One of the very few trans voices that are opposed to the cult of transgenderism is Debbie Hayton. This individual is thoughtful, accepts that they are not a biological woman but instead a man with a mental condition that could only be alleviated by transition.

Debbie Hayton has written a great piece about the pernicious influence of trans activists on the Labour Party. The author has noticed, as many members of the public have also noticed, that Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is likely, if it becomes the government, to follow similar self-ID policies as have been promoted in Scotland and Wales. Sir Keir has in Debbie Hayton’s words ‘sold his soul’ to trans rights activists.

According to the author, Sir Keir is being advised that going along with the Trans Rights Activists puts him at considerable odds with public opinion. If what Ms Hayton is saying is correct, then I’d say that Sir Keir’s advisors are correct in trying to get the leader to distance himself from the whole cult of trans. If he doesn’t then the current mockery that he gets over his refusal during a TV interview to say that only women have a cervix, will increase and could overshadow everything else Sir Keir might want to say to the electorate.

I agree with Debbie Hayton over the issue of a need for the Labour leadership to step back from their knee jerk support for trans activists. Maybe the author is correct in saying this with regards what Sir Keir needs to do:

Debbie Hayton said:

The Daily Telegraph indicated that individuals within the party worry that “in trying to do good for a very small minority group, you inadvertently offend an awful lot of women.” But this is not about balancing needs: it is about doing the right thing. Good policy should be good policy for all, but self-ID is bad policy all round. Women are right to protest the impact on their sex-based rights. Meanwhile, I worry that it has had a deleterious impact on the trust and confidence that transsexuals used to take for granted.

The activist lobby is unlikely to give way easily, and no doubt there will be howls and shrieks, but this is a crisis for Labour. Is it the party of working people, or a vehicle for ludicrous ideas? Starmer needs to choose. In 1985, his predecessor Neil Kinnock faced down the Militant Tendency; if Starmer wants to be taken seriously by the electorate, he needs to find the courage and resolve to follow Kinnock’s example.

Yes indeed. It’s time for Labour to treat the ‘loony troons’ with the same seriousness as Kinnock treated Militant and curb their worryingly strong influence.
