Pro-transgender UK politician claims children are ‘born without sex’ on live TV

A British politician has claimed on national television that children are “born without sex.” Dawn Butler, a Labour Party MP and Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities made the comment yesterday on the popular morning TV show Good Morning Britain (GMB) while discussing transgender issues. GMB presenter Richard Madeley asked Butler: "Do you think somebody that embraces transgender but nevertheless decides that there is a biological difference based on chromosomes, based on a penis that may not have been removed after surgery, are you saying that you think that person is transphobic?"

Under current law, to get married one has to be above the legal age of 18 and not married to anybody else. Your potential partner cannot be too close a relative e.g. brother, sister uncle, aunt etc and you have to be of the opposite sex. Interestingly love is not a requirement under law. If we remove the rule that says you have to be of the opposite sex, then it is only fair (fairness being a core value of the Labour Party ) that all other discriminatory rules also be removed. A man could then have more than one wife. Two fourteen-year-olds or twelve-year-olds could get married and all those relatives who fall in love with each other could tie the knot and sanction their union. This would bring abo...
