Labour losing women

Is it possible to find out how many female members Labour has lost over the last couple of years?

I imagine their membership has fallen quite a bit overall what with one thing and another, but I wonder whether women have been more likely to go.

Personally I left some while ago. Told them I felt I had to since I think humans have two reproductive sexes and I understand that's incompatible with their inclusive ethos. No reply.

Nothing has improved since and I keep seeing women saying they've left.

(But kudos to the women staying to fight. I can't do anything active at the moment so felt like I was giving tacit approval to the female erasure and exclusion of fabulous feminists.)

They have the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights now instead, with the manifesto which called Woman’s Place UK a trans-exclusionist hate group and demanded that women are expelled.

This pledge was signed a little over 6 months ago by all the leadership contenders apart from starmer. I really don't think things are better and won't be for some time

I get the impression things are improving a bit since the days of the 'Labour Against Transphobia' movement that tried to evict feminists from the party.

I doubt they could tell you, they don't even know what a woman is!*

True, of course the data they have will be 'people of either sex who call themselves women' not female party members. But nonetheless.
