Sir Keir Starmer has vowed that Labour's support for transgender people won't override women's rights, as he called for an end to the 'toxic divide' over trans issues.

Sir Keir insisted that should he win the keys to Number 10 at the next election, there would be “no rolling back” of women’s rights.

He added: “There are some people who identify as a different gender to the one they are born with. It’s a very small number, and that is why the Gender Recognition Act was passed [in 2004]. "But simply turning it into a toxic divide advances the cause of no one – the cause of women or those that don’t identify with the gender that they were born into.

Equality means equal. The human rights to.

Starmer was very keen on equality in the past when did that change?

Why are we even talking about transgender rights. Set the criteria in stone of what qualifies a man to become a woman, ie full gender reassignment, testosterone below a pre determined level etc then rigorously enforce it.

Until the absolute nonsense of saying trans women ARE women is over, the divide will exist. Males pretending to be females doesn’t make them women. And it doesn’t infringe on anyone’s rights by saying that.

Hopefully the new tory law to imprisson those who dont report child sex abuse will entend to the encouragement of trans ideology which is akin to sex abuse and grooming. BBC News - Child sex abuse: Failure to report crimes to be made illegal

Surely woman's rights mens right and trans rights should just fall under human rights one rule that governs them all we should not be fighting each other that's what the Tories want and so does starmer since he is working for the same people as the Tories

I support trans rights, but it's easy to say that as a male. How do women feel about trans (dare use pronoun) entering their lavatories/bathroom facilities? Or competing with trans males whereby a female athlete would be disqualified for taking testosterone enhancers?

Scrap the whole idea completely

You can’t square the circle. These people are demanding they belong to a group that doesn’t regard them as part of the group and with them not objectively being of that group you can’t blame them.

Gender ideology asks you to disbelieve your eyes, ignore your discomfort, reframe your trauma, interrogate your sexual orientation, fight your instincts, and remove your boundaries. This is not a civil rights movement: it's an abuser's wildest dream'. Unknown

Populist. Only now comes out against the agenda as the public showed their contempt. Too late.

Facts

Let’s see… in practice

No such thing as gender. Literally a made of cult like religion Yet you give these people so much time and so many ‘rights’.

This translates as nothing more than, 'Which group should I pander to, to get more votes from?'. The other translation is, 'I don't care anything about either of you to be honest, but I will abandon the smaller group in the hope I may appeal to the larger group.'.

Good luck squaring that circle. What's a woman, sir Keir?

I've voted Labour all my life. Not until they take a firm position on this nonsense will I do so again.

Yeah right 🙄

He should help end the toxic divide by apologising to Duffield.

April fools?

Only it won't end. The gutter press will keep writing rubbish and important matters will be ignored, as usual. We keep playing the same game.

Almost as nuts as when he said ' wrong to say only women can have a cervix' really lost a lot of respect for him at that point

He doesn't even know what a woman is, just like the pronoun plebs

Good, it's about time he said this.

Peddled by foreign change agents

Because of a minority, soon the word like WOMAN will disappear from people's vocabulary. The fact that the English language does not have a neuter, as in other languages, does not mean that it should be imposed on other countries as well. I'm sick of this gendering.

But he refuses to support men, WOW

WEFpuppet Can't be trusted. Un-voteable.

Starmer for the win… bring back the centre party.

We believe him and he’s not going to try and take us back into Europe and he didn’t bonk AngelaRayner on curry night in Durham

He will soon change his tune when he wins the election

With all sincerity, nobody believes Starmer at all when he comes out with such codswallop like this. He openly stated on the record that he wants to introduce South ID that he is fully in favour of transgender agenda, this is a man who changes his stance is with the wind

This clown makes it up as he goes along to try and please everyone. Worse than the tories

So flip flop Keir is actually standing where ?

Errr LBC, liking the neo-fascist under establishment control situation yet?

How Thatcher of him...

What rights?

Cis women love trans women. We are sister. Starmer is wrong on this and he will one day have to account for it.

That's clear then! 🙄 I'm begining to think he should change his name to The Riddler!

He can't define what a woman is

i.e. Starmer regurgitates far right culture war bs

Oh Mr FlipFlop strikes again with yet another U turn

That'll be him shittin it

Good luck with that one. Brexit was less contentious.

😂

Nope. You support that deranged movement you lose a shit tonne of voters. Society is starting to see their twisted and warped message and no longer want to support a child grooming fetish. A disease which prioritises men playing make believe over over an actual woman. Disgusting
