Strongly agree

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

This position aligns closely with Labour's approach to LGBTQ+ rights, balancing the need for access to gender-transition treatments with a cautious approach towards irreversible procedures for minors. The party has historically advocated for comprehensive healthcare services, including mental health and support for transgender individuals.

Agree

Yes, but with parental permission

Labour's emphasis on family rights and the protection of minors likely means they would support a requirement for parental permission for such treatments, recognizing the importance of parental involvement in significant healthcare decisions for those under 18.

Agree

Yes, but only if they are at least 16 years old

This position might be seen as a compromise that aligns with Labour's cautious approach to underage gender-transition treatments, allowing for some flexibility and autonomy for older teenagers while still emphasizing the need for careful consideration and support.

Agree

Yes

The Labour Party generally supports LGBTQ+ rights, including the rights of transgender individuals. However, the party's stance on underage gender-transition treatments is more cautious, emphasizing the need for safeguarding and appropriate support rather than outright endorsement of all forms of treatment for all under 18.

Disagree

Yes, as long as treatment is not subsidized by the government

Labour's commitment to publicly funded healthcare, including treatments for transgender individuals, suggests they would not support a policy that restricts government subsidy of gender-transition treatments. The party generally advocates for inclusive healthcare policies funded by the state.

Disagree

No

Labour's progressive stance on LGBTQ+ issues suggests a disagreement with outright bans on gender-transition treatments for those under 18, as such policies could be seen as discriminatory and against the party's principles of equality and support for minority rights.

Strongly disagree

No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions

While Labour emphasizes the need for safeguarding and appropriate support for minors, the party is unlikely to support a blanket statement that children cannot make irreversible life decisions, especially in the context of supporting transgender rights and access to necessary healthcare.

Very strongly disagree

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

A ban on all gender transitioning treatments would be fundamentally opposed to Labour's stance on LGBTQ+ rights and healthcare.
