Badenoch is now asked about what would happen if a transgender woman goes to a rape crisis centre with an amended legal birth certificate that states their legal sex is female – would they be able allowed in? <\/p>\n

Badenoch says often this is “not a paperwork issue”.<\/p>\n

Rather, what is happening, she says, is people coming to these centres are “visibly of a different sex”.<\/p>\n

What about someone who has had gender reassignment surgery?, she is asked. Is only the sex at birth regarded as someone’s sex?<\/p>\n

“That is what biological sex means,” she tells the Today programme.<\/p>\n

Badenoch says what her party is “trying to do is protect women spaces” and stop men who are “predators” from exploiting transgender people and laws that protect transgender people. <\/p>\n

She is pressed again on whether someone who has had gender reassignment surgery could attend a rape crisis centre? <\/p>\n

That will depend on the service provider, Badenoch says. <\/p>\n

She adds that independent rape crisis centres can choose whether they accept transgender people. Under her party’s proposal, if they choose not to, they can not be sued, she says. <\/p>\n

Instead, the proposal is to try to stop people from exploiting the law, Badenoch explains. <\/p>\n
