Allegations of indifference
Labour Party MP Rosie Duffield has criticized party leader Keir Starmer for not standing up for her against what she describes as militant trans bullies. Duffield, a gender-critical campaigner, has accused Labour of having "an issue with women" and expressed her disappointment in Starmer's lack of support.
Political repercussions and personal struggles
Duffield revealed that she has faced abuse for advocating for women's rights and spaces, leading to a feeling of being 'gaslighted' within her own party. She expressed that newer Labour MPs seem to advance more quickly than her, leaving her political career stagnant and undervalued.
Consideration of party switch
Despite feeling unsupported by Labour, Duffield stated that she would not switch her allegiance to the Conservative Party due to fundamental ideological differences, particularly on issues like refugees and Brexit. She emphasized her commitment to her constituents and the values she stands for.
Internal divisions on trans issues
The Labour Party has been grappling with internal divisions regarding trans issues, with instances of flip-flopping on positions. Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting recently acknowledged the party's mistake in categorically stating that all trans women are women, highlighting the ongoing debates within the party.
