Conservative culture warriors have stumbled across the perfect question to ask left-wing politicians: Can a woman have a penis? If they say ‘No’, that’s guaranteed to get them into hot water with their woke activist base, but if they say ‘Yes’ that’s guaranteed to antagonise vast swathes of the electorate, including most women. The career-destroying effectiveness of this killer question was demonstrated by Nick Ferrari when Labour leader Keir Starmer appeared on his show for his regular phone-in slot. MailOnline has more.
Starmer, appearing LBC radio for his regular phone-in, was asked about trans athletes and the success of Lia Thomas, a trans woman who won the 500-yard freestyle title at the women’s NCAA championships.
The victory has sparked a debate around trans athletes taking part in competitive sport, with critics claiming they may have an advantage over other participants.
But Starmer said it is for ‘sporting bodies to decide for themselves’ who can and cannot be included in events.
Asked if a woman can have a penis, Starmer said: “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.”

It’s because he probably doesn’t have any Balls!
They should have asked his wife. She’s got a prick. She’s married to him.

Put Keir Starmer and Penis in the same sentence and the phrase “it takes one to know one comes to mind.”

How do people like kier, Brandon, bojo, Justin, jacinda reach the dizzying heights of political theatre? People vote for them. Then when they are in office, we cannot wait to get rid of them. Politics and politicians never seem to change. Although a few seem to think they will make a difference. In my brief time in the world, 71 years, I can name only one politician I respect.
Great. Now ask Boris.
How did Starmzy ever get the reputation of being ‘forensic’?
If anything, he’s less convincing than Corbyn was.
The best definition of a man and a woman was that offered by Heather Heying on a recent Dark Horse livestream: If you have or have ever had the ability to produce motile gametes (sperm) you’re a man; if you have or have ever had the ability to produce sessile gametes (eggs) you’re a woman. End of. Thank you Heather, evolutionary biologist extraordinaire.
All politicians when asked about issues like this, come out with the standard ‘we need a debate about this,’ and as soon as you try to debate it, they just say the same thing – ‘we need to debate this.’ They never actually get round to debating it!
are you saying the political classes are just Mass debaters?
This is a problem for me. With this leading to to no viable opposition to the current Gov, they can do whatever they like pretty much.
So bye bye freedoms and free speech effectively.
If you can’t or won’t answer this simple question you are not the right person to run this country, or anything else for that matter.
A bit nitpicky but it’s not a question that has been ‘stumbled across’ – it’s obvious, rational and entirely in keeping with a conservative outlook.
Most of the women that Starmer has ever slept with have had a penis so perhaps he is genuinely confused?
He is a member of the ruling elite after all.
Just take Diane ‘Buffalo’ Abbott as an example, don’t try and tell me that she isn’t packing some hefty junk.
There does come a point when media prostitutes who ‘cancel’ those who express the views of the silent majority need to either resign, be sacked, or have their workplace ransacked and be physically removed from the workplace.
There does come a time when trans warriors who try to impose their minority views through cancel culture should be tacked more robustly.
Mr Young may demand peace and reasonableness on this site, but when that brings you cancellation, history tells you that more robust approaches become necessary.
The entire political elite must go. They are rotten to the core and their views are repugnant and reflect in no way those held by the many millions who toil across the land every day.
In the last few years this small group of people have destroyed our churches, broken apart our families, abused our children with depraved filth in schools, turned our constabularies into pro-regime Gestapo units, imprisoned dissidents who object, including journalists, sometimes without trial, wrecked our economy with their insane ecology policies, terminated our rights to freedom of speech and protest, murdered thousands of people including children with state-coerced cell therapies and now they stir up war with China and Russia in which we will be invited to die for them.
They number only in the low thousands. Think about that.
Labour leader 1940s: ex-infantry captain who fought at Gallipoli and created national health service.
Labour leader 2020s: lawyer who gets on his knees to worship a black drug-dealing crack addict and thinks women have penises.
Labour leader 2040s: Just imagine it.
Creating the NHS wasn’t a virtue. Atlee also extended rationing after World War Two and it lasted five years longer than in West Germany.
From a legal point of view, is it correct to say that it is for sporting bodies themselves to decide who can take part in events?
For example if a bloke claims to be a woman and applies to compete in a women’s competition, will the sporting body be safe under criminal and civil law if they tell him they’re rejecting his application on the grounds he is a man – even if he’s had all his state paperwork changed to say he’s female?
