Belief in magic gender is mandatory in The New Party.

Gender-critical MPs have “no place” in Jeremy Corbyn’s new hard-Left party, his co-founder has said.

Zarah Sultana, who was suspended by Labour last year and quit the party last month, said there was “no room” in the party for people who don’t have “pro-trans” values amid an escalating transgender row between party hopefuls.

What is “hard left” about believing in magic gender? It’s not hard left or soft left or any kind of left at all. It’s just dumb.

“Ms Sultana told the Pod Save the UK podcast on Tuesday: “If people don’t have pro-trans, pro-migrant, anti-racist values, there are plenty of other political spaces you can enter but not this one.”

Why? How is anti-racist connected to pro-trans ideology? I specify trans ideology because that’s the issue here. It’s not a matter of saying “we get to be mean to people who claim to be trans”; it’s matter of saying trans ideology is a bad new religion. There’s nothing lefty about it, unless you think worship of self-indulgent fantasies at the expense of reality is lefty. (To be fair, lots of lefties apparently do think exactly that.)

Sultana continues:

“Because we have to have our values, we have to let people know what we stand for. We have to defend the rights, life and dignity of everyone, and that means centring the most marginalised.”

Not necessarily. It doesn’t mean centering murderers or torturers or rapists. Some types of people are marginalized for good reasons.

“There is no room for socially conservative views in a Left-wing party, period.”

Ah but now explain how you define “socially conservative views”. Is it really socially conservative to be aware that men are not women? If it is, how can feminism exist at all? If everyone is a woman if he/she says so, then feminism becomes an empty category, because women can just identify into having more rights.
