Just pointing this out, separate from any threads it may have been mentioned on, so people not involved on those threads can be aware.

Does anyone know where/when it will be published?

How does this compare to other debates on the issue? The small amount I've been able to see it looks much grander and better attended than previous iterations (I'm thinking back to Layla Moran and her soul seeing eyes). The needle really has moved massively!

Mohammed says no trans people in his constituency have come to him with any concerns about accessing women's spaces

Bloody hell he's rattling on

Make your point man

TRA MP jumps up to try and score points on terminology

terminology is basically all they've got, so no surprise really

I like what he is saying, but I do get tired of the "kind caveat" so many of these men feel the need to start their statements with

He's on our "side" but he's definitely covering his arse with his constituents

Editing my post to say actually I'm not convinced he is on our "side" after all

Women's rights have been less and diminished for centuries. Healthcare, maternity, pay gap, etc.

Here we are questioning the fundamental biology of women.

SC was clear. We expected gaslighting and aggression to recede. But here we are a year later... govt is dilly dallying

Reaffirm the principle - judgments of our highest court must be respected and implemented.

I hold myself fully responsible for this development 😁 Yesterday afternoon, I wrote to Antonia Romeo, first female head of the civil service (irony) and known trans advocate, saying that her objective of having a civil service that was judged on delivery was bring imperilled by the drift on this issue, which has an impact on the safety of half the population. I ended by suggesting that the very least that could be done is to confirm publicly a date by which the ECHR guidance will be published. And what's happened today....?

Seriously, though, Labour's stance on this has already damaged it and will lose it lots of votes. All we have learnt today is that the draft guidance has been tinkered with and that the revised draft will be laid before Parliament next month.

IM says govt has been dilly dallying and sitting on its arse sitting on the ruling for too long

Somebody Mohammed up now. I think Labour? Issue has been weaponised. Confusion that we are debating what a woman is in 2026.

Looks like Iqbal Mohamed, Independent MP.

Kinsters · 14/04/2026 15:07

Thanks so much to those reporting, I cannot get the video or audio to work.

N irish MP confirming there is no difference between RuK law and N Ireland's apllication of the EA

And saying there's no difference between women in NI, women in Scotland and women elsewhere in the UK - loved that bit!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think the revision will simply be a bigger range of suggestions about how to provide some gender neutral alternatives, or how to signpost to alternative services nearby, for example. So that most providers can find at least one that works in their situation and enables them to feel certain that they are not discriminating against the PC of GR when they provide a single-sex service based on biology.

Yes, more concrete examples of how you can include a mixed sex or neutral facility, alongside 'single sex' where you have them.

That’s Dr Caroline Johnson, paediatrician and Conservative MP.

Woman in green speaking great sense. Not sure who she is.

'Difference betwren someone with a DSD and a man who wants to call himself a woman.'

Raquelos · 14/04/2026 15:02

Anyone know who she actually is (the TRA I mean) ? I keep missing her name

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:01

Is she a TRA or actually a GC undercover? She's making such easily rebutted points

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:00

Tra now.asking about intersex

So, various things can/will happen with the Code of Practice in May re its laying before Parliament:

  • Phillipson loses her seat - not her problem any more

  • Phillipson retains her seat, but is reshuffled to a different role - not her problem any more

  • Phillipson retains her seat, is not reshuffled - now it's still her problem

  • Phillipson retains her seat, gets involved in (another) leadership bid - kicks problem down the road again

It's all so cynical 🙄

Phillipson won't lose her seat in May. The elections are local.
