Labour reportedly drops major manifesto commitment for trans people

UK government insists it ‘remains committed to modernising the gender recognition process’

The Labour Party has apparently reaffirmed its commitment to updating the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) despite reports suggesting the pledge had been abandoned. Labour’s manifesto promised to modernize, simplify, and reform the GRA, aiming to remove indignities for trans people while maintaining the need for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a specialist doctor.

Recent reports claimed that the government planned to drop these commitments, citing unnamed sources who expected the plans to “go away” and labeled gender issues as a “can of worms.” However, Angela Eagle, Minister for Border Security and Asylum, has refuted these claims, stating that there had been no change in Labour’s plans. She emphasized that the manifesto commitments remain part of the government’s program.
