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?

The woman the gender pointer gave way to talking about dsds, she underminded her point by pointing out two relatively common types. One which affects women and one which affects men 🤡

Yes it is (astounding) that Phillips has finally come out (ha) but the real kudos will always be due to our Rosie who has been steadfast through. Thank you Rosie.

Purple top woman isn't making the point she thinks she made 😆

If someone can dress up as a gas meter person and enter a property to offend OF COURSE someone can pre tend to be trans to offend

It's obviously very hot in there. They are fanning themselves like crazy, jackets coming off, glugging water. Temperature of the debate has been pretty moderate so far. Hope it stays that way.

God, is Molle he still going on.

god i shudder when I hear his voice, he makes every 'hes a wrong un' alarm go off

prat

No the real tragedy is adult human females being ignored

How’s he still going

Fuck off with your dog whistle, you’re a dog whistle

Who’s this

I'm pleasantly surprised at how well informed the tories are on this, I thought that apart from a small group they were probably just enjoying using it as a stick to beat Labour with. But the range of impacts they are aware of is really good.

Labour, meh, but for a couple of notable exceptions they are a bit amateur hour, so far

Agree with you seahorses
it’s about women’s rights (which always includes transmen of course)
it’s a debate about biological sex

?? dont know

'Dogwhistle' off the bingo-card.

Missed who this is

Loads of post it notes marking important passages! Love it! Old school research xxx

Why is it the trans 'community'? Are we the women community?

They haven’t used it as a stick once

Whereas Labour, all the TWAW have is the stick

Taking of wind up

😂😂

Probably smells, as well.

God all these men understanding what women go through. who'd have thunk it. where have they all been for the last ten years

does anyone know who this man is?

I feel like she's maybe been given the green light from somewhere. Paves the way for Starmer on the campaign trail perhaps. Rosie unfairly still seen as 'controversial' but he can point to Jess as a 'voice of reason'.

The argument has been carefully worked out to avoid controversy.

She's also distracted any further criticism by pointing out whatever the next debate was re some sort of funding for domestic abuse things.

It's good though as her point is exactly EA friendly; separate provisions needed for women. And other groups.

Jonathan Gullis

Can't remember who, but they were quite angry claiming that trans women are being made out to be predators. - I liked the near miss analogy. I do hope that someone points out the stats I've seen on here regarding % of trans women convicted of sexual violence compared to general male population.
