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?

As a lifelong lefty/green, I'm old enough to remember when most politicians of whatever party were principled, even if I didn't agree with their politics.

It's good to know there are still principled Tories, despite the utter shit show of corruption most of the current Tory government are.

I KNOW!!! Like we don't have fucking eyes.

Is the man speaking Andrew Lewer, MP for Northampton South?

Sex observed at birth, not assigned!

He addressed the sex assigned at birth

This chap is good. Referring to the NHS confederation guidance.

Cross posted in my excitement!

And now we also have the beardy non binary blokes like the Zara guy to contend with who doesn't think he's female but makes demands to use female spaces anyway.

I think so, yes. 'Medical associations are instructing care providers to sexually assault women in the name of inclusion'

Unknown bloke - ordinary people suffer, injuring other people, sex really means sex, woman gynaecology procedure, clothes off touched intimately, specific reasons, sexual assault, religion, feeling privacy and dignity, NHSconfed - despite the express wishes his feelings override her dignity, privacy, transphobic, relatives removed, observed at birth, illegal, sexual assault,

How the fuck can DCI get this but women cannot?

are they keeping most of the dissenting voices for the end? fingers crossed

I think so. Conservative MP

Nia Griffith Labour - is the lady in purple.

Just groan - another Labour.

I'm actually getting angry finding I am agreeing with Tories - and men! aaaaargh

spoke too soon!

Luke Pollard says nonbinary is valid. Jolly good. Well done.

This man is well informed and respectful of women
Thank you
He’s bringing in NHS confederation edict from last week.
BRILLIANT, thank you thank you
Clearly spoken that we don’t care about anyone’s gender identity, patients want to know about biological sex when it’s men offering intimate care to women
bringing in BMA in same way with similar policies
Yes- it is heartless and it is sexual assault

Luke Pollard - nooooooo

Oh my god can someone explain DSDs to these numbskulls.

So Luke Pollard is the nodding donkey?

Oh here we go… (to quote someone irrelevant)

Luke Pollard, Labour

I think I may dislike that phrase even more than TWAW. What does it even mean?

Yep.

I think we just have to get over it at this point! and cry later! its an alternate political reality in my head!

Luke Pollard Labour no change

Full gender ideology
