• I WAS so pleased to hear that Kellie-Jay Keen, women’s rights campaigner of Let Women Speak, intends to stand against Sir Keir Starmer at the next general election.

As a constituent I have written to Sir Keir on a number of occasions and asked if I, and a group of women, could meet him to discuss our concerns around women’s and children’s safeguarding. But we have had no luck.

I have absolutely no problem with gender non-conformity, however, I do have huge concerns around children being given puberty blockers, and the effect that the inclusion of trans women in women’s sport, prisons, rape crisis and domestic refuges has on women.

People have been scared to speak up, called bigots and bullies, but with the recent announcement that the charity, Mermaids, are being investigated by the Charity Commission, the UN special rapporteur writing to Nicola Sturgeon urging her to be cautious about passing a gender recognition reform bill that would allow anyone to “self-ID” as the opposite sex, and two Guardian journalists, Hadley Freeman and Suzanne Moore, resigning because they were being censored and told they couldn’t write about gender issues, enough is enough.
