[font=.SF UI Text][font=.SFUIText]With reference to the Labour Party's decision to have an all female shortlist to become the parliamentary candidate for the Rushcliffe seat in Nottinghamshire. The first issue here is one of positive discrimination, are there no males in the Rushcliffe area with parliamentary aspirations? If there are, can they not seek legal recourse in the UK equality act? Is it even legal for the Labour Party to discriminate against males in this way? I'm not an expert in the law but surely sex discrimination works both ways?[/font][/font]
[font=.SF UI Text][font=.SFUIText]Secondly, there is the issue of Labour allowing transgender woman Dr. Heather Peto to stand as a candidate, I have no thoughts on this persons identity one way or another, my thoughts are more general about the transgender agenda.[/font][/font]
[font=.SF UI Text][font=.SFUIText]The Labour Party are clearly happy to accept Dr. Peto as a woman, this has much wider connotations, the Party could be opening an enormous can of worms here. If we are to look at professional sport for example, do the Labour Party now believe that transgender women can go to the Olympics and compete against actual women? I do not consider it sexist to suggest that (in most cases) the top female athletes would struggle to compete with their male counterparts (although I suspect that some will see this as massively sexist). Let's imagine for a moment that a male amateur boxer aspires to win an Olympic Gold Medal, he's not quite at the level required to enter the men's event, but believes he could probably smash the living daylights out of everyone in the woman's event, his trainer then suggests that to achieve his Olympic Gold dream he could enter as a woman? You can probably see where I'm going with this. Could Phil Neville and his Lionesses be improved with a couple a men identifying as women? Women's Rugby teams? Athletics? Tennis? It's endless.
