Hilary Benn

What is a Woman according to Hilary Benn

"This is summed up by the question 'is a trans woman a woman'? The answer, of course, is that a trans woman feels herself to be female and wishes to be regarded as such by society, and I support her right on both counts. However, that does not mean of course that she is physically a woman in exactly the same way as someone who was born biologically female is. This should not really be controversial, but I recognise that those on both sides of the debate hold diametrically opposing and passionate views."

What we must do is to not allow a very small percentage of the population to allow us to be distracted, to take away from women's rights.

Mike Kane

Labour MP Wythenshawe and Sale East

It's completely unfair that biological males who've passed puberty should be involved in any aspect of women's sport.
