What a betrayal, when the leader of the left party himself (Keir Starmer) is confused about the extent of inclusion, or wavers on what constitutes womanhood. And then proclaiming that trans issues are unimportant to the general population. Even a progressive politician in the US would vaingloriously hurl and impale themselves on a sharp pike for a T+ cause. And they're bogus left-wingers, to boot (exploitive capitalists in southpaw drag).

INTRO: Sir Keir Starmer today refused to clarify his suggestion that 1 in 1,000 women have a penis as he strived to set out a 'common sense' position on trans rights. The Labour leader has sparked fresh confusion over his stance on gender identity by stating that 99.9 per cent of women 'of course haven't got a penis'.

It came after Sir Keir had last year been reluctant to say whether a woman can have male genitals and previously said it was 'not right' to say only women have a cervix.

Speaking to LBC radio this morning, the Labour leader stressed he was not trying to 'make a particular statistical point' with his latest attempt to set out his position.

RELEASE: When Sunak was pressed about whether he believed the figure was genuinely 100%, he responded with a laugh, "Yeah, of course."

Britain Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he believes that “100 per cent of women do not have penises”. The Conservative leader made the remark amid a controversy over transgender issues and put himself at odds with Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer, who earlier suggested that as many as “one in a thousand women have penises”.

According to The Independent, in an interview Sunak was asked about his thoughts on Labour Party chief Stramer's recent statement claiming "99.9 per cent of women of course do not have penises".

AWhen Sunak was pressed about whether he believed the figure was genuinely 100%, he responded with a laugh, "Yeah, of course."

"We should always have compassion and understanding and tolerance for those who are thinking about changing their gender. Of course, we should," he said.

"But when it comes to these issues of protecting women's rights, women's spaces, I think the issue of biological sex is fundamentally important when we think about those questions," he added.

Sunak's remarks come against the backdrop of Britain debating gender laws. The British government is considering plans to create a distinction in equality laws between a person who was born a particular sex and someone who has undergone a sex change.
