The deputy Labour leader came after the party scaled back its commitment to self-identification for transgender people.
Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner said the party was committed to a supportive process for people transitioning
Sir Keir’s approach to gender ID emerged from the party’s national policy forum last month, and was confirmed by shadow women and equalities secretary Anneliese Dodds in a Guardian article. Asked about Labour’s changing position on trans rights, Ms Rayner told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I still stand by they are not in conflict with women’s rights.
“At the moment the process isn’t, and we have acknowledged that, that there are problems with the process, and therefore there has to be a process that is a supportive process that recognises that people can transition and that we do that in a way that is supportive of those people.”
