Rosie Duffield has taken a swipe at Wes Streeting and the Labour Party for “blanking” and “sidelining” women who have expressed concerns over the approach to trans people.
The MP for Canterbury posted a scathing thread on X following the publication of the Cass Review, a report into gender identity services.
The review found that there is “remarkably weak evidence” to support gender treatments for children. It also warned that the “toxicity of the debate” is also not helping, claiming that people are afraid of discussing trans issues openly.
Responding to the review, Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting called for the Government to “immediately act”, saying that children’s healthcare “should always be led by evidence and children’s welfare, free from culture wars”.

But responding to Streeting’s remarks, Duffield said: “To the many women, blanked, sidelined, dismissed by male leaders when speaking up and exposing this for years.
And to [Labour Women’s Declaration] – refused meetings, banned and blocked from [UK Labour] conferences and campaigns, blocked as candidates.
“Despite years of research, connection with experts, meetings for cross-party politicians attended in secret. We will remain unacknowledged by [UK Labour].”
She added: “As male leaders take applause, praise and credit for simply listening to an expert, and finally reading the room (the voters), where were the senior ‘sisters’?
“Perhaps less moral cowardice now? No apologies to those ‘investigated’, reprimanded, passed over, bullied, deselected.”
