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

The party's SAO on these issues *does* believe that, however, and as a Lib Dem member I think
@LGBTLD must surely, in its role as relevant SAO, be our first point of reference as a standard benchmark, and not the positions of either you or I as cisgender men? -

I think there's something immensely sinister about a man actively hounding other men to dissolve women's rights, spaces and sex-protections. What on earth gives you right?
