Liz Truss is not the first swallow in the UK to fight against the gender lobby, but she would protect children and real women with laws.
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss is introducing a bill that would ban children from trying to change their gender, such as undergoing hormone treatments. It also wants to ban people born male but living as women from entering spaces reserved for women, including bathrooms, locker rooms, shelters and prisons.
According to the British television network ITV, Truss feels that young people need stronger legal protection.
“There is a need for the law to better protect children and teenagers from making irreversible decisions about their bodies that they may later regret. The law should also be amended to make it clear that biological males are legally excluded from single-sex rooms designated for women," a source close to Truss told the British channel.
According to the conservative politician, these are not party political issues, and he hopes that a broad cross-party alliance will support his bill.
The former prime minister is also actively campaigning for his proposed law on his social media page.
This week I will present a Private Members' Bill to Parliament. The Bill would protect single-sex spaces in law. It would also protect children and teenagers from making irreversible decisions about their bodies.👇 https://t.co/awVitcIoO2

Liz Truss is not the first swallow in Britain to take up the fight against the gender lobby.
It is necessary for our government to be brave, take an example from the book of the Hungarian government and protect the children, said Lucy Marsh, representative of the British Family Education Trust.
Marsh said that the legal environment in the UK requires children to participate in sex education, which is often outsourced by schools to unverified third parties. The representative of the organization emphasized that he would be happy if his own government also remembered that they should actually be conservative.
And University College London (UCL) became the first university in the United Kingdom to officially terminate its cooperation with the pro-LGBTQ activist organization Stonewall, the international news agency V4NA wrote.
Stonewall's program, which involves a number of institutions and companies in the UK, trains employers to create workplaces that are more accepting of sexual minorities. Participating organizations are scored on a workplace equality index, which measures how LGBTQ-friendly a workplace is.
In a statement, the university said: “Maintaining academic freedom and free speech is a fundamental need, and we recognize that formal commitment to the Stonewall organization inhibits scholarly work and the opportunity for free debate on campus about sex and gender identity. UCL hopes that we can move forward in that spirit, resolving our remaining differences to become a truly diverse community in which people can express themselves and become self-identified'.
The institution's leadership had previously received a letter from more than thirty academics calling on officials to sever ties with Stonewall.
The letter also states that Stonewall tends to present unscientific claims as objective facts.
