To think this is a vote winner (though not election clincher) from Sunak?

Thought this was an impressive and clear response to the question, from Rishi. I suppose Labour will likely win by a landslide, because many people don’t care enough about women’s rights. Because I do care very much about women’s rights, I may vote Conservative for the first time ever (cue outrage for Lion). Will I regret it? Possibly. But I’d regret voting for Labour (aka women’s rights removers), even more.

You care about the Tory Party. That's it.🤷‍♀️

Laughable.

Please stop shouting @lifeturnsonadime. Yes, you can care about more than one thing but anyone proposing to vote Tory doesn’t care about any of those women I listed.

@blossomtoes careful, you'll get accused of tone policing 😬

I wish people put the same amount of effort into criticising the use of the word "reasonable" as written into our rape laws, as they do to the Labour Party using it about sex based spaces.
I know which of those two uses is harming women the most.....

Most of us are not proposing to vote Tory though.

We are asking Labour to do better.

I'm shouting because it makes me angry that Labour voters are apathetic on this issue. We can't change anything for the better for women if we let things slide because 'at least they're not Tory'.

I've voted Labour for two decades, I get my news from a range of sources.

Don’t care. I hate shouting in the internet almost as much as I hate it audibly. It’s entirely unnecessary.

Starmer says women can have penises. That's also pretty clear.

Errrrrr......provide better legal advice to service providers and organisations supporting women, so they can exclude India if they deem India's presence unreasonable? Exactly as they are proposing?

How do you think India can be prevented from using womens spaces? Have any parties got an answer?

Who watches GB news ? It's just a politically biased mouthpiece for the tories!

Amendments to the Equality Act could do it.

I believe some TW have had their penises removed. Do they become women?

This is likely the only way

Unless someone wants to offer another, this is it

Sunak said women are whatever Boris Johnson says.
Boris Johnson refused to say that only women have a cervix.
Theresa May said anyone could be a woman if they felt like it.

The Tory position on this is very clear to me. They don't give a shit about women regardless.

Has he said they’re biological women?

How would amendments do it, in practice? Under the Tories, organisations haven't been using the existing act to protect women

Absolutely!

Why are so many so utterly craven about this? Labour are letting women down. Badly. Why let them get away with it??

I don't know if this is a full viable alternative, but an idea that I think came up in the recent discussion on the upcoming legal action against a gym chain (David Lloyd maybe?) was that the key injustice was having a mixed sex changing room but labelling it female.
If a law was passed that said labelling of single sex services had to be transparent and clear, that might achieve a lot in some areas and be politically easier than rewriting the EA.
So a gym could have a policy allowing some bio males into women's changing room, but it wouldn't then be able to label the service as female only, which could make many businesses think twice about the popularity of such a policy with their customers.

Certainly not the most pressing issue after the way the Tories have wrecked the place for the last 14 years.

Not to mention the whole Trans culture war has happened on their watch and they've not done anything about it.

Are you saying that you don't think that laws can ever be amended to protect specific rights?

The fact that the laws were badly drafted and lobby groups have deliberately been misrepresenting them is not good reason not to amend laws to ensure that women are protected.

On the one hand you appear to be criticising Kemi Badenoch for not being 'quick enough' to make such amendments but now you are saying it's just too complicated !!

It will take careful drafting and working with organisations so that they understand that the Stonewall interpretation of laws don't continue. It won't happen over night but it is not insurmountable by any means. Labour really could do it you know.

You'd think they'd want to having seen the harms to women.

That's because Tories don't give a shit about women. Or children. At best they are lazy, negligent and uncaring.

At worst they have pursued a Men's Rights, rapist's charter since coming to power in 2010.

On the one hand you appear to be criticising Kemi Badenoch for not being 'quick enough' to make such amendments but now you are saying it's just too complicated !!

It’s got nothing to do with Badenock not being quick enough. The Tories have had 14 years to address your concerns and still haven’t even said they’re going to.

Why? Because a lot of the trans ideology comes from women.

Women are a majority of the electorate. If they were united on the issue then that would be the end of it, but they're split.

Are there inorganic women?

Because realistically for a lot of people it's a choice of the Tories or Labour.

There's no other realistic choice where I live. A vote for anyone other than Labour where I am, is a vote for the Tories.

I don't think Labour are perfect, but I believe women will be better with 7 years of Labour than another 7 of the Tories fucking women and children (and everyone else who isn't super rich) over left, right and centre.