The only answer to all this is a total clear-out of the entire political elite. Nothing else can save Britain at this point.
400 illegal immigrants arriving on the southern beaches every day. Mostly women.
Slightly off topic, but I’ve noticed that GOV.UK is running a series of ads on the radio about “calling out” the abuse of women. The ads give examples “Telling her what she can and can not wear. Telling her where she can and can not go. Threatening her”. The Government’s lack of self-awareness is staggering.
The regime hates women more than the worst misogynist, which is why they use them as pawns like this simply to further erode society and create distrust between the sexes.
The world is speeding towards ww3 and objective reporting and presenting both sides of the story is as important as it can be! guess what DS is publishing? pathetic.
I’m genuinely sorry for you that you’re so terrified that you’re unable to focus on any other issue.
There’s been a lot of that going around, as I understand it.
I have noticed that Ukraine is dealt with rather sparingly at the DS but it might be that foreign policy stuff just gets much less interest form punters. They have a business to run, after all.
To be a successful politician you need to master the skill of speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
I recall Obama when he was candidate to the presidency being asked about abortion and in the same reply he said he was in favour of it and against it. It was something to marvel at.
It generally works because ultimately people decide whether they like someone or not and then hear what they want. The main thing is to be likeable.
Well, that’s Sir Keir done for, then.
Not before time.
I was making much the same observation about Jolyon Maugham QC, who’s never met a case that he couldn’t lose through sheer force of anti-personality.
We shall fight for your right to have babies brother..sorry, sister!
Symbolic of his struggle against reality…
Spookily prophetic. I wonder if today’s students would watch it and say “I don’t get the joke.”
Some females are born with genital deformities. Their existence should not be used to score cheap debating points.
The presence or absence of Y chromosomes will tell you whether a person of any age is male. Present means male, absent means female.
“Can a woman have testicles?” is a much better question than “Can a woman have a penis?” Testicles are where sperm are made. Women can’t make sperm. Similarly, men can’t make eggs or get pregnant. We can’t have ovaries or wombs. Anyone who makes sperm is male. Anyone who makes eggs or gets pregnant is female.
That IS gender. Gender is about generation.
Other better questions are “Can a man get pregnant?” (no) and “Is gender a choice?” (no).
Labour’s PR team will come up with something… It wouldn’t be pretty to watch the party fall to sub-10% because it can’t recognise that a 6ft bearded bloke with a full set of chopper and tads who suffers from the mental illness of gender dysphoria is in fact a woman because he says so.
Thank God for sanity. Yes. People can have all sorts of ideas about what “gender” represents and what is suitable for a gender with regard to behaviour, occupation, etc.
But a bloke who’d like to wear prettier clothes and make-up and be called Doreen (or a bloke who wants to win swimming races whichever way he can), is still a bloke.
There’s all kinds of men, and all kinds of women. Reasonable people have understood that for a long time.
Ah.. finally!
The Big Pharma – Big Tech industrial complex and its Deep State psychopathic minions want to inject us and our children with a weaponised artificial pathogen .. but now we can finally confront the big questions around existence.
And who to tackle them other than the ‘Telegram is an app for extremists’ bought-and-paid-for lamentable excuse of a public figure, ‘Sir’ Keir Starmer.
Maybe we should ask the MailOnline journalist the same question since they too see it fit to call a man a woman.
This bit from the film Personal Services came to mind…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eKO8eNwqa-M
What a great film that is!
“They’re called breasts and everybody has them”

“Starmer told the Guardian in December: “My dad was a toolmaker …“
He should know a bit about the subject matter.
Alas, his dad’s son is just a tool.
Woke law #1:
Mindless arguments always descend into semantic drivel.
I’m confident that Vladimir Putin would have given an unequivocal answer to such a question.
I seem to remember him making the extraordinarily controversial pronouncement recently that mothers are women and fathers are men. He gets my vote.
Well, he’d get it anyway, but the sentiment would be appreciated.
Yes I suppose he’s been taking lessons from Joe Biden in that respect.
Vladimir Putin: expert practitioner of cancel culture
Yes, he’s clearly a keen observer of Western European cultural trends.
All of these trends have been to his benefit.
Perhaps the problem lies with the wording. Consider the difference between ‘trans woman’ and ‘a man who has transitioned’.
“Fleemwobbler” and “horkspangle”, for all the meaning those nonsense terms have.
What a lump.
What a plonker
