Debate relating to the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 will be in Westminster Hall on 12 June 2023 4:30pm

[IwantToRetire]

Just posting this as on a thread elsewhere I made some disparaging remarks that the debate will be shuffled off to some small committee room.

But they must think that more than a few MPs are wanting to take part as I have just seen it will be in Westminster Hall.

Will be interesting to see which MPs are willing to state views about the reality of biological sex in public!

Event will be broadcast live.

(*) Not sure what this means - is she the Chair?

I was just thinking the same myself. At least they are making coherent sensible points.

Ok Jess - are you coming off the fence finally?

IDK

I feel the fence is hovering

Anyone else notice that the MPs agreeing with the clarification of the equality act have all mentioned that they have compassion for Trans People but the TWAW MPs have not mentioned women and girls at all?

all about the emotional blackmail and spouting bullshit about homophobia with no evidence

YES JESSS

Jess Phillips saying very clearly she has suffered discrimination on the basis of her sex, ie her biology and that is different from gender.

Because all they have is telling people they are being stirred up by culture wars

And it’s muddled and based on non truths

They cannot listen to women and girls first

Am pleasantly surprised by Jess Phillips!

Yes!!!

Finally.

Thank you, Jess.

That was unexpected from JP

Good we might stand a chance if they’re not all Angela Eagle types

the needs of different groups ... LGBT victims ... specialist services. This is great to hear.

Bloody hell, I never thought I’d hear her say that!

JP - it is devastating that women's only services are being closed down in favour of generic support services.
There is confusion and fear about the law and it is the responsibility of parliament to clarify it. It should not be left to the courts.

I am aghast - Phillips has nailed her colours to the mast! This means that Labour is now seeing the light otherwise she would not have done this. She is all about what is in it for her.

Now PB - Sir Peter Bottomley (Conservative)

That's telling. That Government wont include specifying women (biological) only services.

If only more women working in the "VAW Sector" had stood up and spoken up about the need for sex based rights / services.

Shows how when speaking from personal experience. Wouldn't normally thank JP but will today.

Blimey - didn't realise Peter Bottomley was still an MP!

Pleasantly surprised so far!

Peter Bottomley - supporting Joyce and Stock. He publically stood up for Stock when she was bullied out of Sussex Uni.

JESS PHILLIPS?!!?

Fuck me, the tide must be nearly all the way out if she's finally speaking up for reality.

Has that colossal disappointment Ben Bradshaw spoken yet?

About blooming time!
