Angela Rayner says it ‘doesn’t matter’ that trans double rapist Isla Bryson has penis
ANGELA Rayner says it “doesn’t matter” that trans double rapist Isla Bryson has a penis.
Labour’s deputy leader was grilled on whether Bryson should have been put in a women’s prison.
Asked if the Scottish sex attacker was a woman when they raped two women, she sparked anger by saying: “Well, I don’t know.
“Because I don’t know what’s inside that person’s head.”
She told The Sunday Times: “That person’s identifying as a woman now.”
Asked if the phrase “her penis” made sense, Ms Rayner, 42, replied “I think . . . to be honest, I don’t think that particularly matters.
“I think people just want to see the human side of being compassionate for people, but also seek that reassurance around safe spaces.
“I don’t think those two things are incompatible.”
She also said “it doesn’t matter whether it was a penis or some implementation” used in the crimes.
Tory MP Nickie Aiken said the comments rendered Rayner unfit for high office.
She said: “It’s staggering that someone who wants to be Deputy PM is unable to answer a question that any primary school child could standing on their head.
“Even though it’s amusing on the surface, it would be dangerous if these people ever got into power.”
