I'm appalled by my party's stance on trans rights," says Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East, over the ban on puberty blockers and the government’s response to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman.
"At the current rate the government is going, our legacy will be continuing the rollbacks of trans rights that began with the Conservatives," she adds. It's a stark contrast to the previous Labour government, who "introduced the Equality Act, the Gender Recognition Act, paved the way for legalising same sex marriage and equalised the age of consent. Whatever other criticisms I and others may have of the last Labor government, it does have a record it can be proud of on LGBT+ rights".
