Birkenhead MP condemns latest trans bill which suggested outing pupils

A Wirral MP has condemned a bill put forward which would have forced schools to out trans pupils and outlawed social transition.

Mick Whitley, the Birkenhead MP for Labour, has criticised the bill proposed by the Reclaim Party's Andrew Bridgen last week.

Mr Bridgen, the MP for North West Leicestershire who was previously a Conservative before being expelled by the party in April, attempted to use a 10-minute rule motion to introduce a bill on gender and parental rights in schools to the house. The bill suggested that teachers out pupils to their parents and alter the sex-education curriculum.
