'Though Falkner suggested it would be “wise for space to be given to the regulator” to handle this – in other words, that parliament should back off – some Labour MPs are rapidly reaching the opposite view.
A law that doesn’t work in real-life scenarios is a law that doesn’t work, full stop. On this evidence, parliament should prepare to roll up its sleeves.'

Is Labour about to agitate to change the EA? How will that work, will someone propose a Bill?

Suppose you wanted to start a women’s walking group, the Labour MP Rachel Taylor asked her, but you actively wanted to include trans women. Is that allowed? No, was the eventual answer: of course you can let your trans friend join, but then you’d be a mixed not single-sex group, and would have to also accept any man asking to join
Correct, and fair enough.

To this I would add- transmen would be welcome to join as they are biological women.

It’s always the poor TW excluded, completely forgetting TM are welcome.
