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.

Great - Loughton pointing out that grassroots and junior sports need protection.

Yes. I'm impressed at how well informed most of the speakers have been, very clear, very knowledgeable, very direct.

And I'm STILL absorbing Jess Phillips' turnaround.

This is good. Whatever happens on this debate, more Labour MPs are speaking up for women.

If we don't secure clarity this time round, but Labour are coming round, then things will be Very Much Better than they could be otherwise.

I still think too many of the higher up in Labour just won't get it in time

SunnyEgg · 12/06/2023 18:24

Yes this guy

So good we get excluded

FannyCann · 12/06/2023 18:25

Just walked in and turned on to hear Luke Pollard - assigned at birth, intersex a substantial portion of our population 🙄 What a prat.

IwantToRetire · 12/06/2023 18:25

Also makes you realise some, if not all, do pay attention to campaign material.

Quite a few name checks.

This disingenuous Plymouth MP complaining that it can take seven years for someone to access "trans healthcare".

Darn right - after that long the person may not be trans anymore!

Who is this?

I'm way behind.

Thought Jess Philips made good points actually. She's still a tad on the fence and avoided acknowledging the TRAs self Id stance. But her points were women centric.

Started shedding a tear when the man who held up Joyce and stock's books started speaking.❤️

Then was interrupted for snacks again.

Felt Kirsty Blackman was proper telt.

Is it Kirsty Blackman?

Ach. I see. How fucking embarrassing for Scotland.

This guy has got Sharon Davies in too 👏

Oh god it's 5 minutes hate from Russell Lloyd Molle.

im going for a pee

chilling19 · 12/06/2023 18:26

Ah yes Russell Lloyd Molle - Mr Rage against women

eurochick · 12/06/2023 18:26

Oh god. This twat.

Can't believe he started with respect after his prior behaviour.

AutisticLegoLover · 12/06/2023 18:26

Where are you watching please?

Slothtoes · 12/06/2023 18:26

I have a lot of respect for Tim Loughton MP who is a Tory with a history of taking an interest in children’s rights and poverty. He did a fantastic speech just now on women’s sport and has been excellently briefed and name checked Fair Play for Women.

GCSE biology mention

Stoodley · 12/06/2023 18:27

5 minutes of RLM talking about RLM

SunnyEgg · 12/06/2023 18:27

Biology is simple male and female counts for law

God I loathe these Labour twats

Oh god it's 5 minutes hate from Russell Lloyd Molle.

Oh he’s going for sex isn’t binary.

Boiledbeetle · 12/06/2023 18:27

I assume all ive missed is whinge whinge whinge whinge whinge

FannyCann · 12/06/2023 18:27

Ooh. Poor Russell Moyle. So much hate. What about his behaviour to Miriam Cates? And what was it he said about teaching how to choke safely in schools? I don't think people who repeated what he said were lying.
