In the 2010s Stella Creasy was one of Labour's self-styled feminists. Alongside loud mouth Jess Phillips, she led the centrist girlie charge from the backbenches of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour. Fast forward to the 2020s and the narrative changed. Traditional feminists were now designated TERFs by the Marxist establishment. For those that don't know, TERF stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, the suggestion being that a mainstay of left-wing politics for decades was now discriminatory and extreme.
Ever keen to maintain the progressive arc, Labour MPs like Stella embraced the new mantra, ditching the suddenly 'dated' concept that feminism was dedicated to the sole advance of adult human females. In a Telegraph interview in 2022 she enthusiastically declared: "Do I think some women were born with penises? Yes. But they are now women and I respect that."
The focus of the interview was initially intended to be about Stella herself - naturally. Famed for her narcissism, this is the MP who paraded her newborn child around Parliament like some kind of fashion accessory. During the last term she could be seen on the backbenches during live debates with the infant strapped to her bosom, even 'wearing it' for her official MP portrait of 2020.
While the interview was ostensibly to discuss Creasy's experiences at university (yes, yet another university educated bourgeois Labour MP) - primarily a claim she made about being threatened with gang rape - the topic turned to trans. It's amazing that MPs like Creasy and Phillips can talk so much about rape threats and misogynistic comments directed towards them, but a pin drop can be heard when they are asked about the industrial scale actual rape of young English girls, just saying...
In any case, if Stella thought the headlines were going to be about her suffering through university, her absurd views on womanhood put that to bed. She continued her trans divergence by lashing out at probably the world's most famous continuity feminist: "JK Rowling doesn't support self-identification whereas I do. Of course biological sex is real - it's just not the end of the conversation. I am somebody who would say that a trans woman is an adult human female."
She added that the then law on transitioning - which required two doctors to assess the individual's qualification for 'womanhood' - was 'bonkers'.
No, Stella, saying a woman can have a penis is bonkers...
