Trans women have a cervix, who knew?

I mean, at this stage of the game, anyone voting for this shower has a death wish. https://x.com/LBC/status/1443125834626260993

You don't care that legislators and future government ministers are so seriously ill-informed? You don't care that people will be making laws based on false premises? OK

Is this a trick question? I actually don't know what the answer is. I guess it's possible that the only way to be pro-trans is through ignorance.

That particular interview though was pro-trans because it was (as far as I can tell) trying to say that trans women are "really" women (and that they have one of the features of Really Women, i.e.Cervix).

Just because it was 3 years ago it doesn't make it any less stupid. If you don't care why are you here arguing about it?

Yeah, that’s what I took from it.

Wow!

David Lammy's actual words
""I don't know if it's transphobic but it's not accurate, it's probably the case that trans women don't have ovaries but a cervix is something that .. I understand that a cervix is something you can have after various procedures, hormone treatments and all the rest of it."

"probably the case that trans women don't have ovaries" is a classic on its own - no, it's definitely the case that they don't have ovaries.

As for the cervix bit, as you say, wow!

David Lammy is stupid. You only have to watch his woeful performance on Mastermind.

What's worrying is that this time next week he could be our Foreign Secretary. We'll be a laughing stock.

I was reading something about Lammy the other day. Probably in one of Andrew Marr's awful Starmer puff-pieces in the NS. Anyway, apparently he's been doing important, grown-up stuff like schmoozing Republicans in the US prior to an expected Trump administration. Actually, for stupidity and wilful ignorance, he's probably got more in common with the Trumpists than I first thought, come to think about it!

Hey, Dave, do transmen have prostates?

No! At the time Lammy said he thought a cervix was " something that you could get with some surgery". It is amazing how many men have no clue what the cervix is.

Yes, I heard that duc748 there's also a rumour that Starmer refused to confirm that Lammy would be Foreign Secretary.

Better than Health Secretary I suppose

Oh God, don't go giving them ideas!

I think you'll find we're a laughing stock already

Well that's just done marvels for my hypertension.

Is he personally to be health minister?

Thank you for making me laugh after a tough day!

They're going with Wes Streeting as Health Secretary, cos he has a better handle on ladybits!

Would you like to rephrase that...😂

I'd like some evidence if that bold assertion, to be honest.

Or his cervix

Honestly, who cares? Why does someone start a thread everytime someone in the world says something pro-trans.

When somebody publicly states absolute nonsense as fact, it's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are talking bollocks. This includes, but is not limited to, 'pro-trans' statements.

Talking shite is not pro trans though is it?
It's just talking shite and if you talk shite as a politician then fair enough that it's called out.

I'm sure he does because most of the time he's talking out of his arse.

Our next foreign secretary, probably. God knows what he'll get us into with that stupid gob of his.
