Hello @_JennyMcKiernan in your otherwise sound article, Starmer does not believe trans women are women, you've misrepresented judgment here, "This means transgender women with a GRC can be excluded from single-sex spaces if "proportionate"". Wrong.

Good. Had to be done but finally leadership.

That's generous of you.

I'd say he's just about graduated to followership!

I don't think he ever believed it - he (like many others) just went along with it because he thought it made him look progressive

Show quote history

The rumour is he is trans ally due to a personal connection to a trans person.

Starmer does not believe that trans women are women (today).

I very much doubt be ever thought they were but was too much of a fricken coward to say so, until the supreme court clarification made it easier for him to be up-front about it. Spineless git.

It’s also the fact it’s a top headline

How many penises must a man possess
Before you can call him a man?
And who in the world may be a cervix-owner?
Is there any man who can?

Starmer’s answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind.
His answer is blowin' in the wind.

I'll take it, even if its being said through gritted teeth. Golden bridges and all that.

Lib Dems also accept the SC judgement as do the Tories.

Now we need to weed out the unlawful policy mess across the NHS, education sector and police.

LDs accept the ruling?

Well they might want to have a word with Christine Jardine than.
