"I honestly think Zarah Sultana (who I have faith in) and Jeremy Corbyn need to make a statement about Adnan Hussain MP and trans rights. 'They're not biologically women' My community is living in very real fear at the moment. Terrifying. We are sick to the back teeth of hearing trans hate is a 'point of view',"
"There was no hatred expressed, India, it's a conversation that needs to be had. Agreeing with women on their need for spaces exclusive to them is not an expression of hatred to any other community. I stated the need for safe spaces for trans people, that's not hatred."
"I agree, women's rights and safe spaces should not be encroached upon. Safe third spaces should be an alternative option."
Adnan Hussain, a former Labour MP allied with Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana in a new left-wing grouping, posted online that trans women are 'not biologically women,' prompting controversy. The Blackburn MP's tweets arguing for women's exclusive spaces and 'safe third spaces' for others triggered calls for the faction to state its position on trans rights. Trans broadcaster India Willoughby demanded a statement, saying the community fears rising trans hate. Hussain defended his remarks as a necessary conversation and insisted he had called for safe spaces for trans people and did not express hatred.
