CONSERVATIVE Party leadership frontrunner Kemi Badenoch says children cannot be transgender and warns it is "critical" they are not allowed to make irreversible decisions.
The Shadow Cabinet minister "fundamentally disagreed" with the idea that a child can be trans.
She suggested the phrase "genderquestioning" was more appropriate.
Facing questions from website Mumsnet in the final days of the contest to be Tory leader, Mrs Badenoch raised concerns about claims that there are "24 different genders".
She said: "We have to make sure that we don't lose touch with reality."
