Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying “biological males” should be banned from women’s sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

“Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males,” Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent “transgender women” or “biological men” from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

“A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear … what reach federal legislation would have to change them,” Poilievre said.

“But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males,” he added.

    Anyone without an X chromosome in any cell in their body.

    The alternative conservadumb answer is:

    Anyone married to a biological female.

      Cool, I never knew lesbian couples consisted of two males. What a wild world.

      Personally I think beings with no x chromosomes in any cell of their body should be allowed in bathrooms.

      After all, if you can’t bust a nut in the john, where can you?
