Squirming on the spot
Oh ffs.
And Sir Keir whines and gesticulates and flails like an idiot. He finally manages to utter the complete sentence “I don’t think discussing the issue in this way helps anyone.”
It helps women you fucking fool. This exciting new fad for pretending men can become women by saying so is bad for women, and men in power brushing that off is also bad for women. It does help us to keep reminding men in power like you that letting men pretend to be women and invade our spaces and take over our sports and win our prizes is bad for us.
I am begging Starmer (and the rest of his party) to sit down and work out some actual straight answers to gender questions. Interviewers love making politicians squirm, so they will keep asking it until he accepts that whatever answer he gives will upset half the party, and come up with something, ANYTHING to say. At this point I’d honestly rather he went full Sturgeon instead of this ridiculous stutterwaffle routine – it’s like showing up to job interviews without a prepped answer for the “what is your greatest weakness” question.
Shit or get off the pot, Keir.
I love that his final words are “… I like open discussion.”
A discussion shouldn’t be so open that your concepts fall out.
You can see the wheels going round in his head. If he says what he’s “supposed” to say, “Yes, a women can have penis,” he pisses off women and looks like an idiot . If he says “No, a woman can’t have a penis,” then the wokesters will burn him at the stake. He just wants the question to go away. “Womanhood” is a wave and a particle. He is afraid to collapse the wave function by looking in the box, by answering the question. He hopes that by not giving a “Yes” or “No” answer, he can keep both options open, so he brands anyone asking ithe question as “intolerant.” But only one side of the trans “rights” issue needs clarification on whether or not someone believes that a woman can have a penis, because some people (like Starmer here) seem to believe that they can. So by shifting the blame to the questioner, he think’s he’s gotten off the hook, but what he really has is a dead cat.
Starmer’s branding of people asking the question is more than just a cowardly deflection, it is also a warning to Labour women to stop asking the question. Forcing him to answer the question makes him look bad, and doing that is unforgiveably disloyal. To him. Never mind any obligation on Starmer’s part to stand by women.
“…but I’m also an advocate for safe spaces for women.”
Cool. Who are they then?
