Labour continues to stall the publication of single sex guidance almost a year since a historic Supreme Court judgement.
Labour has sparked fresh fury after telling a nurse new single-sex guidance will not apply to workplaces including the NHS.
Anger has erupted after Women and Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson met Jennifer Melle – suspended after misgendering a paedophile patient – for face-to-face talks on “extreme gender identity ideology” being pushed in the public sector.
Their showdown came as Ms Phillipson stalls on publishing updated guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court judgement which ruled a woman was defined in law by the gender assigned at birth.
She he has yet to bring the document to Parliament, despite having it since September 4.
Ms Melle, who was frogmarched out of St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, south London, after a 6ft beared sex offender trans prisoner objected to being called “Mr”, begged her for witch hunts to end.
But she was told the NHS will be immune from new guidance which will apply only to services and associations.
