On the opposition leader ‘some women have preferences’, UK PM Sunak says… | World news
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he believed that “100 percent of women have no sex”. The Conservative leader made the remark amid a debate over transgender issues and put himself at odds with opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer, who has previously suggested that as many as “one in a thousand women have genitals”.
According to The Independent, in an interview Sunak was asked about his thoughts on the statement of Labor Party Leader Stramer who recently said “99.9 per cent of women definitely don’t have sex”.

When Sunak was pressed about whether he believed the figure was 100% true, he replied with a smile, “Yes, of course.”
“We should always have compassion and understanding and tolerance for those who are thinking about changing their gender. Of course, we should,” he said.
“But when it comes to these issues of protecting women’s rights, women’s spaces, I think that the issue of natural sexuality is particularly important when we think about those questions,” he added.
