Labour shows off its hostility to women yet again.

The new trans rules are “not right” and should be reviewed by MPs, one of Labour’s deputy leadership candidates has said.

Lucy Powell appeared to criticise the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) guidance on transgender issues, which has advised that workplaces provide protected single-sex spaces.

So she thinks workplaces should not provide protected single-sex spaces? She thinks women should have to deal with men in women’s spaces?

Speaking at a fringe event of the party conference on Monday evening, Ms Powell was asked whether she supported the EHRC’s interim guidance on trans issues, which was issue after a ruling by the Supreme Court in April.

The guidance suggested that businesses and public bodies must provide protection for women-only spaces such as lavatories because the court said legal obligations under the Equality Act were determined by biological sex, not gender identity.

Ms Powell suggested that MPs should review the full guidance before it is published later this year, opening the door to a veto in Parliament for the protection of women-only spaces.

What a shitty, privileged, ruling class thing to do.

Claire Coutinho, the shadow equalities minister, said: “The Supreme Court was crystal clear – biological sex matters, and women have a right to single-sex spaces. Time and again, Labour has sided with radical trans activists instead of the women fighting to protect their changing rooms and toilets from biological men. Labour cannot be trusted to protect the privacy, dignity, and safety of women and girls.”

Oh well, we’re only half the population.
