Labour unions say they will boycott the party's women's conference after it was revealed transgender individuals would be excluded. "The union’s decided against sending a delegation to Labour women’s conference this year," a spokesman for the union declared. A spokesman confirmed: "The union’s decided against sending a delegation to Labour women’s conference this year. "This is because the party has excluded trans women, which runs counter to Usdaw’s policy on trans equality." "For decades, trans women members have had a home in Labour’s structures, and it’s not acceptable that they’re being so blatantly excluded," a spokesman said.
