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?

dog whistle again

FFS

Aaarggghhhhhhh she used the suicide hyperbole. I fucking hate that!

a nation cringes

“I have no idea what chromosomes I have” wtf, surely as this is what the debate is about, you may have wanted to look that up. You should know.

I’m embarrassed for these people who only know the two words dog and whistle

Thick as mince this one.

I also should know the difference between aloud and allowed. Oh the irony. I'm cross - that's my excuse

She’s given birth so that might be a bit of a clue.

Didn't catch her name

you would think wouldn't you

I can't roll my eyes any further - they'll flip right round!

Who is this?

The following screen grabs were made at the mention of 'shall I just kill myself

I'm sad, that dress is on my wish list and now I don't think I can get it 😭

Again with the emotions. Not looking at what is happening with women.

They are saying you cant talk about it because it is hurtful to trans.

Never about what is happening to women.

I think the emphasis is on this emotional line is because they just dont want it to be said that gender identity is the same as actual sex.

She's had kids. I suspect it's pretty straightforward.

What's that saying about never investigate how laws and sausages are made? Fuck me.

She has 2 children doesn't she?

I how do people this stupid get into positions of power.

Brilliant 👏

Such good points about the ongoing court cases - blow arguments that it's all cool & just a few outlying issues are being cited as evidence of wide-ranging confusion utterly out of the water.

Joanna Cherry 🥰

IAmSarah got a mention.

ooh @IamSarah mention

We are all Joanna Cherry listening to Kirsty Blackman talking about her fanny
