DESCRIPTION:About\n\nBy Professor Wintemute: Since 2018\, there has been a 
 debate in the United Kingdom about whether or not the law should be change
 d to make it easier for a transgender individual to change their legal sex
  from their birth sex\, and about exceptional situations\, such as women-o
 nly spaces and sports\, in which the individual’s birth sex should take pr
 iority over their gender identity\, regardless of their legal sex. This de
 bate inspired the foundation in 2019 of an organisation\, LGB Alliance\, w
 hich rejects the political coalition of LGB and T and challenges some tran
 sgender demands\, on the basis that they conflict with the rights of lesbi
 an and bisexual women or the rights of children who might grow up to be LG
 B adults.  \n\nCHRLP note: the CHRLP invited Professor Wintemute to give t
 his talk based on his record as a human rights and LGB scholar. We note th
 at Professor Wintemute is also a trustee of the LGB Alliance. The CHRLP do
 es not endorse the views of the Alliance or of any speaker. The CHRLP is c
 ommitted to a respectful and inclusive space for debate.  \n\nSpeaker \n\n
