On gender transition at PMQs:" biology overwhelmingly important", preceded by urging respect for those feeling they need to transition. Sounded calm, respectful,and kinda where we were on course before the TRA actions.

Oh brilliant, I’ll definitely vote for this overwhelmingly corrupt party lead by a suspected criminal then Hmm

The Tories are looking to put clear water between them and Labour on this issue, you can bet they will be using it come election time.

Ugh. I agree with exactly what he said, and the manner in which he said it. And I absolutely don't have time for any of Kier Starmer's blithering bullshit. Please someone tell me that I haven't just hit that point in middle-age where I suddenly switch to being a tory bastard?!!

He’s not to be trusted on this or anything else. But it means the damage this is doing to Labour has been noticed

@MsTSwift

What do we do?! I surely can’t vote Tory but they are the only ones showing sense on this.
Snap.

Yes that's the sad thing. I cannot vote Tory. But this is big enough for me to not vote Labour. The Greens are awash with this as are the Lib Dems.
I don't have to agree with a party on everything, but I have to agree on more than one thing so I can't vote Tory.

VestofAbsurdity · 23/03/2022 12:50

Interesting is the use of the words overwhelming important

Suspect the Tory Party can see the tide is turning, they've seen the ridicule heaped on the Labour Party members who can't/won't say what a woman is.

Also in the Graun live blog:

Angela Richardson (Con) asks if the PM supports research into why so many girls are experiencing gender distress.
Johnson says he would be happy to have a meeting on this. MPs realise this issue requires sensitivity, tact and care. If people want to make a transition, they should be treated with maximum generosity, he says.
But he says, when it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, “the basic facts of biology remain overwhelmingly important”.

Boris also committed to meet her and other MPs, I think

MarshaBradyo · 23/03/2022 12:45

That is good to read.

Something I can make sense of and agree with.

tabbycatstripy · 23/03/2022 12:45

Big.

Boris: 'The issue (gender distress) is one that the whole House is coming to realise needs tact, love and care...in addition, when it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, the facts of biology remaining overwhelmingly important'
