Xy chomosomes = male
XX chromosomes = female

what I learned in school, I don;t think genetics has mutated where there are any other chromosome mixes so I'll stick with what i know to be true. What you identify as is not science it is a choice, go for it not my business.

Too late the law is the law and a good one too

I guess Starmer has changed his tune on what a woman is.


"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe transgender women are women, his official spokesman has said.

It comes after the UK Supreme Court ruled last week that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.

In March 2022, when he was leader of the opposition, Sir Keir told the Times that "a woman is a female adult, and in addition to that transwomen are women, and that is not just my view - that is actually the law".

Asked if Sir Keir still believed that a transgender woman was a woman, the PM's official spokesman said: "No, the Supreme Court judgment has made clear that when looking at the Equality Act, a woman is a biological woman.""
