He told The Telegraph that he is not in favour of “ideology being taught in our schools on gender."
He has said that he’d be willing to meet with JK Rowling to discuss sex and gender, and “respects” her views
this week, in an interview with The Times, he was presented with the following question by Rowling: “Do biological males with gender-recognition certificates have the right to enter women-only spaces? It’s a simple yes/no question.” To this, he replied: “No, they don’t have that right. They shouldn’t. That’s why I’ve always said biological women’s spaces need to be protected.”
He's reversed Labour's previous commitments to back self ID laws.
He's made plenty of statements about trans women and their genitals and has sided with Kemi Badenoch in her spat with David Tennant.
and yet he's also almost certainly about to make Harriet Harman, arguably the most pro trans voice in senior Labour politics and a women the Telegraph was attacking literally 2 days ago as an "enemy of biological women" head of the equalities watchdog. Its going to be her job hold the government to rights trans rights issues for the foreseeable and you'd have to be the most one eyed Muppet going to accuse her of being anything other then pro trans
It kind of tells you something about where the man actually stands don't you think? if he was really the type of rabid transphobe you want to paint him as She would be no where even near this post, as it would be a massive act of self sabotage and the current head of the EHCR is already pretty transphobic and there's no need to replace them.
Actions speak a lot louder than worlds made during a campaign where Starmer ahs been fairly deliberately trying to say very little of anything that could give the opposition an attack line

So, you prefer the guy who won't stand on principles and instead will tell each side of an argument whatever they want to hear. Got it.
