Reposted by Grumpy Old ManchildDuncan Hothersall @dhothersall.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is the clearest possible example of how trans exclusion harms women's rights. This conference hosted important discussions about a whole range of critical issues, but its decisions were devalued by the fact that the party capitulated to the threat of lawfare. Transphobia harms all women. 248655
