      Can I remind everyone I started by tweeting why I support trans rights, that I still support trans rights, that I am trying to understand all the arguments & I am not taking sides. BUT I am taking sides against lies, distortions, intimidation & hate FROM WHEREVER IT COMES

      Then why are you tweeting supportively about, rather than condemning, the tactics of groups like "Woman's Place", which explicitly seek to use aggressive, lying smear campaigns against trans women? I honestly don't understand how you can support them and claim to oppose lies.

      Please show a tweet where I am supporting what they are saying. I am supporting their right to meet & discuss. I met 2 of them, together with 4 others. I have made no statement of support for what the group believe. I am being attacked for listening & upholding fundamental rights

      You retweeted someone earlier claiming that "only one camp wants to shut down discussion". This is provably false. Woman's Place want to prevent self-declared trans women from joining in women's spaces, which is exactly where many of these discussions need to take place.

      I know self-declared trans women who have not only attended their events but have spoken at them. Your assertion is simply not true.

      By invitation, Brian, not by right. It is WPUK's position that, fundamentally, gender identity is not a subject of discrimination - see for example their model motion that they want CLPs to pass which has this as point 1. Can you not see how damaging that is for trans people?

      As I say, I have made no comment yet about the group as a whole and as I have consistently said, I do not want to comment on the substantive issues until I have learned enough from all those who want to engage with me.

          Would it not, then, possibly be a good idea for you to remove & avoid tweets on this issue until such time as you feel able to discuss it in more depth? You have a significant public platform, and your wording and framing of tweets *matters*.

          You can see that many of us - your own party colleagues - are worried that your making interim statements on this without a clear view of the issues risks presenting a harmful distraction to Lib Dem efforts as a whole in this area. You have a responsibility to the party here.

          Please indicate what interim statements I have made on the substantive issues of trans rights or other's rights in connection with trans rights. There are none. The only things I have said are I support trans rights and condemn transphobia. If you want me to withdraw them, tough!

          You said of Women's Place UK that "they are as determined to protect trans rights as they are to protect their own rights" a matter of minutes ago. That is a substantive statement on their intentions which I'm aware that a number of trans Lib Dem members would deeply dispute.

          That's because I did not say what WPUK's intentions were. I said 2 people in the room, in a private meeting, who were representatives of WPUK, told me that is what *they* believed. They did not say it was WPUK policy.

          You hardly made that clear - and that's exactly my point. As someone in a senior position in our party, you have a leadership responsibility. Your words affect whether activists will feel welcome, or unsafe, in the Lib Dems.

          Tweets that may be construed (which yours can be and are being, intentionally or not) as legitimating - even if not supporting - a group many of us see as existing to undermine the human rights of fellow Lib Dems is the sort of thing that puts activists in an impossible position.

          If someone wishes to make an official complaint for bringing the party into disrepute, I am more than happy for that to happen. What about the rights of Lib Dems who want to attend WPUK meetings? Clearly if I believed WPUK were undermining human rights, I would not talk to them
