A “women’s sex-based rights” campaign group has told MPs to scrap Britain’s Gender Recognition Act and eliminate “transgenderism”.
The Women’s Human Rights Campaign (WHRC), whose mission is “defending women and girls” and “preserving our sex-based rights”, was responding to an inquiry into the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) by the Women and Equalities Select Committee, chaired by Tory MP Caroline Nokes.
The GRA is a law that, since 2004, around 5,000 adult trans men and women have used to gain legal recognition of their gender. Between 2018 and 2020, heated public debate about whether to reform the act to make it more accessible to trans people became increasingly toxic, and led to groups like the WHRC forming to oppose trans rights.
