(LifeSiteNews) – Sir Keir Starmer, British Leader of the Opposition, was unable to give a straight answer to a question concerning the biological differences between men and women.

The Labour leader was on LBC radio for his regular slot, and the subject of Lia Thomas, the biological male who recently won a women’s NCAA swimming title, came up.

In questioning Starmer, talk show host Nick Ferrari asked multiple times, “A woman can have a penis?”

Starmer replied, “I don’t think that discussing this issue in this way helps anyone in the long run.”

While continuing to omit basic biological truths in his statements, the Labour leader was clearly put off by the question.

“Have I offended you in some way?” Ferrari asked.

Starmer stammered through a response, saying: “I don’t think that discussing this issue in this way helps anyone in the long run.”

He added that it’s up to “the sporting bodies to decide for themselves,” and said that the topic  of whether or not males should compete against females presented “difficult questions.”

The Labour Party has been divided for some time on the issue of transgenderism. Earlier this month, Labour politician Yvette Cooper refused to give a definition of a woman.

Last year, responding to the assertion by Labour minister Rosie Duffield that “only women have a cervix,” Starmer said it was “not right” to make such a statement.

Last year’s internal party kafuffle resulted from Duffield’s support of online criticism over CNN’s supposed redefinition of women as “individuals with a cervix.”

Recently the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was forced to edit an article on endometriosis which originally referred to women with the ailment as people “assigned female at birth.”

Feminist author Milli Hill called out the BBC on Twitter saying “sex is not ‘assigned at birth.’”
