Ngl the fact that Starmer followed up that offer of a meeting with Rowling (so that he could offer her “assurances”) by saying that we “shouldn’t have the right” to use women’s toilets was fucking crushing.
I never had particularly high hopes for the guy, but that was a punch to the gut.
We do have the right, it's enshrined in law, and he fucking knows that.
He'll also be aware that the ludicrous noise about "redefining sex" won't work in legislative or practical terms.
So, in a sense, his personal view is irrelevant.
I guess I should have known back in 2020 when he refused to sign those trans pledges. He was only my second-preference vote, but I’ll cop to being overly optimistic about his intentions.
It was worse that he didn't publicly decline to meet internationally recognised hate groups at the behest of she that must not be named.
& Of course his appointments of health and education ministers does not bode well.
