Hansard will post transcript (might already be up). This page will let you watch the debate.

I haven’t seen this mentioned here, only just realised it was on. I managed to watch some of this, usual culprits. Interestingly several Labour MPs wanted to stress the same figures and points, almost as if their lines were written by a specialist interest group? [cough cough Stonewall cough].

just read the transcript , all the MPs patting themselves and each other on the back. Yes, they pointed out the real violence carried out on gay and lesbian people in other countries as well as trans ( did not mention those countries that allow trans but not gay) but no recognition of the problems with men rights versus women's. Particularly infuriated by Mhairi Black who is not listening to women's concerns and is pushing hard for self ID legislation . The list of groups helping MPs of course includes Mermaids...there's a surprise. Deeply shocked that only one MP turned up to the standing for women event also today, where the reality of what is going on for children and teens was discussed. Will now contact my MP with records of that meeting.

I thought Angela Eagle was paying some kind of coded reference to there being some issues with conflict of rights of discussion different groups. She did talk about women’s rights under threat, although that seemed to be from right wing regimes rather than Trans rights of course.
Crispin Blunt went with the totally fabricated trans suicide stats and Mhairi Black, well, I am speechless, and believe me that doesn’t happen often.

A packed house in honour of such an important day.

Fanny Cann yes, that’s right, standing room only! The lack of interest was the only thing that I could joyfully take from the whole thing.

That and no show from Penny Mordaunt.

Black is entirely and utterly beguiled by the whole trans bandwagon. She won't hear any views or concerns.

Anyone in Enfield Southgate, you might want to know that your MP, Bambos Charalambous believes that Trans Women are Women. You may wish to remind him that he has a small majority.

Clearly not the only thing he has that's small...
