The absolutely infuriating thing is that trans people, if they are being honest KNOW that they have do not have a cervix. They know the reality of the parts they were born with. There are women who might not know what a cervix is ( those with learning difficulties, those who use English as a second language). The NHS is putting the feelings of men above disadvantaged women.

Even the easy read formats of of the latest cervical cancer info will not contain the word woman.

Mark Drakeford makes it clear how uninterested he is in dialogue in his first statement, that "trans women are women". If that's the case, then as far as he's concerned they can be excluded from nothing, whether it's women's sports or women's spaces. It doesn't matter how many assurances are offered that wanting fairness for women does not imply a desire to deny the rights of trans people. Even so, I am thoroughly sick of hearing this one sided reassurance.

Drakeford, like so many of his political colleagues, is either a gutless fuck or a misogynist. Either way, he is not fit to influence decisions or represent anyone.
