Archbishop defends MP threatened over trans views
from Christian Today:
The Archbishop of Canterbury has defended a trans-critical MP after she withdrew from the Labour Party conference over security fears.
Rosie Duffield has pulled out of next week’s conference in Brighton after receiving threats from trans activists.
The 50-year-old MP for Canterbury has angered the trans community by saying that “only women have a cervix”.
[…] Archbishop Justin Welby has echoed these concerns on social media.
“Absolutely everybody has the right to be safe from abuse, threat or harm. That includes Rosie Duffield AND the transgender community,” he said in a tweet posted alongside the hashtag #disagreewell.
“It’s about time we looked for our shared humanity in our dealings with others, rather than the division.”
