Keir Starmer finally works out what ‘a woman’ is and reveals Labour has ditched controversial gender policies
SIR Keir Starmer appeared to have finally worked out what a woman is after years of todger dodging.
The Labour chief insisted a woman is an “adult female” and dodged a fresh row over transgender people.
It came as he confirms the party has binned controversial policies to make it easier to change gender – risking a fresh row with Scottish Labour chief Anas Sarwar.
The BBC’s Nicky Campbell grilled him on Five Live, saying: “You struggle with the penis question, don’t you?”
But Sir Keir hit back: “a woman is an adult female, let’s clear that one up.”
However – he wasn’t asked whether he thought a woman could have a penis – something which he said previously was the case for one in a thousand people.
It comes after weeks of trying to dodge the toxic trans issue to avoid offending lefties within his party.
But he promised to protect women-only spaces which campaigners have long demanded.
And he confirmed the party’s formal u-turn on self-ID, dropping plans to make it easier to change gender without a doctor.
He said: “We don’t agree with that, we don’t think self-ID is the right way forward.
“We have reflected on what happened in Scotland… but we want to modernise the process, keep it a medical process.”
Ex-SNP chief Nicola Sturgeon faced a furious backlash for pushing ahead with plans to make it easier for people to change gender at 16 – and without a doctor’s note.
Rishi Sunak blocked the proposals amid fears it would create a two-tiered system in the UK and may put women-only spaces at risk.
