Nandy, an MP since 2010, has historically supported LGBTQ+ rights but admitted to discomfort regarding trans issues in sports. She believes in accepting trans identities and has endorsed policies to protect trans rights, though she hesitated before signing a pledge against transphobia within her party.
Nandy has publicly supported trans rights, stating 'trans women are women and trans men are men' and advocated for their inclusion in their chosen prisons.
Despite her previous support for LGBTQ+ rights, Nandy has backed an indefinite ban on puberty blockers for trans youth, raising concerns about the emotional distress it may cause.
The slogan 'Protect the Dolls' signifies the call to support trans rights, rooted in the historical context of the ballroom culture of Black and Latino LGBTQ+ communities.
