Socialism or Ultra-Liberalism? The Left’s Defining Choice
The entire trans debate is coming to a head, and the left is fracturing along predictable lines. The Girl Guides have reversed their 2017 policy and banned males who identify as women from their ranks. The Women’s Institute, which has welcomed women since the 1970s, has followed suit. Meanwhile, Your Party, the newly formed outfit claiming to be a socialist alternative, has overwhelmingly voted to enshrine “trans liberation” in its founding documents. These demands, backed enthusiastically by Zarah Sultana, come from the Trans Liberation Group, an extremist faction that wants to defy the Supreme Court, unwind women’s rights, and rewrite the Equality Act itself.
Here is what you are left with: socialism or ultra-liberalism. You cannot have both.
Let us be clear about what the Supreme Court actually ruled. In April 2025, the UK’s highest court delivered a unanimous judgment in For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers. It confirmed what most people already knew: that “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 means biological sex. A woman is an adult human female. A man is an adult human male. A Gender Recognition Certificate does not change this legal reality. The ruling did not strip trans people of protections. They remain protected under the characteristic of gender reassignment. What it did was clarify that women’s sex-based rights, fought for over generations, cannot simply be wished away by ministerial guidance or ideological capture.The Vitruvian Woman.

The Trans Liberation Group’s response? Overturn it. Their demands are explicit: amend the Equality Act to make “sex” mean “current lived sex”, ban “gender-critical” beliefs from protection, allow self-identification for all purposes including prisons, abolish the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and legally enshrine the right not to disclose one’s trans status to sexual partners. They want children to access cross-sex hormones without parental consent, puberty blockers for minors, and hormone replacement therapy available over the counter. They want gender ideology taught in schools as fact, not debate.
