SW has come under fire from TRAs and is fighting her corner on Twitter. I've not seen the full thread or the retweet that has sent the TRAs into a spin - can anyone linky? Thanks

this is my absolute favourite reply to Sophie Walker. Do you think it can possibly be genuine...??

Blocked for your bigotry. Wonderful women like @madigan_lily risk their lives due to TERFs. Women's party needs to do better !

...who is not a ginormous racist - who isn't mouthing TWAW at me while posing for a selfie with a TRA and musing about how biology is all a bit made up. And under those circumstances I have hope for the WEP...

I think Sophie is walking a potentially terrible tightrope with some success. What happened to Heather was awful but I do have some hope that the end if the tightrope might be in the right place.

Atm she is the only political leader who is not a ginormous racist -

It started here: twitter.com/SophieRunning/status/980024609012637696

But since then she's put up additional threads on her twitter account.

It looks like she's trying to encourage reasoned discussion.......watching from a distance.

Was just about to post on this - she's retweeted Hadley Freeman's article, and said women & trans women need to figure this out, so the usual transphobia accusations are starting to fly. Can't see this ending well. It was inevitable this would happen at some point, especially after the piss poor handling of Heather's investigation. Women can't be gaslit forever, so the wholesale buy in to trans women are women mantra wouldn't hold up indefinitely.
