Just four of Labour's 59 LGBTQ+ MPs confirm they believe trans women are women
"Keir Starmer's statement that he does not believe trans women are women contradicts Labour's historical pro-LGBTQ+ stance, raising concerns within the party."
"Only four out of 59 LGBTQ+ Labour MPs responded affirmatively on the issue of trans identity, indicating a divide within the party."
After Keir Starmer stated that he does not believe trans women are women, this effectively challenges Labour's historical support for LGBTQ+ rights. Following a Supreme Court ruling emphasizing the legal definition for women as 'biological women,' concerns arose about the party's commitment to trans rights. PinkNews queried 59 out LGBTQ+ Labour MPs on their beliefs regarding trans identity; only four responded affirmatively, reinforcing worries about a growing divide within the party on these issues. MP Olivia Blake insisted that her views remain supportive of trans rights.
