Trans row: ‘Celebrities are too privileged to understand why women are enraged by the trans debate’, says Rosie Duffield
Celebrities are too privileged to understand why the trans debate matters so much to women, campaigning MP Rosie Duffield has said.
Duffield – who was ostracised in the Labour party over her position on trans women before she quit last September – said she took a stand on behalf of “ordinary workers whose names we don’t know”.
Her comments come after actor Pedro Pascal dubbed JK Rowling a “heinous loser” after the Harry Potter author celebrated the UK Supreme Court’s ruling last week that trans women are not legally women.
Duffield told GB News’ Chopper’s Political Podcast: “Celebs do get behind this, don’t they? We saw the way J.K. Rowling was disowned by her own.

Duffield added: “Those women need a voice, need us to stand up for them. So it’s not people like me that are really disadvantaged. It’s working women and men who just want to know and be able to speak about the truth.”
Duffield said: “That’s why it’s so infuriating that the Labour Party think of it as a kind of niche issue. It’s not. It’s ordinary people.”
A spokesman for the Labour party told GB News: “We have been clear about supporting the Supreme Court ruling.”
