Main political parties policy on Self ID?

Unless I have misread manifestos, it seems all the main parties in England have a policy supporting self ID with the exception of the Tories and Brexit Party who haven't published their view? Am I correct? Trying to decide who to vote for and I'm struggling...

All of the main parties support self ID.

The Tories introduced the idea. It isnt in the manifesto, but they have done nothing to ring fence womens sex based rights or uphold The Equality Act.
They are permitting men to self ID their way into prisons, psychiatric wards, hospital wards etc.
They are permitting the police and other authorities to act as 'transphobic hate speech' is a hate incident.

Labour, the LibDems and the Women's Equality Part are fully on board with self ID at the expense of women's sex based rights.

UKIP want to abolish The Equality Act and roll human rights back to 1970.

Sadly, that seems to reflect what I'd read (I was hoping I was wrong!). I had a hope for the Greens and googled but was directed to their LGBTQ+ site and was horrified by what I read - still hoping its not their actual official site. Had all the concerns around Self ID stated but called 'MYTHS' and did provide any evidence based refuting of the concern in any meaningful, factual way.

Chilver - could you provide the ‘myths’ link? Thanks

They all seem in favour. Apart from the Tories who seem to be turning a blind eye to it actually happening on their watch.
We desperately need some adults to enter politics.

The SNP seem to have responded to questions about self ID by actually not including any reference to it in their manifesto (or so I understand from another post).

I had thought the Communist Party was against self id but apparently they are saying in the current situation they are supporting Labour Party Candidates and their manifesto for this election is vote Labour.

And again, based on rumour, the Brexit party is opposed to self ID but not in their Contract with the People!
