GB News stars Eamonn Holmes and Nana Akua locked horns over the claim that the "vast majority of people are simply not engaged in [trans rights] as an issue or a debate". Nana, who welcomed the recent Supreme Court ruling that the definition of a woman refers to biological sex, rather than self-assigned gender identity, furiously pushed back, exclaiming: "That's not true!" She went on to accuse Eamonn of having it easier as a man, suggesting he didn't need to worry about predatory men accessing women's changing rooms and toilets by claiming to be transgender. She raged: "How stupid do [politicians like Keir Starmer and Ed Davey ] look? Most people know that a trans woman isn't a woman, it's a different type of man!" She continued: "People have lost jobs, livelihoods, for protecting the biological sex of women!" However, Eamonn argued that the vast majority of people are uninvolved, telling her: "I don't meet anyone in the street who says, 'You know, Eamonn, I've been thinking about this woman-man issue.
..'" Infuriated, Nana hit back: "You're men - you don't have to deal with it!" Referencing people who were not born as women accessing female-only areas such as public toilets, she added: "As women, who are actually the larger majority of the population, we have to deal with it all the time.
"I think about it a lot - I'm a woman and I think if you ask other women, you'll hear the same thing." The debate, which has attracted passionate arguments from celebrities such as author JK Rowling and broadcaster Piers Morgan, intensified after April's Supreme Court ruling confirming that biological sex is what defines a woman. Keir Starmer had previously suggested that a woman could have a penis, as Nana reminded the GB News panel this morning.
"He spent two years saying a woman has a penis and went on to say that 99% don't, which means that 1%, one in a thousand do," she exclaimed, adding: "This is somebody who clearly knows what a woman is but was unable to be clear with the public [about it]." Since the court ruling, Starmer has made a "major U-turn", publicly stating that he welcomes the "real clarity" it has introduced..
