Why isn't this in the Guardian??

Hmm, maybe because it's not a woman sharing her views. So they can't accuse them of having an "ugly stain" or whatever.

Is Blair wading in going to help us with Starmer? I fear it won't but would be glad to be wrong.

I'm still glad he's speaking out. Makes it very clear that it's NOT a left-right issue.

Well, he's not a left/right kinda guy. As PP say, he's clearly given the matter at least two minutes of thought.

Is he just being thick? Does he think that ‘reassigning gender’ is literally having the opposite sex’s sex organs fashioned by surgeons?

The GRA doesn’t even require surgery for a GRC.

He is the one in a bloody muddle. Clearly.

I had been wondering what Blair in his political prime would have made of the trans issue. I'd like to think he was astute politician enough to go with the common sense majority and not make himself look stupid being unable to answer basic questions. But of course he was heavily influenced by US foreign policy, so may have been suggestible to gender-woo from that direction.

Great. Cheers for your careful and considered thoughts on possibly the worst bit of legislation you passed Hmm

It is the bleeding obvious, but I'm just glad he has said it! Get the ball rolling in the right direction

Remind me, who introduced the GRA?

https://archive.ph/OIlfQ I'd jump several walls to slap him round the chops while shouting 'what.were.you.thinking!'

Ooh, ooh I know that one Miss! The Labour Party!

And Blair still thinks chopping your cock off should get you into women's spaces; he clearly has not given this more that a passing thought.
