Rather curious news story

One could interpret it as referring to transphobia, but given that Momentum is likely to have purged any such people from the party, it strikes me that this is rather more likely to refer to tweets such as these

It obviously makes far more sense that Labour would cover up an investigation into someone using violent language against feminists than they would protect someone accused of transphobia - the latter would have been expelled....

I think the nature of this complaint is quite clear.....

Actually I have decided to identify as circumgender myself now. I shall put it on on all forms where I am asked for my 'gender' not 'sex'.
We will see how people turn themselves inside out to accommodate that.

Tweets deleted - anyone got a screen shot or an archive page?

Not clear by whom nor whether it's permanent.

'In my head I am someone else. The someone else is the opposite sex to mine. However, the someone else wants to be my sex.'

Yes I think that covers it and is the simplest explanation I've heard!
