Labour conference venue boasts of gender-neutral facilities

‘Toilets for every body’: Labour conference boasts of gender-neutral facilities – but urges people to get help if they feel ‘unsafe’ – after Keir Starmer’s wavering over whether a woman can have a penis

Labour activists are using gender-neutral facilities at the party’s conference – but have been urged to contact staff if they feel ‘unsafe’. 

The conference venue in Liverpool has signs for the cubicles boasting of ‘toilets for every body’. 

A message says the aim is to have ‘facilities where everyone can feel safe and respected’.

‘If you spot a problem or feel unsafe speak to a member of the ACC Liverpool team,’ the signs add.

It is not clear how much influence Labour had over the conference centre’s policy.

However, Keir Starmer has struggled to give a clear account of his position on gender identity issues.

He was ridiculed for claiming earlier this year that 99.9 per cent of women ‘haven’t got a penis’. 

Conservatives have pinpointed access to women-only spaces as a key dividing line where Labour seems out of step with public opinion.  

Rishi Sunak upped the pressure at Tory conference last week by insisting that ‘a man is a man and a woman is a woman’.

A Deltapoll survey for the Mail on Sunday found of 35 per cent of voters agreed that a woman was ‘a human being characterised by female biology’, while just 14 per cent said that ‘trans women are women’. 

The use of woke terms such as ‘pregnant person’ was supported by just 11 per cent, with 81 per cent preferring to talk about a ‘pregnant woman’.
