'Bathroom ban' would define Labour's legacy, trans group warns at conference
"Over the last week I don't believe there has been a day in which I haven't cried from the worry and anxiety,"
"I have felt I can't go out in the same way I once did."
"A woman walks in, walks out, and loudly shouts there's a man in the women's toilets."
A van with a giant LED sign parked outside the Labour Annual Conference venue in Liverpool voiced trans people's fears over a possible trans bathroom ban after the Supreme Court's gender ruling. The display, organised by non-profit Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, carried anonymous community quotes and statements from inclusive businesses condemning prime minister Keir Starmer's anti-trans rhetoric. The Equality and Human Rights Commission finalised updates to its single-sex spaces code after consulting following the Supreme Court ruling that interpreted the 2010 Equality Act's definition of 'women' as 'biological women.' Sources indicate the finalised code will likely recommend banning trans people from single-sex services, and polling shows LGBTQ+ support for Labour fell from 42% to 25%.
