ruling? He has not. Are we surprised? We are not.
Trans people have not lost a single right in this country. What they don’t have — and never had, despite the claims of activists — is a right to be treated as biological women. The hysterical response to the judgment is a cry of pure fury, an echo of every time an entitled man has heard the word “no”. And that makes it an exceedingly dangerous moment for women.
As a former prosecutor, Starmer should know this perfectly well. The most dangerous moment in a woman’s life is when she stands up to an abusive man. Trans activists have nowhere to go except the streets, and some of them appear to be itching for a confrontation; it is clear that someone could get seriously hurt. The Prime Minister has, in the past, been quick to denounce public disorder, but the sight of women being shouted at by thugs with trans flags appears not to move him at all.
Refusing to speak is taking sides. Starmer has tolerated and enabled misogyny in the Labour party for far too long. His silence is no longer tenable.
You'd think it would be a good opportunity for Starmer to extract himself from the gender mess he got himself into and show some leadership…but no. The sound of silence.
