What is a Woman according to Martin Docherty-Hughes

"Nor do I believe that gender recognition affects women’s rights or trans people’s rights under the Equality Act. The Act sets out when services can lawfully be single-sex only. I think we have heard that point put forward and argued on both sides of the debate. The Act also states that the general rule is that trans people should be allowed to access the single-sex services matching the gender they live in, except that they can be treated differently where that is a proportionate means to a legitimate aim, or excluded in exceptional circumstances."

What we must do is to not allow a very small percentage of the population to allow us to be distracted, to take away from women's rights.

Mike Kane

Labour MP Wythenshawe and Sale East

It's completely unfair that biological males who've passed puberty should be involved in any aspect of women's sport.
