"I find it revealing how sport is the issue that has mobilised men. It allows two dudes to discuss how much stronger/faster/better they are than women. I cant imagine two dudes being quite so enthused about discussing their sexs greater propensity to violence rape & abuse. I just had a Labour canvasser at the door. Told him I'm finding it difficult to support any party in this election because they've all been absolutely suckered by radical transactivism to the detriment of women's rights. Dude boxes and plays rugby. Totally agreed with me. #Hope I just had a Labour canvasser at the door. Told"

"@WIAW18 @kreeve It's an easy mantra to repeat: "if Labour won't define 'woman' then they won't be able to help women". It's taken on a similar function as the "trans women are women" mantra. It's a thought-stifling catechism that's easy to repeat ad infinitum - but it's not necessarily true"

"@WIAW18 @kreeve I don't think it is that simple. There's a difference between the definition of woman that Labour use when formulating policy (which it seems to me is woman = adult female) and their public messaging in the run-up to an election when they're trying not to alienate anyone"

"@WIAW18 @kreeve That's one person in an entire party. I didn't say that no-one in Labour is captured by gender nonsense. I said that it's a minority view within the party and that their policies seem to me to be formulated on a sensible definition of 'woman'"

"@ytg2009 @kreeve It's a crap answer on her behalf I agree. But it was hardly a "confirmation" of anything. One person can't make a decision like that and she seemed very unsure ("I would imagine."). She did also reiterate that the Equality Act allows for preservation of single-sex spaces"
