Team of ministers looking at trans policy

[Imnobody4]

Have just come across this item in questions to Women &Equalities Dept.
I didn't know about this, did anyone else.

Liz McInnesShadow Minister (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs)

In the response to the consultation on the Gender Recognition Act 2004, what consideration is being given to the approach of the International Association of Athletics Federations and its use of testosterone levels to determine whether a trans athlete competes in a women’s or a men’s race?

Penny MordauntThe Secretary of State for International Development, Minister for Women and Equalities

The hon. Lady raises an important issue, although it is slightly separate from the very narrow remit of the Gender Recognition Act. Every Department is facing all sorts of issues in relation to trans people, so we have brought together a team of Ministers and officials across Government to make sure that policy is where it needs to be. I have also had separate meetings with the Minister for Sport to discuss both elite and community sport. Many of these decisions, particularly at the elite level, are for sporting bodies to lead on, although there are safety issues as well. I can assure her that these will be ongoing meetings across all Departments and that we will make sure that every Department provides services and support and has the right policies in place for modern times.

Every Department? Hmmm, wondering what trans issues are being discussed at Defra.

Looking at the transcript makes me much less happy:-

"And there is a particularly strong imperative to support the rights of trans people in the workplace. In fact worries about different documents with different gender markers can make trans people fearful about even applying for a job. The government wants to make this process, and the wider experience of being trans, much easier. We want to reform the way that trans people can legally change their gender, and make the process far less bureaucratic and intrusive. We held a public consultation last year on how best to do this, and we received more than 100,000 responses and we’re working hard to analyse them and will publish our response very shortly"

"Hmmm, wondering what trans issues are being discussed at Defra.

Some trans exclusionaty radical farmers still don't accept that transcows are cows.

And they keep insisting on making milk and baby cows via quick visual inspection based on biological fact as opposed to intensive individual interview.

It is about time they started using that male -breastfeeding- milking kit
Get a lot out of a bull, you know.

I don’t seek to convince you today that everything is going according to plan

The plan being that they could slip this all under the radar without women noticing until it was too late? Why does she hate women so much?

What plan mordaunt. What was your plan

To ditch women and girls for ur mates at stonewall

This is one of the slides from the Stonewall conference today. See sex on that slide? Or even gender? Nope. Women are not discriminated any more in Stonewall's brave new world. We have been eradicated altogether

Wtf Orchid.

That's...i can't even.
