Streeting: Donβt shut down Rowling in trans debate
Labourβs Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has urged trans rights campaigners not to try to βshut downβ author JK Rowling when she speaks up in the debate.
In an interview with the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔβs Nick Robinson, on his Political Thinking Podcast, Mr Streeting said that was not the way to win an argument and he called for more βempathy and understandingβ on both sides.
The MP, who worked for campaign group Stonewall before entering politics, said he would always stand up for LGBT rights.
