According to AI:
Yvette Cooper fully supports the indefinite ban on the routine prescription of puberty blockers and other medical transitioning treatments for underage children outside of strictly regulated clinical trials.
As a senior member of the Labour government, her position aligns with the official party policy dictated by the findings of the landmark Cass Review.
Key Pillars of Her Position
Endorsement of the Cass Review: Following the publication of the independent review by pediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, Cooper stated that the government would implement its recommendations in full. The review concluded that the medical evidence supporting the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children with gender dysphoria was remarkably weak.
Support for Indefinite Restrictions: Cooper backs the government’s policy—formally advanced by Health Secretary Wes Streeting—to maintain an indefinite ban on both NHS and private prescriptions of puberty blockers for individuals under the age of 18.
Prioritising Evidence-Based Care: Cooper has publicly argued that medical treatment for vulnerable children must always be grounded in robust clinical safety rather than political debate. She supports restricting access to these medications exclusively within highly monitored scientific environments, such as the Pathways clinical trial, to gather proper data on long-term health risks.
Also:
Yvette Cooper supports the provision of strictly biological, women-only changing rooms and facilities for NHS staff and nurses, in line with the landmark Supreme Court ruling.
As part of the Labour Cabinet, Cooper endorses the government’s statutory code of practice, which mandates that single-sex spaces in the NHS must be designated based entirely on biological sex rather than gender identity.
Key Alignment with Current Government Policy
Enforcement of the Supreme Court Decision: Following the Supreme Court's ruling clarifying that "sex" and "woman" in the Equality Act 2010 refer strictly to biological sex, Cooper supports the implementation of the updated Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) guidance. This guidance explicitly bars trans women (biological males) from female-only changing rooms and toilets.]
Workplace Mandate for NHS Staff: In May 2026, the government finalized and approved the national code of practice. Cooper backs this mandate, which requires NHS trusts to divide staff changing rooms and facilities on a biological basis to protect women's privacy, safety, and dignity.
Alternative Provisions for Transgender Staff: Under the policy Cooper supports, the NHS must provide separate, self-contained, gender-neutral or mixed-sex facilities for transgender employees, rather than allowing access to biological female-only spaces.

Cant say I can remember her ever saying anything about supporting women only provision.
Have just remembered that years ago, when Labour was going through getting rid of whoever was leading the party at that time, that she would be a much better leader than any of the men proposed. Let alone that it was always assumed she would stand aside for her husband the terrible Ed Balls.
