"It's a large complex issue," Labour Minister of State for Secondary Care Karin Smyth told Times Radio when asked what changing room trans women should use now, "so that's why people have to be very clear on that guidance."

"Look, I think we need to make sure that in this discussion we are following both the law so that is clear for women and for service providers and you know... this varies upon what the provision of those service providers are. Large organisations, smaller organisations, many smaller organisations," she said. "Because some will have unisex provisions there might only be one bathroom, one changing room in an organisation."

She was then asked to provide more clarity for the public, and she said, "Female changing rooms should be used by women."

When asked where trans women should get changed, she continued to dodge the question.

"It's important that a trans woman or a trans man also has dignity in their use of public spaces," she said. "The use of public spaces is also a wider issue for all sorts of people who feel they don't have access to public spaces."
