Chancellor: Biology MUST come first in trans debate

THE CHANCELLOR has said that biology must be the primary policy driver when it comes to laws around gender-neutral toilets and transgender women competing in sport.

Mr Sunak – who has previously avoided directly commenting on the issue – told a Mumsnet user that women’s rights and trans rights should both be respected, but stressed: ‘I’m of the view that biology is important – it’s fundamental, it’s critical to how we approach those type of questions.’

The Chancellor’s latest line appears to be more definitive than when he was questioned last month. Refusing to give his own definition of a woman, he deferred to Boris Johnson’s words in the Commons despite being questioned numerous times by Talk TV, saying: ‘I can’t put it as well as he did.’
