The Labour party has decided to cancel its upcoming national women's conference while awaiting final guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) regarding the Supreme Court ruling that defines 'woman' strictly as a biological female. This delay arises after the EHRC extended its public consultation period, prompted by backlash to its earlier advice. The cancellation has sparked outrage from both supporters and opponents of trans rights, highlighting frustrations over the government's response and the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the ruling's implications for society.
The cancellation of the conference has prompted fury from both sides of the issue, fueling discontent at the government’s handling of the judgment and the perceived failure of political leadership.
The extension of the consultation has been widely welcomed, particularly by trans rights campaigners, but it will undoubtedly prolong the uncertainty that has followed in the wake of the supreme court ruling.
