I will give Ms. Dodds the benefit of the doubt, but I I imagine she has realised that half the population are born as women and alienating them is not a good political strategy.

That is what I think.

Just seen my typo!!

But whilst this is rather sketchy in the detail, it does seem indicate they have realised that many electors were questioning some of the recent statements made by Starmer and others on Trans issues which could have been vote losers.

It does but as always the devil is in the detail. I’d like to see those “biological women only” spaces specified before I believe they have a real grasp of the issues and will “defend” those spaces. it rather meaningless.

“Reasonable “ is a subjective concept.

Anneliese Dodds

We need to recognise that sex and gender are different – as the Equality Act does. We will make sure that nothing in our modernised gender recognition process would override the single-sex exemptions in the Equality Act. Put simply, this means that there will always be places where it is reasonable for biological women only to have access. Labour will defend those spaces, providing legal clarity for the providers of single-sex services.

I am not hugely knowledgable about this area, but it seems a sensible policy.
