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.
  • This decision follows the Supreme Court ruling affirming the Equality Act references to sex mean biological sex, affecting legal protections for transgender people.
  • Meanwhile, the Women's Rights Network campaigned in East Herts against allowing individuals assigned male at birth who identify as female to participate in women's sports, highlighting the physical advantages gained after puberty.
  • A spokeswoman explained that certain sports continue to allow individuals who identify as women, but are biologically male, to participate in women's competitions, resulting in them winning medals, breaking records, and taking team positions.
  • 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.
