Activist 'sacked after raising concerns about transwomen in refuges'

Also in the Times. I'm disgusted. It's such cynical game-playing from Khan, all to appease a tiny minority of TRAs. There's no way he actually believes this stuff.

I'm going to write to him. Joan Smith is a feminist rock star.

I hope she takes legal action against him.

Just unbelievable. How can he possibly say he's for women and then pull this kind of stunt? As ever, actions speak louder than words. He's a coward.
Because he is not?

This is awful.

What a coward. Can't address reasonable concerns so just sack the woman who raised them..

Appalling. It's like Labour actually wants to lose women's votes.

Just saw that . Appalling cop out by Khan. A wave of resignations from Labour might concentrate his mind.

Really poor timing when she's the foremost specialist making the link between domestic abuse and terrorism.
