leghair it was a provocative way of raising the issue, but frankly, if you can't handle provocative questions, you shouldn't be in politics at any level.
I'm a former Labour party member, and trust me, that is polite in comparison to some of the things I want to ask canvassers (but probably won't because frankly I know it's a lost cause... though I did have an interesting conversation with my actual MP recently).
But how about the practical consequences - because ultimately that's what matters politically.
Should male-bodied rapist Karen White be in a woman's prison?
Should teenage girls be told they have to shower after PE with fellow pupils who have penises, if those fellow pupils identify as a girls?
Should male-bodied individuals be able to bring human rights cases if they are excluded from contact sports with women, contact sports in which (in addition to the fundamental unfairness) they risk causing serious, even fatal injury?
Should rapes committed by people with penises (the legal definition of rape in the UK) be recorded as female crimes if the perpetrator identifies as a woman?
Should it be legal for a domestic violence shelter to say "we only cater for women of the sort born with vaginas"?
Should the simple act of using the wrong pronouns lead to criminal prosecutions under the Malicious Communications Act, or is this stretching the Act way beyond its original purpose?
What would your answer be to these questions on the doorstep? Or do you consider them too provocative to be worthy of an answer?
