On the second day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the head of the British foreign secret service, known as MI6, tweeted the following:
“With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights.”In other words, in the opinion of the head of this service, a transgender woman’s right to cheat at women’s sports by claiming to be a woman in the full sense of the word, while retaining some of the inherited biological advantages of her birth sex, is on a par with the right to free speech and a free press, the protection against arbitrary arrest, and so on.
