I stood as a Party Of Women candidate for St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire because I do not believe anybody on the ballot paper will adequately represent me, an adult human female. 

​

I initially became aware of the issue of ‘transitioning’ around 2011 while working within Littlehey Prison. I left the prison thinking ‘this is mad, nobody will allow men into women’s prisons!’ I pushed my concerns aside knowing ‘there is nothing I can do’, after an incident in 2017 I lifted the rock, began reading, found and joined women’s groups, read more, attended events, listened and eventually started writing letters, then getting involved with on street activism.

 

Despite living in a democracy, over the years my questions to elected representatives about aspects of self-identification (self ID), gender identity and the impact on women and girls, have been ignored, met with derision, scorn and name calling, rather than reasoned conversation. This led to me making the decision on Saturday 18th May 2024 to stand as a parliamentary candidate.

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) is one of the state funded institutions found to have discriminated against and/or harassed a female employee for asserting their sex based beliefs. This cost taxpayers approx £130K. Why were Equality Act related policies and practices not legally compliant? Do CCC offer advice to other councils or schools & is this information legally compliant?
