Does Keir Starmer know what he's supporting?
Here’s some of the people who tried to dismiss the story. There were so many, we had to have a part two!
I’ve been shouting about this problem for five years ever since a woman contacted me who was in a Facebook group with a 50+ victims of trans-identified men, and they’re not even the same victims from the BBC story!
Meanwhile, this is what happened to a lesbian leading the chants at a rally protesting violence against women and girls. (Full story coming soon).
Just the latest in a series of attacks on women around International Women’s Day. There were similar incidents in Barcelona, Paris, Brussels, Istanbul and Inkara. Time and time again, trans rights activists attacking women.
Does Keir Starmer have any idea what he’s supporting?
Does he think women will forget this?
This seems to be such an important matter to Sir Keri Stammer that he’s willing to seriously damage his integrity and honesty over it, and for what?
Yesterday he stated that “trans women are women… that is actually the law”, when in actual fact it’s not.
The correct legal position is that a biological man with a gender recognition certificate, issued pursuant to the Gender Recognition Act 2004, is legally recognised as woman in English law. This is explained at paragraph 4 of the Summary and Background to the 2004 Act (which is freely available at the government’s “Legislation” website), which states that where a gender recognition certificate is issued the “legal recognition will have the effect that, for example, a male-to-female transsexual person will be legally recognised as a woman in English law. On the issue of a full gender recognition certificate, the person will be entitled to a new birth certificate reflecting the acquired gender (provided a UK birth register entry already exists for the person) and will be able to marry someone of the opposite gender to his or her acquired gender.” Even then though there are some exceptions/exclusions.
A gender recognition certificate, rightly in my opinion, is not easy to obtain (a Gender Recognition Panel has to be satisfied that an applicant (i) has, or has had, gender dysphoria; (ii) has lived in the acquired gender throughout the preceding two years; and (iii) intends to continue to live in the acquired gender until death) and so man simply declaring himself to be a trans woman, contrary to what Sir Keir claims, is not legally a woman.
Of course, legally declaring a trans woman to be a woman doesn’t alter biological reality and is merely a legal fiction. Moreover, given that the 2004 Act was expressly brought into law, as also explained in the Summary and Background, so that transexuals could marry someone of the same biological sex at a time when same-sex marriage was illegal, it is a legal fiction that is no longer required now that same-sex marriage is lawful.
At the local elections in May you can spoil your ballot paper. Put one of Posie Parker's "Adult Human Female" stickers on it and, if you like, add: "none of candidates are facing reality: No one can change sex". Returning officer has to produce a report on the number of spoiled ballots and details of WHY they were spoiled. This is the only way, it seems, to get through to the Labour numbskulls.
