Keir Starmer backs ban on transgender athletes in female competition: ‘Common sense has to prevail’
www.telegraph.co.uk
Labour leader says he supports governing bodies’ actions to ban transgender women having previously refused to take a position on the issue

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.

      I wonder if those additional sit-ups on average can be attributed to trans men being much shorter than cis-men on average. They can probably do more pushups as well because of that same attribute.
