Disagreements surrounding the definition of a woman have been plaguing politicians in recent times with the Labour Party giving muddled nondescript answers and MSP Green Minister Lorna Slater enraging feminists by comparing them to antisemites and racists for voicing their concerns over women’s rights.

Sir Keir Starmer gave poor responses to Nick Ferrari on LBC Radio who asked if “a woman can have a penis” by stating: “I’m not…I don’t think we can conduct this debate with…I don’t think that discussing this issue in this way helps anyone in the long run.”

The Prime Minister highlighted the sensitivity of the issue and the need for respect for transgender people but stated: “When it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, the basic facts of biology remain overwhelmingly important.”

On Tuesday, the leader of the opposition altered his response, most likely due to backlash saying: “I think for 99.9 percent of women biology matters and of course that is what defines them…it is plain common sense, and I don’t quarrel with that, but I don’t want to leave out of account the smaller group of people who really do struggle with their gender identity.”

Women’s Rights Network founder Heather Binning spoke to Express.co.uk about the ‘Respect my Sex if you want my X’ campaign launched by Women Uniting, Sex Matters, and Women's Rights Network, to demand answers from politicians on their views on protecting women’s sex-based rights.

The campaign is working to empower women who have been “vilified for speaking the truth” and called Trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERF’s) for attempting to protect women’s spaces and other sex-based rights.

On the insults that have been thrown at feminists, Ms Binning credited the successful tactics employed “to demonise” feminists and added that they are defending the “status quo [which is] is not perfect by any means, but we are … and so the incomer, the new radical thing, is this ideology so how does this ideology take root?”
