Keir Starmer urged MPs to approach discussions around the recent supreme court ruling on gender with care and compassion. During PMQs, he was questioned multiple times by Kemi Badenoch regarding his stance on trans rights and the implications of the ruling, which determined that 'woman' in the Equality Act refers to biological women. Starmer affirmed his support for the ruling, highlighting its clarity and potential confidence boost for women, while emphasizing the need to respect trans individuals and criticizing the confrontational style of Badenoch's questioning.
I do think this is the time now to lower the temperature, to move forward and to conduct this debate with the care and compassion that it deserves.
Starmer said he welcomed the supreme court ruling, saying it brings clarity and it will give confidence to women.
