POLICE were called to escort attendees safely from the Labour Women’s Declaration’s #ExpelMe rally following confrontations with protesters outside the event last night.
Activists accusing the meeting of transphobia gathered outside the Maxilla Social Club to picket the event, which was called in response to the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights’s demand that members of Woman's Place UK and the LGB Alliance, which it referred to as transphobic hate groups, be expelled from the Labour Party.
The organisations both reject accusations of transphobia. Woman’s Place says it organises to protect women’s sex-based rights and women’s right to organise and discuss issues that affect them.
