A British member of Parliament who has faced intense criticism over her refusal to disassociate biological sex from gender doubled down last week, reiterating that she will not refer to 60-year-old comedian Eddie Izzard as a woman — even if it means imprisonment.
On Friday, Rosie Duffield, a Labour member of Parliament for Canterbury, England, attended the annual LGB Alliance conference in London.
The LGB Alliance, which seeks to help the “Ls,” the “Bs,” and the “Gs,” but is not so much interested in the “Ts,” affirms that “biological sex is binary, female and male, and that (for the vast majority of people) sex is determined at conception, observed at birth (or in utero), and recorded.”
The Independent reported that at the conference, Duffield was asked about the possibility that referring to a transsexual’s biological sex might soon amount to a hate crime.
