Health Minister Karin Smyth urged the Conservatives to apologize for their handling of gender identity issues during Theresa May's leadership, following a UK Supreme Court ruling that defined 'woman' based on biological sex. Smyth criticized the Tories for allowing gender questions to linger, stating that they began self-identification policies. This stance has faced backlash from human rights activists, raising concerns over the UKâs compliance with human rights obligations. Smyth emphasized the need to uphold both dignity and equality for all individuals moving forward.
"The people [who] owe the country an apology are the Tory government who were in power for 14 years, who allowed this issue to drift."
"We believe everyone should have their dignity and privacy and right to be respected."
