I left the Labour Party shortly after the 12-point pledge went into circulation (in spring 2020) and was signed by most of the Labour shadow cabinet. I realise that Keir Starmer signed a pared back 10-point pledge but he still signed up to the claim that ‘Transwomen are women, and so I no longer trust the party, under his guidance, to protect single-sex provisions.
Moreover, I was disgusted at the party’s treatment of Rosie Duffield. Hardly any of her colleagues stuck up for her when she was slandered as transphobic. Not surprising, though, given that many in the shadow cabinet thinks Labour should follow the Liberal Democrat’s example and eject party members who claim that trans women are not women - which is a basic observance and a matter of scientific fact.
