Labour Party's Stance on Gender Education
The left-wing Labour Party is considering scrapping government guidance in schools that teaches there are only two biological sexes. The Conservative government's failure to put this policy into law makes it easily reversible. Shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson hinted at a review of the guidance, which includes teachings on gender identity and non-binary individuals.
