The UK government is considering supporting a private member's bill introduced by Liz Truss, which aims to legally define sex as biological. The bill, backed by MPs including Robert Jenrick, seeks to protect women and children by restricting access to female-only spaces, such as toilets and sports, to biological females. Kemi Badenoch is 'very supportive' of the bill's objectives but has reservations about its practicality, labeling it as 'unworkable in its current form'.
