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?

Thanks @Ereshkigalangcleg
All that woe is me, mean people on the internet telling lies about me wanting to teach children porn or whatever it was he said. 💩 💩 💩

who is this woman i wasn't paying attention

Not sure, she's good tho.

I'm now so hypermy fingers are shaping. Who is speaking now, mentioning IamSarah?

I couldn't hear her name

Another for clarity

Not sure who it was

I'm so glad they're getting close to the damage this is doing to trans rights as well - or its potential to do this - re. data collection, lack of understanding & bad faith debate...

Have just followed that person (and quickly liked and unliked their tweet because my workplace is captured).

I think that was Caroline Ansell, Conservative MP for Eastbourne.

Caroline Ansell, the Conservative MP for Eastbourne?

Silly me. Of course it would be a tory.

This is now Anna Firth.

Anna Firth up now, I think. Conservative

Neale Hanvey

Love what he said, and love the Suffragette tie!

KB- thick as pig shit. How can people vote for this woman?

You don't want that rocket dress. I thought she was wearing pyjamas, seems to be past her bedtime.

Anna Firth Conservative for clarity and change

Make it clear that males cannot be in women sports, prisons or changing rooms

Kirsty Blackman- newsflash, just like your trans constituents, women just want to do their shopping in peace and to be able to go to the loo in peace too. Without blokes in there!

Firth is good - prisons, health, sport.

Shush now, women aren't special people and how do we even know what anyone is anyway?! We could all be virtually any sex at all!

Firth - “it’s a simple clarification”.

Thank you to the NHS Confederation (or whatever they're called) for their exquisite timing, like Isla Bryson.

Anna Firth Conservative for clarity and change - I'm not even a Labour Party member but feel embarrassed for them.

All these Tory women standing up for women's sex based rights.

Firth - again nice and clear

Thank you to the NHS Confederation (or whatever they're called) for their exquisite timing, like Isla Bryson.

Oh yes!
