If you thought the long-awaited publication of trans guidance had finally put an end to years of madness over toilets and sporting tournaments, think again. After more than a year of dither and delay, Labour last month finally published its trans guidance for businesses, services and organisations, building on the Supreme Court ruling that one’s sex is determined by biology. The wait for the 300-page document was ridiculous, but it was generally well received. It stated that those with male genitalia should use the men’s loos and those with female genitalia should go to the ladies’. Who’d have thought!
Anyway, despite almost everyone agreeing that the issue can at last be put to bed, dozens of MPs have decided to say ‘not so fast’. An Early Day Motion is circulating in the Commons, demanding that the guidance, due to be made statutory, is ripped up. Specifically, the motion text states: ‘That the draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 May, be disapproved.’
In a shock to absolutely no one, the EDM was laid by the hard-left Corbynista Labour MP Nadia Whittome. A total of 70 MPs have signed it, including 33 from Labour, 29 from the Lib Dems, three from the SNP, two Greens, one Your Party MP and one Social Democratic & Labour Party MP.
