He also appeared to aim a dig at MSPs who passed the legislation: “What’s happened in Scotland is a reminder that if you want change, you have to carry the public with you.”
He also said: “Gender recognition will not be one of the priorities of the incoming government.”

Interesting. Are they finally beginning to read the room...?

I'd definitely be needing to sit down, to hear the news that Labour would commit to reviewing the GRA in order to assist detransitioners.

Reader: I was sitting down. No mention of detransitioners at all though.

▪	Ensure employers act to prevent sexual harassment, including of LGBT+ people
▪	Introduce a full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices while protecting legitimate talking therapies, closing any consent loopholes that remain on the statute book
▪	Build consensus and modernise the process of gender recognition to remove indignities for trans people, while upholding the Equality Act, its protected characteristics and its provision for single-sex exemptions.

They can't mention detransitioners because it questions the legitimacy of every other trans related policy.

If its based on a medical diagnosis, and detransitioners exist, we have to start asking serious questions about the reliability and ethics of diagnosis, treatment and long term implementations of having a gra.

If its not based on a medical diagnosis, just based on a patients want at that time, how do lawmakers know the motivation behind transition, and the impact on others.
