RESIGNATION FROM @LGBTLD. In an ill-thought-through response to criticism that politicians were failing to engage, I inadvertently broke a promise I had made to @LGBTLD. This placed them in a difficult position. As a result I decided it was best for me to resign from @LGBTLD.

So sorry you are being put under this pressure Brian. This row is about the conflation of sex and gender. It seems painfully obvious that in a democracy, women - the oppressed 50% - should be allowed to express their concerns about this. Who is pushing for your resignation?

I volunteered it. Politics

Im so sorry Brian. It is a pity. We need politicians who stand up against accepted orthodoxies and listen to the voices which are silenced, and marginalised. It is hard, and lonely, but what else are you in politics for?

I wish people would read the thread. The only thing I’ve resigned from is my party’s LGBT+ group, not from politics, not from debating these issues, not from the Lib Dems, not from the House of Lords, not from being a fully paid-up homosexual, not from...

And thank goodness for that. We're counting on the Lords to help us with the mess that is the Tory Brexit direction
