Sunak telling Robin White that biological sex is important live on GB news

[fromorbit]

'Particularly when it comes to questions around women's safety and health, biological sex is important.' Parents need to be involved in schools.

Rishi Sunak is asked 'why should LGBT people vote Conservative?'

TBF, RMW has said that they didn’t want to risk vocal chord surgery, what with being a barista barrister.

Yes

The abbreviation RMW in earlier posts stands for Robin Moira White.

Anyway, Robin is used for girls (actual girls) now. At one time I heard a belief that Robyn was the female spelling, but I'm not sure that was ever universally true.

RMW told a parliamentary committee he'd purposely not got a GRC as was waiting for self-ID.

Vocal chord surgery?? 😵‍💫

Well that was RMW’s claim.

But yeah, we all know that it’s about wanting to hang on to the gravitas traditionally associated with a male voice.

Ooo so we also have confirmation that Robin White is aligned with the far right too then?

The Guardian is not impressed.

The Guardian view on Rishi Sunak’s transgender jibe: sorry seems to be the hardest word Editorial
The prime minister should be making an apology to a murdered teenager’s parents rather than continuing with a culture war on GB News

I can also safely ignore everything Robin said here because it’s on GB News who previously have focused on things I oppose. If the source isn’t pure enough then it doesn’t matter what is actually said. Until RMW appears on Stonewall TV News hosted by Ben Hunte and Benjamin Buttergasp, it’s like nothing important is being said.

I think that’s also how it works🤔.

In the upcoming election, I will be voting Tory. For the last 30+ years my husband and I have voted Labour - and lib dem to tactically unseat the tories - so this is a HUGE turnaround for me, almost exclusively on this exact issue.

Now, it might not make any difference whatever. But, there are certainly some seats that have been won by literally a handful of votes. And I remember when Brown lost the election, Cameron didn't even get a majority.

The Tories are undoubtedly out at the next election - whatever I think, it's just time for a new government - but a handful of seats lost on a handful of votes really could make the difference between a strong and stable Labour government and a shaky collaboration.

And Starmer reminds me of Varys from Game of thrones. Where as rishi seems thoroughly decent.

Just saying.

I hope this picks up

Starmer will find it hard to respond beyond we don’t talk about that

You are referring to GB 'news', seriously?

The channel is a propaganda machine for far right views and Sunak is a corrupt and incompetent PM.

The fact that you might agree with him on this one point (gender) should not mean that you should ignore the above facts.

No good can ever come with associating yourself with this type of people or tv channel.

Sunak has zero interest in supporting women by the way...this is just another desperate attempt to get a few votes from the gullible...

No good can ever come with associating yourself with this type of people or tv channel.

Why do i feel someone is walking through the thread with a bell shouting "UNCLEAN UNCLEAN!"

Step away from GB news ladies before your brain rots and you become incapable of thinking!I

FFS

I repeat.

Why is it ok for RMW to go and associate themselves with this channel but not Rishi Sunak?

Why is RS far right but not RMW?

?
Yes, that's what I said!
(It was a joke, I don't watch GB News but I'm still capable of analysing what is said on there, in case starting is concerned)

Again... It's the "logic" that would suggest both sides are wrong for having their views broadcast on that channel.

Everything I disagree with is Far Right and Nazis.

It's raining today, I don't like the rain because it's far-right.

Haha the tone of it made me laugh

Very women know your place

Does he really think we are going to fall for this?

No good can ever come with associating yourself with this type of people or tv channel.

I don't "associate myself" with this type of person or tv channel. I have the mental capacity to listen to what they say and evaluate it critically.

You could always suggest some left-wing politicians and tv channels I could tune into on these issues?

It's hammering down here:big old Nazi drops the size of pound coins.

I wouldn't be at all surprised at a little girl called Robin. Someone in their sixties I'd assume male.

The trouble with a coalition is who do Labour collaborate with? Lib dem, Green, SNP - from a women's rights point of view, all the options are worse than Labour alone.
