Labour to ban transgender women from all-female shortlists
- The Labour leadership under Sir Keir Starmer is preparing to prohibit transgender women from participating in all-women shortlists, according to a leaked NEC document scheduled for a vote on 20 May 2025.

- Labour's ban and public campaigns highlight ongoing debates over single-sex spaces and transgender inclusion, with implications for gender policy and protections under the Equality Act.
