Starmer had previously refused to state whether trans women like Lia Thomas should be allowed to compete in women’s sport amid accusations from Harry Potter author JK Rowling that his party could “no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights”.

Ah, so this is what the Labour party is designed to do: make billionaire feel better about imaginary threats from minority groups.

    No sport is fair. Literally NO sport is fair.

    People under six feet can’t play in the NFL. Is it fair? No. It’s sports.

    There have been cis-gendered women (usually black) who have been disqualified on suspicion of being transgender because their bodies naturally produce high levels of testosterone. Should black women be banned from sports to make competitions more “fair” for white women? Should they do a DNA test before every race and apply handicaps based on individual genes? Sports are not fair. Never have been.
