Keir Starmer shamed by Rosie Duffield who calls for apology in gender row | Politics | News | EUROtoday

A Labour supply stated following the ruling that Sir Keir, who beforehand stated girls might have a penis, “hauled the Labour party back to the common sense position”.

Ms Duffield stated: “We’ve already heard the Labour Party sort of trying to backtrack and pretend that they were always on board, which is obviously not the case.

“I hope all politicians perceive that the regulation needs to be caught to right here.”

Asked whether or not she thought there may be a broader change in the best way the get together approaches problems with gender following the ruling, Ms Duffield stated: “Possibly, I mean I’d like to think so.

“Certainly, women like me and all of the gender-critical so-called feminists who have been very silent, very quiet in Labour and haven’t supported me, perhaps they’ll feel braver now about speaking up.

“I’m starting an all-party parliamentary group on women’s rights with the Women’s Rights Network, and perhaps people should pressure their Labour MP to join that now.”

In 2020, Ms Duffield stated on Twitter that “only women have a cervix”, one thing Sir Keir later stated was “not right”.

In 2023, Ms Duffield wrote a chunk for the UnHerd web site accusing the get together of believing the “transgender debate is nothing more than a culture war issue”, and claiming that her therapy by Labour reminded her of a former abusive relationship.

“When I come home at night, I feel low-level trauma at my political isolation,” she wrote.

Sir Keir stated he wished to see “respect and tolerance” in response to her feedback.

The Prime Minister was requested repeatedly about his place on the matter in opposition.

In 2023, Sir Keir advised The Sunday Times that for “99.9%” of girls “of course they haven’t got a penis” however later that yr he advised BBC Radio 5 Live: “Firstly, a woman is an adult female, so let’s clear that one up.”

In April 2024, he said Ms Duffield was right to say “only women have a cervix”.

He advised ITV: “Biologically, she of course is right about that.”
