Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pledged to amend the Equality Act to recognise 'sex' as 'biological sex'

GB News host Camilla Tominey lambasted a transgender campaigner over the latest trans row to be sparked by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

This comes as Sunak has pledged to "amend" the Equality Act to recognise "biological sex" if his party wins the General Election.


However, transgender campaigners have criticised the move as it would see transgender men and women not recognised under the gender which they now identify.

Discussing the pledged changes on GB News, SEE Change Happen founder Joanne Lockwood questioned how they would police the term "biological", fuming: "Are we doing inspections? Are we asking people to lift their skirts up and drop their knickers and say, what have you got between your legs?"

Camilla was in support of the proposed changes and argued that "women's only spaces should be for biological women only".

She explained: "She's saying that biological means your biological sex at birth. Surely that's the fairest way to assess it."

Lockwood hit back and argued that biological women "don't need to prove that they are women" in order to enter women's only spaces.

She asked Camilla: "How do you yourself prove you're a woman and able to access these spaces? This is where this term biological sex becomes ludicrous.

"How do you and other biological women prove that they are biological women? I have a birth certificate. I have a passport. I have a driving license. I've had various operations and surgery. I can prove that I'm a woman. Can you prove that you're a woman?"

Camilla hit back at Lockwood, stating: "I don't need to prove I'm a woman. Women who aren't presenting as transgender women don't need to prove anything, because they're not claiming that they want to use other people's spaces.

"There are some transgender people who said it's not about toilets. Well, why then do you care which toilet you use?"

Lockwood then argued: "What do you care who's in your toilet, then? What's the big deal about toilets?"

Camilla interjected, responding: "I'll tell you why we worry about toilets. We worry about toilets because we worry about our daughters.

"Toilets are seen by young girls, particularly when they've just started their periods, that's seen as a kind of it's a place of sort of solace, privacy and sanctity."

She added: "It's put girls off from using the toilets, and some girls have ended up with urinary tract infections. That's why it's important."

Lockwood admitted: "I'm not saying that it's not important to some people, and I fully accept that we need to ensure that predatory men are kept out of spaces that are designed to be safe. I completely support that.

"But I am not, and people I know are not threats to women, threats to girls. We are not predatory. What Kemi is trying to do is use the trans argument against trans women."
