Trans activists have been accused of launching smoke grenades at a Labour Women’s Declaration march held in West London Monday evening, in the shadow of Grenfell Tower.
The march was held to raise concerns over the Labour Party’s policy on transgender rights and the issue of the perceived intrusion of trans rights into the realm of women’s rights.

There was something very cult like about the chanting by trans activists which greeted us outside the @LabWomenDec#ExpelMe rally last night. The only chant that didn't involve repeating what the megaphone said was where they shouted "Fuck Off" in answer to Julie Bindel's name pic.twitter.com/GO5q1sDfCx
The trans activists claimed they were labelled as ‘scum’ by some of those who attended the march.
Several of the trans protesters were allegedly triggered by women discussing periods at the event but arrived to the protest wearing balaclavas with some brandishing crudely crafted penises on the outside of their trousers while asking women their names and addresses.
Trans activists covered their faces and chanted “transwomen are women” while brandishing signs which read “F**k TERFs” (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist).
The Labour Party has been embroiled in an ongoing schism over the issue, with one side, the Labour Women’s Declaration, campaigning for women-only spaces such as changing rooms, accommodation, refuges, hostels and prisons and that they be considered a protected class.
Meanwhile, the other side, the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights, campaigns for the party to recognize that “trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary people are non-binary” among other demands.
