Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has seemingly u-turned on his definition of a woman, saying on Nicky Campbell's BBC 5 live programme 'a woman is an adult female'. His comments come after Labour scrapped its commitments to self-identification.
Sir Keir said his approach, which is at odds with Scottish Labour, emerged after the party’s national policy forum at the weekend.
Sir Keir said a new system designed to allow transgender people to legally identify as their chosen gender without a medical diagnosis is not the ‘right way forward.’‘So we will modernise, simplify and reform the gender recognition law to a new process. We will remove invasive bureaucracy and simplify the process.’
Pressed by listeners and Campbell on Labour’s stance, Sir Keir said: ‘We don’t think that self-identification is the right way forward. We’ve reflected on what happened in Scotland.
