This isn’t in the news yet so a tweet will have to do.

Shouts of “shame!” and boos as a Labour delegate tells the conference hall she stands with Rosie Duffield and she will defend her right to hold her views on biological sex.

Shouts of “shame” and boos because women say that women are women.

We'll pass your thanks on! It's Bronwen Davies, of LWD working group. We're preparing for our public meeting at the moment, she'll join us later. Please come if you're in Brighton – 5.45 central Brighton location. https://t.co/tYCwYIaKaq

Curious as to whether any Labour men will have the courage to stand with her, and if he’d get the same reaction.
