During questions to the Minister for Women and Equalities in the House of Commons, a number of MPs also chose to highlight transwomen competing in female sports and gender-neutral toilets as issues impacting women's safety.

Labour MP Rosie Duffield (Canterbury), pictured, referred to a report from the Women's Rights Network, a campaign group which claims to "defend the sex-based rights of women."
