Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury, wants an apology from Prime Minister Keir Starmer over her treatment by Labour Party leaders. She feels "hounded" over her views on gender and left the party in September after being re-elected as a Labour MP in July 2024. Duffield believes she was investigated, blocked, and barred from being a candidate for stating her views on biological sex, which are protected by law.

J.K. Rowling caused a fresh storm online after openly ridiculing SNP MP Kirsty Blackman’s contribution to a Westminster Hall debate on the Equality Act in June 12, 2023. Highlighting Blackman’s comment — "I have an assumption that my chromosomes are probably XY but I don't know" — Rowling tweeted, "Footage like this must be preserved for posterity, or future generations will never believe how many idiots paraded their stupidity in the sincere belief that they were being clever." The scathing remark quickly went viral, reigniting fierce cultural battles and drawing sharp lines between Rowling’s supporters and her critics.

Dame Diana Johnson, Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham, said she's "not interested in what men think" about gender during a Sky News interview, seemingly targeting Keir Starmer. The comment came after she was asked if Prime Minister Boris Johnson should apologize for his inability to define a woman in 2022.

Maggie Chapman emphasized that she was not accusing individual judges of bigotry, but highlighting that institutions, including the legal system, operate within a broader society where sexism and unequal power dynamics are deeply rooted. She argued that because these societal structures influence the laws that are made, it is crucial for the Scottish Parliament to work to protect trans people and service providers. Chapman stressed the need to ensure trans people can live with dignity and respect, without being demonized or portrayed as threats. She called for continued resistance against the vilification of trans communities.
