On her summer holiday

On and on and on it goes, never getting any closer to making sense.

The Labour MP behind a campaign for a “summer of sex” has criticised tougher guidance for trans people from her sun lounger.

In a video recorded on her summer holiday, Samantha Niblett said she was “unbelievably ashamed” of new rules on single-sex spaces, which force transgender people to use lavatories corresponding to their biological sex.

So she’s ashamed of rules that tell men to stay out of women’s toilets, as opposed to being ashamed of rules that tell men to go right ahead and barge into women’s toilets despite the fact that women won’t like it.

And she’s an MP.

A revised code of practice from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) came into force on Wednesday, a year and a half after the Supreme Court ruled that sex in the law referred to biological sex, not gender identity.

A year and a half after. Because women are such a pointless nuisance that it’s really not necessary to enforce rules that protect them.

Dozens of Labour MPs objected to the new guidance. Among them was Ms Niblett, who told her Instagram followers on Wednesday: “Today is also Aug 5, which is a s— day. It’s a s— day because today is the day that the ‘guidance’, which is as clear as mud, comes in… All it does is dismiss the lived experience of trans people and protects nobody. This new guidance protects nobody.”

Well, nobody except women, so yeah, that’s nobody.

“All it does is cause more division and hatred towards trans people that just want to have their life, like minding their own business”

Wait wait wait. They don’t “just want to have their life, like minding their own business” – that’s the opposite of what they want. They want to have women’s lives, and they want women to shut up and go away. Minding their own business is absolutely the last thing they want.

Ms Niblett was one of more than 90 Labour MPs who signed a parliamentary motion in June that called on the Government to reject the draft EHRC code of practice.

Elected to the Commons at the 2024 general election, she remained in relative obscurity until this April, when she launched a campaign to make 2026 the “summer of sex”. She said that she hoped to set up a sex-toy exhibition in Parliament as part of her efforts, and was planning to chair a Westminster Hall debate on sex education this autumn.

Yes well she’s clearly the expert, not knowing what women are and all.

Ms Niblett’s remarks on the trans guidance were denounced by Tonia Antoniazzi, a fellow Labour backbencher and one of the party’s few MPs to have openly criticised gender ideology.

In a reply on X, Ms Antoniazzi told Ms Niblett: “Have a good break, MPs deserve it. Today, we have clarification, not more confusion. Women and girls need protection from men.

“Stop using trans people as an argument for your pro-sex work, pro-porn agenda.”

Well where’s the fun in that?
