Conservatives would change law so trans people could be excluded from single-sex spaces, if party wins election
Kemi Badenoch. Changes to protected characteristic of sex in the Equality Act to mean biological sex would enable organisations to exclude trans people.Kemi Badenoch. Changes to protected characteristic of sex in the Equality Act to mean biological sex would enable organisations to exclude trans people.
“Whether it is rapists being housed in women’s prisons, or instances of men playing in women’s sports where they have an unfair advantage, it is clear that public authorities and regulatory bodies are confused about what the law says on sex and gender and when to act – often for fear of being accused of transphobia, or not being inclusive,” Badenoch said.
Badenoch said on Sunday that she had concluded the law needed to be changed in order to provide protections based on biological sex, saying it was crucial to allow single-sex groups to meet without those of the opposite biological sex.
