Well that's according to pink news who seem to have their own hotline to the Women and Equalities Committee.

"Minister for Women and Equalities Penny Mordaunt said that the LGBT Policy Team would publish its response to the GRA “shortly,” alongside findings on a Call for Evidence on issues faced by people with variations in sex characteristics.

It will also report on its research into the number of young trans people in the UK, and on how it will end conversion therapy."

I've tried searching to .gov.uk site but cant find any statement about this.

Although lost at the end of the LGBT Action Plan Annual Report is this comment:

"We will publish our response to the findings of the Gender Recognition Act consultation. The Government Equalities Office is analysing the results and intends to respond to the consultation this year. We will also publish the findings of the variations in sex characteristics and non-binary Calls for Evidence this year."

Which of course just confirms that women's issues are just subsumed within everyone else's.

Maybe someone else can find some more overt statement.

I suspect that will get the same analysists as the Corporation of London and anyone who queried the misuse of the word gender for sex will have all their responses binned. Angry

Yes well Mordaunt also said she was going to mount an investigation into ROGD which she has never mentioned again.

With a PM (and therefore Mordaunt's job) hanging in the balance, I doubt she is in a position to make any assurances.

Yes we can't stop this as it's what the government want.
But reminding people they are allowed to think and explaining what is happening will mean more and more of the public won't follow.
