Labour鈥檚 new gender recognition plan

Labour announces plans to reform the 'Gender Recognition Act'

Anneliese Dodds has shared Labour's new plans to "modernise, simplify, and reform" the 'Gender Recognition Act'. Writing in The Guardian, the shadow women and equalities secretary added Labour's reform would keep "medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria", officially confirming the party no longer supports self-ID.

Labour's new reforms have received a mix reception from both sides of the debate, with criticisms from LGBTQ+ activists and the public for Labour's ever changing stance on the issue.

Anneliese Dodds was not available to discuss the reforms with the Today programme.

Today's Nick Robinson speaks to Rosie Duffield, Labour MP for Canterbury and gender critical feminist, and Helen Belcher, a Lib Dem councillor, trans woman, and the chair of TransActual UK.
