Over the last week, talkRADIO’s Julia Hartley-Brewer and fellow presenters have been asking politicians and commentators their thoughts on the Trans debate at PMQs as well as the controversy surrounding Lia Thomas who became the first transgender woman to win an NCAA swimming championship.
Boris Johnson has spoken on the trans debate at PMQs and said: “When it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, the basic facts of biology remain overwhelmingly important.”
Julia Hartley-Brewer challenged the Chancellor to define what a woman is?
Rishi Sunak: “The PM answered this perfectly, I agree with him.”
Trans activist Debbie Hayton says trans swimmer Lia Thomas “should not be competing with women.”
That victory has sparked an outcry from Thomas’s rivals and escalated the conversation around the future risks to the female category in sport, with World Athletics president Sebastian Coe concerned that women’s sport is in a ‘very fragile’ place.
