Sir Keir Starmer said his views on gender issues 'start with biology' in yet another U-turn after previously saying he thought women could have a penis.
The Labour leader said he backed blocking trans women from female-only hospital wards and prisons following the Government's proposed changes to the NHS constitution.
The changes will see trans women banned from female-only wards and also give female patients the right to request to be treated by a doctor of the same sex for intimate care.
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain about the proposed changes, Sir Keir said: 'There's a distinction between sex and gender. The Labour Party has championed women's rights for a very long time.'
The Labour leader has repeatedly faced questions about his views on transgender issues.
He has previously said that '99.9% of women' do not have a penis and in 2021 he said it was 'not right' for Labour MP Rosie
