Does a woman have a penis? Of course not. Until recently, that basic biological fact was accepted by almost everyone. Perhaps it still is but, with the transgender thought police waiting in the wings, it is a truth that few politicians are willing to articulate.
After a leaked recording emerged – allegedly from a meeting of the 1922 Committee of Tory MPs – we can perhaps be clearer about Rishi Sunak’s views. Referring to Lib Dem leader, Ed Davey, the Prime Minister pointed out that, ‘You may have noticed Ed Davey has been very busy…trying to convince everybody that women clearly had penises’.
Sunak added:
‘You all know, I’m a big fan of everybody studying maths to 18. It turns out we need to focus on biology to 18 as well.’
The outrage from the alphabet people has already begun. Not just about what Sunak said, but the laughter from his audience. ‘His focus on genitalia and who has penises is borderline indecent,’ said Peter Tatchell.
