Lib Dems reject debate on blocking trans women from diversity quotas

The Liberal Democrats have rejected a proposal to debate excluding trans women from diversity quotas. Dr. Zoe Hollowood, a party member, had sought to update the party's policy on the inclusion of trans women in women's quotas. However, the party's federal conference committee decided not to allow the debate to take place, citing a lack of consensus on the issue. The decision has sparked criticism from some party members, who argue that the issue deserves open discussion. The debate highlights the ongoing debate within the party and society more broadly about the rights and inclusion of transgender individuals, particularly in the context of gender-based policies and initiatives.
