Young lesbians. You can be gender non-conforming without being fed big pharma or having your breasts mutilated. I’ve been gnc all my life. You do not need to transition. You’re not in the wrong body. You’re just the way your supposed to be. You’re perfect.

Finished my telly bit on Churchill and I managed to mention women! Specifically Churchill’s responsibility for violence against the Suffragettes. & the women who died in Bengal (in their millions), in Greece, Noway etc I hope I did them some small justice 🤞🏻

Trolling lesbians, comparing butch women to men - this is the kind of damaging harassment young lesbians face daily. You are beautiful, my sisters, and you are strong. We are everywhere. Don't let them tell you otherwise. #LesbianVisibility twitter.com/TeleTransOne/s…

I'm an atheist but I have to ask as woman who respects other women's choices... Do you have the backs of our sisters whose lived experience in tied to their religious beliefs as you continue to assert self-id as something to aspire to in law as well as Labour policy?

Have you got our backs when we face racism akin to the attitudes J. Marion Sims had towards black women as we encounter more and more "othering" in attempts to validate male claims to womanhood?

Are women who see the conflation of gender and sex as an all too real threat to lesbians, esp young lesbians who, still learning to navigate the concept of consent, guilt-trip themselves into homophobic conversion therapy because... "transphobia" included? #LabourLosingWomen

Have you got the backs of women journalists and commentators who are subject to barrages of abuse when talking about women's issues using woman related terms?

Have you got the backs of women in the academic sphere who are being no-platformed for defending a woman centered feminism because they are only too aware of how our bodies are at the very centre of our oppression? #LabourLosingWomen

Are women being misrepresented as bigots in order to expel them from @UKLabour for pointing out women and transwomen face different challenges and have different needs stemming from having different physiology also included in that statement, Dawn? #LabourLosingWomen

Are the hundreds of us being routinely slurred, abused and wholly misrepresented online and elsewhere as bigots and transphobes for defending women's right to set our own boundaries included too? #LabourLosingWomen

These are the questions we aren't allowed to ask.
