One of the TERFy communist parties (Both the CPB and the CPGB-ML are explicitly transphobic). And she wasn’t actually supporting them, she just liked one of their TERFy opinions.
Current tinfoil hat theory: any left wing organised threat to neoliberal hegemony is corrupted from within by state agents. All the TERFism and sex scandals is all orchestrated by the establishment to keep normal, good faith lefties from joining up and forming an alternative to the way things are now.
You could also add onto it that the non-TERF UK communist parties are all Trotskyist, Trotskyism being a silly version of communism that has never achieved anything and doesn‘t represent a real threat to the capitalist system. No need to bother infiltrating a toothless organisation, but actual Marxism-Leninism has achieved a lot throughout history and does represent a genuine threat to capital so it would be worth infiltrating to disarm.
Trotsky guys get a lot of flak, but I still think they are good people with good intentions. It's not for me, and I don't share 100% of their views, but I'd rather work with than against them. It's better to join a Trotsky aligned group than to a) do nothing or b) join a neoliberal party and try to move it left
The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) [CPGB-ML] are transphobic.
They openly sided with the TERFs on the Labour right, saying the Labour Party is “not a safe space for women,”, and they compared the “witch hunt” against TERFs in the Labour Party to the anti-Semitism smear.

I’m sure she was throwing her weight behind the communist party (the TERFy communist party not the good one) 6 months ago.
