There's nothing to beat waking on a Saturday to the sound of women cutting their @UKLabour membership cards into tiny pieces. This is crass, stupid, sexist and plain wrong on every count from @Keir_Starmer. A misjudgement of colossal proportions. #WomenWontWheesht #SexMatters

We can't imagine how @Keir_Starmer thinks it's OK to say what he did. We think with his background he must know the law - but since he's always declined to meet us we can't say for sure. But we do know this appalling comment will cost the party dearly.

So, @Keir_Starmer, you think there should be a more "respectful" debate on "trans issues"? How about listening to women, then. You could have listened to our well-evidenced, carefully-argued views. We've been nothing but respectful. You've ignored us.

In your craven statement, Keir, you've perfectly articulated the contradiction at the heart of @UKLabour policy on sex and gender identity.

Women are adult human females AND transwomen are women.

Both cannot simultaneously be true. That's what the party needs to sort out.

When policy starts from this glaring, fundamental untruth, it cannot work. We can't have single-sex spaces as defined in the Equality Act if people can identify into the opposite sex. Spaces segregated by gender identity are not segregated by sex. It's not hard. #WomenWontWheesht
