commonsbusiness.parliament.uk/document/45568/html

LGBT rights.... mentioned a bazillion times already

'the war had been won' 'rounding up the prisoners' 'tidying up'

wtf is he on about?

this bill has nothing to do with LGBT (apart from tm and I don't think he thinks about them)

Did Crispin Blunt just call Stonewall's refocus from LGB to T as 'rounding up the prisoners, tidying up' after winning the war?

GRA?! What the fuck is this man on about?!!! This is MATERNITY

It's not about LGBT rights, Crispin, it's about WOMEN's rights. Which, although you won't recognise the fact - all biological women, no matter how they identify, come under. What a tool.

A waffling eejit.

he's on about the GRA reform, self-id, gender health services - whaattt

trans people under full on attack. In 'the other place' (HoL) they make it sound like the other way round - 'full on attack on women's rights' Lord Lucas needs to turn the ball around and see what it is like from the other side (trans rights)

I am just aghast at the arrogance and idiocy of this man.

more about 'what trans people are seeing'

Has he even used the word 'mother' yet?

Don't worry End, everyone can see what a twit he is.

Having listened to the whole debate on Thursday this is so upsetting. What a nasty and stupid man he is.

I hope Johanna takes him to task.

The Heritage Foundation ? Is that a US term?

Donald Trump? WTF.

Tories have agreed to the changes. Labour support the changes.

Blunt is a Conservative. His blatherings sound ludicrous

Christ Crispin Blunt is a knob.

'but of course, I was very, very, drunk'

the newspapers are carrying anti-trans stories without supporting evidence.

this amendment in a bill dealing with the maternity arrangements generating an extraordinary amount of debate 'out of nowhere' regarding a technical issue

LGB Alliance haven't got an interest in wider LGBT rights.

Trump is on about women in sport

Heritage Foundation - whaatt.

threats from trans people do not exist.

Crispin implying that the word mother is an entirely technical clarification in the Bill.

Irrelevant waffle.

'trans women pose no threat to women'

don't anyone ever mention Karen White

KAREN WHITE!

Crispin is seething

Trans Women pose no threat - what great news - we can all relax now

an innocuous sounding amendment in a tiny bill resolving one ministers maternity leave is not the place to discuss the wider issue.

trans rights should not come at the expense of women's rights BUT....tw no threat but need to address this.

changes forced and must not undermine the position of the govt to see trans rights properly established.
