Also I'm aghast that Jess Phillips is repeatedly called a Tory by Labour supporters.

Oh sure, but ime the Indy editorial line on these matters up until now can be summed up as 'evil transphobic bigots are responsible for the deaths of trans people and we need to re-educate them'

Wow! Women should be allowed an opinion, how gracious of them to desist from no debate.

It reminds me of a card I once saw in a bookshop decades ago that went as follows:

'And for your birthday my dear, I will give you an orgasm'

Imagine Victorian gentleman standing by the fireplace and talking down to dear wife who gratefully sits below.

Can the row over Labour’s all-women shortlists really be responsible for a six-point drop among female voters? It seems extraordinary that one issue – and an issue that has not received much attention beyond social media – would cause such a slump in the polls.

Misses the point a little IMO , and focusing so closely on AWS obfuscates the issue, which is the wider implications of self-ID, particularly women's safety and right to privacy.

It is a bit lacking. The comments certainly are.

Well bugger me. An Indy article that reports women's concerns! Only a bit mind, but the tone suggests we should actually be allowed an opinion.

Progress?
