LGBT Humanists UK have pre-filled the answers for you.

My, very biased, interpretation would be to see that it sings, "The Wheels On The Bus" after throwing women under the wheels.

However, there is rather more nuance to it than my summary indicates and your response might be different. And for all I know the membership has been fully consulted and is in full-throated support.

LGBT Humanists has responded in support of this change, submitting that gender dysphoria should not be considered a medical disorder and that its classification as such has negative consequences for transgender people, both in terms of the legal process of transitioning and in encountering social stigma and prejudice. At the same time, LGBT Humanists notes that this is not proposed to – and should not – lead to any reduction in legal protections on grounds of sex.

If gender dysphoria is not a medical disorder then transgenderism is a lifestyle choice and it is completely unreasonable and disproportionate to change how society is organised in an attempt to meet that lifestyle choice.

If it said "legal and practical protections" it might be a reasonable statement. Albeit naive.
