Parliament won't use the word SEX

[MrsSnippyPants]

This is ridiculous.

Why do they have a function to search by 'gender' (sex?) that's so weird.

Do they have search mechanisms for the other protected characteristics- age, sexuality etc? That's bizarre. Why would you need to do that?

Also how are you supposed to know the internal gender id of the person you are searching? Esp non binary..?

Have MPs been asked to declare if they're non binary?

I have no idea.

That search function is totally bizarre.

Maybe it's to make it easier for angry men to find female MPs to target?

I honestly can't think of why it's there.

I bet that search box can't cope when someone identifies their gender as “Any”.

I wonder if new MPs were asked to state their gender?
Anybody know one?!

Also how are you supposed to know the internal gender id of the person you are searching? Esp non binary..?

You have to guess.
Here's a masterclass in 'guess my gender'

Turns out they're all male or female. No Non-Binaries:

MPs are in charge of their own business and can change this. The Moggsters once objected to the HoC restaurant having a Menu which was forrin and demanded it be replaced with an English Bill of Fare.

So do we need to find an MP who is willing to challenge this?
