What is a Woman according to Richard Burgon

"[Laura Pidcock] is not transphobic. She can answer herself on her views and her opinions. To be clear, trans rights are human rights. I hope that the day is coming where people realise how ridiculous it is that we have to keep asserting that. The discrimination suffered by trans people is heart-breaking. After I became an MP, I met with an organisation called Mermaids who explained this discrimination to me. I think of course we don’t want people who are bigoted transphobes in the Labour Party. It’s contrary to our party’s values."

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

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