      Condemning people for being transphobic, vile, hurtful & divisive is being transphobic? Saying there are hateful & sensible people on both sides is transphobic. Saying people in masks blocking people meeting is transphobic?

      Saying "where are the trans people condemning physical assaults" is transphobic. Saying Woman's Place UK, an organisation whose *sole and only purpose* is to force trans people out of public life, are reasonable people *IS TRANSPHOBIC*

      As a liberal I do not believe you should obstruct people's human rights to assembly & free speech by force - you should take them on in open debate or report criminal speech to the police. You define @Womans_Place_UK in that way. I've only met 2 of them & it was not their purpose

      *EVERY TRANS PERSON I KNOW* defines Woman's Place that way, as do their own statements and actions.

      But Andrew Hickey Died 10 YearsAgo This Very Night Retweeted Zoe O'Connell

      For a start you could try listening to the exec of LGBT+ Lib Dems, which according to https://twitter.com/zoeimogen/status/989262097400979457 … you haven't been.

      But you would know some of this if you had met trans members of the LGBT+ exec to discuss the proposed GRA reforms before you started speaking in support of WPUK.

      But a bunch of people kicked out of Labour for being transphobic are probably going to give a far better briefing than his own party’s equality campaigners, amrite?

          I have had one meeting and regrettably, despite being super-talented, I cannot be in two meetings at once! I am not trying to blame anyone. I was asking a genuine & legitimate question. Please DM or email a date, time and place and I will be there.

          I'm sorry it wasn't the first meeting I had but I didn't believe I needed to be convinced of the merits or substance of your arguments. I certainly did in their case.

          You've been saying over and over that they are not opposed to trans rights. That's only true if you accept their definition that trans rights don't actually include such basic rights as the right to access services.

          After your actions tonight you may be lucky to find anyone on the exec, let alone someone willing to meet with you. You really have no comprehension of the damage you’ve caused, do you?

          You are being literally as unreasonable as it is possible to be. You are going round hurting vulnerable people willy-nilly and then tone-policing them.
