Labour (Co-op) — Leeds Central and Headingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 May 2025

Debate

Gender Self-identification

Contribution

Does the hon. Lady agree that other jurisdictions have implemented the self-declaration of legal gender without any detriment, and without any of the debates we have had in this country even without those reforms? For instance, Ireland has had an Act providing for the self-declaration of legal gender for 10 years. Is it not time that we moved with those other jurisdictions?
