Let’s just hope labour ditch their new transphobic stance
Despite the recent weird flex by Sir K (I can only think he got a bit carried away with the pre-election don't be seen as woke rheotric) they don't actually have one. If you actually look at their policies, Starmer has said Labour won't change the Equalities Act (which Kemi Badenoch had vowed to amend to make it harder for trans people to access single sex spaces).
Starmer has also said that Labour will 'reset the toxic trans discourse', that treating trans people with respect has “seemingly been lost in the last 14 years” and he is “determined to change that”. He also said in one of the debates that the Tories had been using trans people as a political football.
It is Labour policy to to modernise and simplify the gender recognition law (which they've called outdated) to remove indignities for trans people.
And right now the TERFs are losing their shit on Twitter and calling for Rosie Duffield to get the job because they think Anneliese Dodds is about to be announced as Women and Equalities Minister and SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT A WOMAN IS and the Telegraph thinks she's pushing transgender ideology.
So... I don't think they have a transphobic stance.

If anyone wants a giggle I highly recommend taking a stroll through the comments section of the DM and DX articles today.
The wailing and gnashing of teeth from the gammons is quite a sight to behold. A worrying number of commenters on there openly threatening to assault their new labour MPs/riot as well.
Let’s just hope labour ditch their new transphobic stance and the Lib Dem’s and greens are vocal enough to hold them to account.
