So, yet another row over Labour's stance on gender
0:04
Trans activists have put forward a biological man to be the woman's officer for the Labour Party's LGBTQ plus group
0:14
The controversial move, backed by the new Trans Rights Alliance, has drawn criticism from gender-critical Labour members
0:20
It says it breaches party rules and defies a Supreme Court ruling defining woman as biological sex
0:27
OK, so, I mean, it does seem like maybe that's a slightly backwards step
0:33
given that we'd had some rulings that this stuff shouldn't really be happening anymore. Do you know, when we first saw the headline
0:38
I thought they'd actually just picked you straight down the middle bloke for it. Right. Just like, you want a job done
0:43
Get someone in a suit. Someone who needs a job at the moment, I don't know
0:48
Do you think he was exactly the person for it, Greg? Could be. Yeah, what could go wrong
0:52
What could go wrong? As the women's officer. Middle-aged women of a certain age
0:56
Middle-aged women, I am here. Actually, have we got that Greg Wallace clip
1:01
Can you get it out for me? The one we nearly had before, that Greg Wallace clip about middle-aged women
1:06
Because this is apparently that Labour Party looking for what? Is it for a women's officer? Is that right
1:12
LGBT Labour, I imagine, are looking for a women's officer. That sounds like
1:17
So LGBT Labour are looking for a new women's officer. So this is Greg Wallace's pitch for that role
1:24
handful of middle class women of a certain age That who he going to represent That who he there for fighting the good fight
1:38
I mean, they don't help themselves, do they, when they do this kind of stuff? Do you think, like, you should probably just pick up
1:42
an actual biological woman for a women's role, do you think? Hmm. It's the first I've heard of it
1:47
and I would say it's probably inappropriate, because if you are trans, you can probably talk about
1:52
the issues trans women may face. I think if you're going for a women's officer role
1:57
you've got to be a woman from birth. And I think, therefore, you can talk more broadly
2:02
about issues women face. That's what I... Isn't it just mad that we're having this conversation
2:06
Yeah, but I don't think... I mean, you're being very polite because you say, I think you're... It is the case
2:12
It's 100% the case. A man can't ever understand women's issues. It's just a matter of fact. We just can't
2:18
That's how it is. If I was to magically become a woman tomorrow, I don't think I'd know what it means to be a woman
2:22
And if they're a trans officer and they put someone in who wasn't trans, I'm sure they'd complain
2:26
So the logic stands and they'd agree with the logic half the time. Yeah, and I think with things... There are facts, right
2:33
So gender is a social construct, sex isn't, it's biological. I think the same could be said of race and ethnicity
2:39
And I can only imagine the backlash if a white person was elected
2:43
as LGBT Labour or any other group's race officer, for instance, and it was a white person, not somebody that wasn't white
2:50
Exactly, exactly. And I think that's where we have to maybe look at the facts on this sort of stuff at the risk of upsetting
2:56
and actually just not representing people. But it goes across the reality that the whole alphabet spaghetti
3:02
of LGBTQIA plus is too broad
