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?

Well that was rage inducing from the TWAW numpties

Love that the mic picked up Jess Phillips saying 'I don't want to walk around in a towel with men next to me' as they were walking out there

I can't bear to watch/listen to this so I'm reading your comments while listening to the audiobook "A jury of her peers".

15 minute break for voting in the chamber

Oooh - Jess P interrupting Russel wotsit to tell him that many women don't like the mixed sex changing rooms he's oh so keen on!

Wow - Jess Phillips saying that sports facilities with mixed sex changing rooms should include separate female only facilities too.

You could just hear her saying something about hating being around men when just wrapped in a towel.

Will definitely look that up!

i think they've all gone for a quick scream, to punch a wall and have a stiff drink after that whiny horrible obnoxious little scrote

Jess Philips towel comment, excellent!

Bloody hell Jess. Yes!

How long has this taken?

I know we should be pleased but she could have said this years back and also stuck up for Rosie D.

Goodness - Jess Philips again speaking up for biological women - must have had her weatabix this morning or something.

Labour will be putting her on the naughty step.

So is it going to come done to choice between boring horrid hard facts or lovely emotional feelings where reality is ignored?

Well that's a turn up for the books - to hear another Labour woman MP having to courage to speak against labour bullies.

Still a bit amazed that Jess Phillips has come out to bat..

they sound even more deranged when they get slotted in between the sensible voices

Sorry not up on my parliamentary process, what's a division and why do they all need to evacuate the room for 15 minutes because of it?

it had to happen eventually

other parliamentary shit going on i think (very technical from me)

Russell Moyle was appalling
All hurt feels

They’re off to vote on a Bill in the HoC.

I bet he got so much crap at school!

The intersex interjection said 'x amount of women and y amount of men exist'. Yes love, because sex is binary.

Who is the woman pretending to be Jess Phillips? Saying 'women want spaces away from men'! Crikey.

They’re a difficult listen. It’s also clear they try to use the political nonsense that women don’t actually care

We do

So what’s after this? Is there much hope of the action being taken?

Thanks for all the commentary folks, I'm not able to watch live.

Silly question but are there no Lib Dems? I know they're fully captured but I thought there might be some representation. I'm cheesed off as their deputy is my MP and she's reasonable in other respects yet won't speak up for women and children re. gender ideology. Ambitions for leadership I presume 🤷‍♀️

What system is this that they take breaks in the middle of someone's speech?

Just seen Maya behind that bloke who reminds me of a newsreader who had the good crack on the oxfam cartoon.
