Efforts to Block Liz Truss's Transgender Law Reforms in UK Parliament
Conservative MPs are reportedly attempting to prevent debate on Liz Truss's proposed transgender law reforms by prolonging discussions on other matters.
- Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has proposed a bill to define sex as 'biological sex', aiming to restrict transgender women's access to female-only spaces and their participation in women's sports.
- The bill is facing opposition in the Commons, with MPs using parliamentary tactics to delay its debate, potentially preventing it from becoming law.
- Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch is said to be sympathetic to the bill's aims but considers it 'unworkable' in its current form.
- The government has not officially backed the bill but expresses support for its underlying principles, emphasizing the importance of biological sex.
- Labour MPs are accused of trying to 'talk out' the bill, a claim they deny, focusing instead on the importance of other issues like animal welfare.
