Councillor Patricia Hannah-Wood said that when she was using the venue’s toilets on 26 September, a colleague subjected her to transphobic hate.
During a speech to delegates on 28 September, she said: “On Sunday evening … I was in the loo downstairs with a few of my colleagues from the North West when I was transphobically abused in this conference centre by one of our sisters in this conference hall now. “It should not happen, we have got an anti-bigotry and anti-bullying policy in the Labour Party.
We need it to be enforced.” Hannah-Wood went on to call for LGBTQ+ equality given the “obstacles and growing violence” facing the community.
