UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Says 100% Of Women Do Not Have A Penis1 min read
Rishi Sunak has said he believes that 100 per cent of women do not have penises.
The prime minister has put himself at odds with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer by declaring that 100 per cent of women do not have male genitals.
By contrast, Mr Starmer earlier this month suggested that as many as one in a thousand women have penises.
Asked whether 100 per cent of women do not have penises in an interview with Tory-supporting website Conservative Home, Mr Sunak said: “Yes, of course.”
He added: “We should always have compassion and understanding and tolerance for those who are thinking about changing their gender. Of course, we should.
“But when it comes to these issues of protecting women’s rights, women’s spaces, I think the issue of biological sex is fundamentally important when we think about those questions.
“As a general operating principle for me, biological sex is vitally fundamentally important in these questions. We can’t forget that.”
When Mr Starmer was asked by The Sunday Times whether women can have male genitals, he said: “For 99.9 per cent of women, it is completely biological … and of course, they haven’t got a penis.”
Mr Sunak is hoping to exploit Labour’s division over transgender rights in the run-up to a general election, which is expected next year. He is pressing ahead with a pledge made during last year’s Conservative party leadership election to reform the legal definition of sex.
