Keir Starmer no longer believes trans women are women
The Times (UK) ^ | April 22 2025, | Chris Smyth, Geraldine Scott, George Grylls

Sir Keir Starmer no longer believes trans women are women, his spokesman has confirmed after the Supreme Court’s ruling on biological sex.

Starmer told The Times in 2022: “A woman is a female adult, and in addition to that trans women are women, and that is not just my view — that is actually the law.”

However, making his first comments on the Supreme Court judgment, the prime minister welcomed the “clarity” it brought. When asked if Starmer thought a trans woman was a woman, the prime minister’s official spokesman said: “No.”

Starmer said he was “really pleased” with the legal ruling, which stated that for the purposes of the Equality Act the definition of a woman was based on biological sex.

Good, I guess. But it shows the man has no real opinions just a party line.

Like Obama, he’s “evolved” to whatever is the best political position.

Given the current political winds in England I'd say his Muslim overlords told him to knock it off.

Guy(?) is a true dope. He needed the UK supreme court to inform him. What a dufus. Hope the supreme court enlightens him(?) as to what a “s**thead” suckup is.

Exactly. He needed a supreme court decision to acknowledge a truth that everyone has known since Adam & Eve. What a knob.

The Left always disavows all responsibility. Children are mutilated, and then, “What, us? We never said anything.” It’s the plandemic mandates all over, again.

Keir Starmer is an unreformed marxist.

Let’s bring up the fact that one of our supreme court “ignorant sl*ts” claimes that she doesn’t know what a woman is. And she has a law degree. DEI anyone? Now, we know she’s lying through her Obamahole just to keep up the Democrat sham. And she’s a judge. Yup, she’s a “here come da judge” judge. No sane being will respect a “judgement” coming from this sham of a lawyer.

Sir Keir Starmer no longer believes trans women are women,“

So a month ago he did. A truth that is so fundamental that a decision by a court can change his beliefs

Starmer had to wait for the court to tell him what a woman is. Biology doesn’t count, but the court does?

Such ‘leaders’ should be banned from making decisions that affect other people.

Note that until a few years ago Britain did not have this supreme court. It was created as a tool to overturn local, pro-English rulings.
But, it bit back.

Although a Supreme Court with that name has only existed since 2009, there has always been a court of final appeal with broadly similar functions. It used to be known as the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords (or just 'The House of Lords' for short). That was often the subject of constitutional muddles deriving from its silly name, since in practice it was quite separate from the Upper House of Parliament, also the 'House of Lords'.

Like Obama, he’s “evolved” to whatever is the best political position.

The pendulum is swinging, with a large shove by Trump (and a few other conservative populist leaders around the world). And this pendulum isn't a toy, but like the fearsome version in Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum". For Starmer and his ilk, it's evolve or die. Hopefully the blade continues to swing, and the French Army never arrives.
