    "We have to let people be who they want to be" Labour leadership hopeful Rebecca Long-Bailey tells @bbclaurak trans women are women and that self-identification - where trans people self-identify their gender - "should be the law" https://bbc.in/2NPsgVQ pic.twitter.com/RgPnz6hEFz

        So if she had a young daughter she would be happy for her to go into loo full of self identifying women or changing room. She has to stick to her principles I presume.

        Very obvious and sensible. So unlikely to be popular to post-brexit brits.

        I'm a cis woman, a feminist, and have 0 fear of trans women being able to be who they are without humiliation. Some men are predators, and will attack women *regardless* of whether this is or isn't the law. Those that oppose it only seek to harm transwomen for the sake of harm.

        Don't matter what drugs people take or what bits a surgeon cuts off or sticks on, it nothing changes the chromosome make up of the body. XX=Female, XY= Male.
