Boris Johnson has said that “biological males should not be competing in female sporting events”.
Speaking to broadcasters on a hospital visit on Wednesday, the prime minister said of his view: “It just seems to me to be sensible.”
He continued: “I also happen to think that women should have spaces – whether it is in hospitals or prisons or changing rooms or wherever – which are dedicated to women.”
The PM added: “That doesn’t mean that I am not immensely sympathetic to people that want to change gender, to transition and it is vital that we give people the maximum possible love and support in making those decisions.”
Mr Johnson’s comments came as it was confirmed that plans for a landmark global LGBT conference in the UK this summer were cancelled after more than 100 groups pulled out following changes to plans to ban conversion therapy.
