J K Rowling has nailed it - re Starmer and the trans issue

Starmer is first and last a lawyer.

He follows the rule of law.

What he actually thinks - is his private opinion.

My opinion is that the Judge was right when he advised that this should not be looked at as a victory for anyone, and I am concerned that whilst there has been a settlement of a definition of a woman, it has not addressed the issue of a minority, who identify entirely with the opposite sex into which they were born.

In fact I think this judgement is only part of the answer to the entire issue.

Sharron Davis too has had vile abuse on her stand for what is a biological woman.
BBC News showed clips of Starmer 3 years ago insisting that trans women were women. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled otherwise he has changed his views.

Kemi Badenoch made the sort of statement I would have expected our PM to make on the ruling.

So many politicians have been mealy mouthed on the subject of sex and gender.

Yes - for a good 20 years or so. As have many organisations outside the direct political arena.
We have 2 threads on this already and these sentiments expressed on both.

This is just another thread focusing on Starmer bashing with no context - for the sake of it as per the right wing press - why not join the already existing discussions Witzend

JK Rowling, don’t suppose you’re reading this, but if you are, well done you, you’re a heroine for women’s rights so a big thank you.😃

I thought he has always been cowardly on this issue.Others may say he was wise to keep in with the trans activists for their votes🤬
Looking back it was a sort of collective madness that gave support to these angry, entitled misogynists that call themselves activists and I am so glad they have now been put back in their box.

Sounds typical of the man.
