Trans rights critics are “swivel-eyed loons”

Macclesfield MP, Tim Roca, has described critics of trans rights as “swivel-eyed loons”.

Roca made the remarks at an event called Queering Academia, hosted by the University of Westminster earlier this month.

He also suggested the critics are “not very well people” during the university event.

“The best argument against them is a conversation with them, because they look swivel eyed and honestly, they’re not very well people, I don’t think, the ones that I’ve met,” Roca said during his talk.

Roca, who won the Macclesfield seat in last year’s general election, made the comments whilst discussing approaches to debates on gender issues.

Roca also criticised the Supreme Court’s judgment on trans rights in the recording obtained by the Telegraph, calling it “very depressing” and contradicting his own party’s official position on the ruling.

Labour had welcomed the court’s decision, which ruled that the legal definition of “woman” within the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex, as bringing “clarity” to the issue, but the MP openly rejected this stance during his university talk.

The MP went on to suggest that UK debates on gender had “gone down the rabbit hole” in a manner similar to discussions in the United States.

“I think actually the UK has now really gone down the rabbit hole into the way the United States discusses issues of gender, race, poverty, all of that,” he told the audience.

During the same event, Roca launched a scathing attack on Parliament itself, labelling it a “toxic cesspit” and making sweeping claims about his fellow MPs’ motivations.

The Labour backbencher suggested that other parliamentarians were driven by “fear, envy, greed” rather than public service.

Roca’s comments about his parliamentary colleagues add to the controversy surrounding his university appearance, where he also made inflammatory statements about those who disagree with him on trans rights.
