Liz Truss has called on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to support her proposed bill aimed at changing the legal definition of sex to 'biological', thereby restricting transgender women's access to female-only spaces, including toilets and sports facilities. The bill seeks to outlaw schools from socially transitioning pupils, prevent doctors from prescribing sterilising hormones to children, clarify that 'sex' in the Equality Act means biological sex, and ensure children are allowed to grow up healthy in their own bodies. Supporters of the bill argue that it is essential for safeguarding, particularly in schools, and emphasize the importance of informed consent in health treatments for children. The proposal has garnered support from various quarters, including former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies.
NO CHILD IS BORN IN THE WRONG BODY I support this bill from @trussliz. We must stop twisting our language, denying science, undermining child safeguarding, and eroding the safety, dignity, privacy of women. Enough is enough. https://t.co/itwNJo7CDO
'It’s very important it’s absolutely crystal clear in law that sex is biological, and that we do protect same sex spaces because it's so vital for safeguarding, especially in schools.' @Emma_A_Webb believes women-only spaces should legally only be for biological women. https://t.co/yhBbhXJsIG
Any health treatment rests on informed consent yet children are being put on care pathways with irreversible consequences. In the interest of safety I fully support @trussliz bill https://t.co/KwGSHI0vru

This Bill will make the law clear that "sex" in the Equality Act means sex and children must be protected and allowed to grow up healthy in their own body. https://t.co/a8gcV2mG08
I urge the Government to back my Bill this Friday. It will protect children from body-altering decisions. It will mean only biological females can access girls’ and women's toilets as well as sports. Guidance is not enough. The law needs to change.👇 https://t.co/lO644MpXfx
This Bill is good! It would: 1) Outlaw schools socially transitioning pupils ✅ 2) Stop doctors putting children on sterilising hormones ✅ 3) Clarify the definition of sex in the Equality Act ✅ Tell your MP to back the Bill! https://t.co/2QBaNYbGKw
