Am looking forward to tomorrow’s debate on the Equality Act. Anyone else planning to watch it?

I have no idea, Pushka! It all just feels very tense.

Through my fingers, probably.

Do you think it will go badly?

I’ll definitely try to if work allows - good luck to everyone taking part in this debate and thanks to Sex Matters for their hard work around it informing MPs in advance

Apparently Politics Live will be having a debate with a trans person and Maya at 1pm tomorrow.

Could be interesting as the TRAs have traditionally been ‘we’re not a debate’ when for months politicians have been debating ‘what is a woman’ (maybe ask the woman who birthed you 🤷🏼‍♀️).

4.30pm https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/326/petitions-committee/news/195562/the-definition-of-sex-in-the-equality-act-2010-to-be-debated-by-mps/.

My Labour MP is a tiny island of red in the Kent blue sea. And she speaks for women.

4.30. I might go in person if work allows

Stoodley · 11/06/2023 20:24

Yes I plan to watch it. It’ll be interesting to see if any of the trans extremist MPs talk.

Cuckoosheep · 11/06/2023 20:24

What time is it on please?

Violetparis · 11/06/2023 20:20

I am, will be interesting to see which MPs from all parties are there.

My Labour MP very much knows what a woman is and I know she’ll make her voice heard.
