Liz Truss: "Women Do Not Have A Penis"!

Liz Truss former Prime Minister has been taking questions from people in Leigh. Alongside, GB News Presenter Dan Wootton, they were fielding questions and answers. On a range of topics, Liz and Dan gave frank answers from Boris Johnson to the week's by-elections.

Liz Truss was posed a question about the trans-movement. She said having studied biology she knew what a man and woman are and what they were not. She said extreme-trans ideology was a threat to "womanhood". Where trans men had attacked women and taken advantage of women in prison. Where trans-men defined as women, were allowed, to take part in women's sports. The trans movement and indeed, the LGBTQ+ movement had obscured what it meant to be a man or indeed, a woman.

Ms. Truss said, "Why are politicians (of all persuasions) afraid to say what a man or a woman is"? Asked by Dan Wootton "Did a woman have a penis" Liz replied, "A woman does not have a penis, Dan". And biologically speaking whether you like her definition of gender or not, it is correct.

Transgender has always been a thing. People who said they were trapped in the wrong body altered their sex accordingly. Whether it be a man to a woman or a woman to a man. In the past, little was heard about it, and it was not made a fuss by the proponents of sex change. Now it is extreme as such people obviously feel along with all the other proponents of the LGBTQ+ movement their time has come. People who have been put down and ignored for a long time tend to rebel. And though this demonstration and protest may be justified it can reach to extreme lengths. Once accepted as the 'norm' by the government and the population it can then become like a dictatorship. Where those who disagree become oppressed and they face accusations of bigotry. This is exactly where we are now.

Rishi Sunak said he knew the difference between a man and a woman. Whether he was saying that because this is what he genuinely felt. Or, he was saying it for political reasons to get with the anti-trans movement. It is understandable why Sir Keir would not commit himself as to whether a woman has a penis or not. He will know the real answer but for the sake of votes, he may be positioning himself as pro-trans for political reasons. Or perhaps he knows the subject is controversial and wishes to steer clear of it. Sometimes it is better to remain silent in such issues even though in your mind, you know the 'real' answer.

Freedom of expression should be a universal right. Whatever your group, your view, your fashion, race, religion, nationality, gender, musical taste, etc. But it seems in the age we live in now, some groups have more rights than others. And if you speak out against such things or espouse a different view you are cancelled. A heap of bile and accusations are dumped on you. Just because you have a different view from the prevailing accepted view.

Once the prevailing view was you might not agree with someone but you would back their right to say it. That is how true freedom of expression should be. Not where one or certain groups are allowed free expression and others are not.

I realize Liz Truss was the shortest Prime Minister in history. She and her 'no-mark' Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng made a complete 'balls up' of the economy. The only good thing Truss did was to extend the government's help for energy bills for 2 years. However, when Sunak and Hunt took over they reduced the help to six months. Saying two years was too long and apparently unaffordable.

Since leaving the job Truss has been entitled to all the perks that Prime Ministers get. But seeing as her time in office was short and a disaster the question of whether she should receive all the perks of an ex-Prime Minister will always be asked.
