What is a Woman according to Joanna Cherry

There is, in fact, nothing “transphobic’ about defining what a woman is. The Equality Act, passed by a Labour Government and supported by the SNP, defines a woman as a female of any age.. Is that transphobic? In 2014 the Scottish Government proposed to enshrine the protected characteristic of sex in an independent Scotland’s interim constitution. Was that transphobic? Is biology transphobic? When you put it this way you really see how ludicrous what passes for the debate on this issue has become.

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.
