The 51-year-old MP has been criticized for referring to trans women as 'male bodied' and opposing their access to safe spaces like domestic violence shelters, women's prisons, and single-sex toilets.
Criticism against Duffield escalated when her alleged friendship with JK Rowling was condemned, with Labour's executive director of communications suggesting constituents would prefer her to engage more with them than with Rowling.
"Couple of inaccurate comments from this chap (unsure how he thinks he knows so much about my constituency as no Labour leader has been there since I became an MP?)," Duffield responded to criticism regarding her interactions with Labour leader Keir Starmer.
Rosie Duffield's views on the trans community have sparked ongoing controversy within the Labour party, prompting calls for addressing transphobia from within by MP Nadia Whittome.
