Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe that transgender women are women, said his official spokesman.
In March 2022, when he was the opposition leader, Sir Keir told The Times that “a woman is an adult woman, and in addition to those trans women are women, and that is not just my opinion, that is currently the law.”
Last week, the United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under the equal law.
When asked if Sir Keir still believed that a transgender woman was a woman, the official Prime Minister said: “No, the sentence of the Supreme Court has done so that when observing the Equality Law, a woman is a biological woman.”
The spokesman added: “That is clearly established by the court.”
The failure also makes it clear that a person who was born male but who identifies as a woman has no right to use spaces or services designated as only for women.
In 2023, Sir Keir told the Sunday Times that for “99.9%of women”, of course, they do not have a penis. ”
Later that year he told BBC Radio 5 Live “A woman is an adult woman.”
In April 2024, he said that Rosie Duffield, the former Labor Deputy, was right when saying “only women have a cervix,” they have ITV: “Biological, of course, he is right about that.”
