We don't know that.Do you know what your chromosomes are? I've never had mine tested, I don't know what mine are.”
• “[Asked if Isla Bryson should be able to identify as trans] I think any trans person should be able to get the gender recognition certificate that they seek, that recognises, in law, something that the rest of us just take for granted.”
• “[It was suggested Bryson was posing as trans to avoid serving their sentence in a male prison] Well we do'’t know that was the only motivation that Isla Bryson chose to do that [...] Isla Bryson is a trans woman ... it’s very very clear that we cannot let single cases determine the entire legislation that we're talking about here.”
