What is wrong with these people?

What, Jamie ‘fled the scene of an accident while wearing a black leather PVC miniskirt, tights, dark shoes and a pearl necklace’ Wallis? (to quote the strangely specific Wikipedia entry)

jamie Wallis of whom the judge said he didn’t find him credible when he was found guilty of failing to stop and report an accident, fined£2,500 and disqualified from driving for 6 months?

he seems a great choice

🤯

"Excited"

I bet you are... <-- not envy

That is +1

Eurgh TMI

Don't think Trans Widows Voices will be invited to give evidence again while he is on the committee

So they took two men off and replaced them with two men?

That's two blokes out, two blokes in then?

Interesting to see the other man appointed - Mark Jenkinson - retweeting this.

'The Women and Equalities Committee will question the Equality and Human Rights Commission (ECHR) on its recent UN re-accreditation process, 2021-22 annual report, and new three-year strategic plan in its regular scrutiny of the body.'

Mark Jenkinson is solidly GC from everything I've seen on Twitter.

No idea what Wallis will bring to the party, has anyone ever seen him comment on any equalities issue whatsoever other than his own transness?

No idea, Fenlandia. Wondering what he'll have to say on teh Women's Health Strategy and menopause in the workplace, currently being discussed in the latest meeting of the WESC.

I guess that appointment is a handy tick box exercise.

Thank god there's someone on the committee with sense.

I notice some particularly fuckwitted responses to that tweet, though.

If nothing else, Jammie's appointment prompted me to look up the WESC and watch this new meeting with the ECHR, I suppose.

Discussing amending the Equality Act as I watch on catch up.

"What is wrong with these people?"
We keep electing dunderheads, despite their obvious dunderheadedness.

Baroness Falkner says they are looking at various areas and discussing 'clarification' of the EA. I am guessing this is about single sex exemptions?

Who appoints to this committee and what is the process?

Because this appointment will bring so much sunlight I suspect a gender critical mole.

Bring it on.

Agree, Critical. I celebrate Jamie Wallis getting maximum coverage and air time. Jamie is a wonderful blast of sunlight that illustrates why women want and need single SEX spaces.

Don't go there ArabellaScott, have you seen this menopause advisor 😐?

JFC. I don't want to discuss the menopause with Cynthia. No, thank you.
