Apparently no one has ever had a problem with Robin stomping all over women's rights to privacy.

I do Robin! I DO!

Boiledbeetle · 12/06/2023 12:55

Robin would be forced to use the men's! Oh how terrible. What about the women who don't want to share with men?????

Why is RMW making the point about female to male people? That's the group highlighted as losing rights under "for all purposes" (which the GRA was not - see all the peerages and so on). That group would lose maternity rights.

Look over there! Me thinks rather than thinking about the person on the screen

Maya just stating robin doesnt have a GRC!

Use the men's, use the men's use the men's

Tribunal tweets will be tweeting later:

Good morning. We will be live tweeting a Westminster Hall debate later today at 4.30pm. The debate will consider two petitions relating to the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010.

How many times are the phrases most vulnerable most oppressed^ going to be used? I would suggest a drinking game but for the sake of our health probably best not.

Robin! Not Rob, bloody autocorrect!

Autocorrect knows what a woman is so is also a TERF Grin

Clocking in. I'm at work but will be having a sneaky look on here and twitter when I can.

I sent my MP the sex matters letter asking him to attend. He sent a waffley non commital reply. I thought of sending him a reminder over the weekend but decided I'd left it too late as his plans will already have been made.

I'm marking my place for discussion on how it goes. I'll try to watch live if I can.

Sex Matters have done brilliantly to get this debate. It's going to be very interesting.

I don't think that I will break the rules by suggesting that RMW identifies as someone who passes as a woman.

ResisterRex · 12/06/2023 07:50

A new thread from Sex Matters, looking at the coverage at the time of the GRA going through Parliament. Looks like they had to wade through microfiche for these clippings!

I won't watch it. I'm sure it'll make my blood boil!

AmuseBish · 11/06/2023 23:01

Hey, that's nothing to do with me!

I find these sorts of debates make me really annoyed with the superficiality and dishonesty of some of the arguments, so not sure my blood pressure can stand it. Hope it's fairly legal and logical discussion rather than veering off into what various people are like, conflating sex and gender, conflating femininity and female, etc etc.

I couldn't possibly comment, I promised HQ I'd play nice.

Do you think it will go badly?

They are debating both petitions, the one on our side, and the other one.
