Quotes

 * Firstly, transgender people are not the most marginalised and discriminated against. Some of us are doing rather well for ourselves thanks. There are, of course, some countries where trans people face persecution. But in the UK, and other western nations, we have the same rights as everyone else and a few more besides. So while Nandy is right that there needs to be a conversation about this issue, any solution must not come at the expense of other vulnerable groups.

 * The Labour MP and shadow cabinet minister Lisa Nandy was in dispute with the author J.K. Rowling on the issue of transgender rights versus women's rights.
