I can UNDERSTAND why people would find it offensive. They're probably reminded of transphobic political messages using a similar font.

Fucking hell, how do these people live when they're as fragile as this? :unimpressed:

And so if they have power like a politician as an example who have control media (relations with their CEOs) with basic identity politics (feminism and ethnic African politics) and kinda dumbing down real Progressives and some rational Social liberals into what are right now.

Dear Santa, I have never asked for anything from you, and I know you have lot's to do from now until christmas, but please, I beg of you, gather all your elves and your wife and draw a pentagram on the ground with salt, call upon the devil to resurrect Hitler for just enough time to wipe out anybody offended by this image, for the future of mankind.
