    One thing that I am really disappointed by is the lack of any meaningful reform to gender recognition. Like they pay lip service but they still want to keep the requirement for a medical diagnosis and they don’t want to recognise non-binary people. I don’t love the term red Tory because I think it’s inaccurate but to me this is one are where Labour are closer to the Tory party than they are to other left wing parties

      I would be happier with the requirement for a medical diagnosis if getting one took 18 weeks rather than 5-10 years, and didn’t involve making adults jump through hoops to prove they’re “trans enough” to be diagnosed. Like I get the need to be cautious when it comes to diagnosing children, but for adults, especially those over 30, there is zero need to spend so much time making sure they definitely know what they want.
