Which is better: to be ignored because of inertia or deliberately excluded? This is what most transgendered people in the UK face
Labour has a good record of passing laws supporting minority and disadvantaged groups. These include legislation prohibiting discrimination against people on the grounds of age, race and sexual orientation. So it comes as a surprise to find a Labour government deliberately intending to exclude one specific minority group from the provisions of the Single Equality Bill. That group is transgendered people who are not transsexual, ie the vast majority of transgendered people.
