Today, in an address to the House of Commons, Secretary of State for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch introduced the new legislative instrument to narrow the list of nations covered by the Gender Recognition Act's "overseas track." She continued by discussing the necessity for definitions of sex in the legal system to be clear. She responded to inquiries on the legal and personal approaches to gender and sex that she is spearheading inside the government.

It was a tour de force, what the Secretary of State stated today from the despatch box in Westminster. Stonewall does not define the law in our nation, the Secretary of State made that quite plain. She can see the harm gender-identity ideology is causing to women's rights and child protection, as well as the chaos it is creating across society, from workplaces and schools to hospitals and sports facilities.

The Secretary of State affirmed that her agency attempts to elucidate the connection between the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Act, as demanded by Sex Matters in a 110,000-signature petition. According to Sex Matters, conversion therapy has developed into a new, equally heinous form known as "modern conversion therapy," where vulnerable and distressed adults and children are medicalized in gender clinics and sold the untruth that they can alter their sex. That the Secretary of State concurs pleases us.

 She also made it very evident that gender indoctrination in schools would stop, and that parents would no longer be excluded from choices on their children. She clarified what the imprecise phrase "social transition" means and stated that most of its contents are not permitted in schools. To get to this point, many people had to put in a great deal of labor.

With our petition to clarify the Equality Act, Sex Matters is pleased to have contributed to breaking the taboo around the negative effects of trans ideology. This led to a June Westminster Hall debate when several MPs addressed these concerns for the first time.
