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?

"Case by case does not work"

Ain't that the truth.

100%. Perfect illustration, perfect timing.

I agree - well said

Firth - clearly explaining how service providers are put in a very difficult position when it comes to the single sex exceptions.

Yes stood against Rosie in Canterbury last election, And at a hustings at a University spoke about Canterbury's four Universities (there are three) and tried to tell academics at the hosting University that they were wrong (the other 'university' is in fact a language school). 😂

Glad she's making more sense today!

Fallon Fox 'that was a man'. Yes. Thank you.

Oh, god. Mhairi Black. Can I just say not all Scottish women are this bad?

I think that the tide has turned but the TWAW just haven't caught up with this.

This new chair if making a right mess of it.

Ah, no, it's Kirsty 'decapitate terfs'

oh its decapitate terf sign woman isnt it?

Oh noes! She thinks people aren't being kind enough with their tone / words. Oh dear....

.

what a way to be remembered in history decapitate terfs mp

This woman is an absolute bore

Thick as mince, I'm afraid.

How can Kirsty Blackman make a speech like that and think it's OK?

As others have said, the difference in quality / knowledge / facts etc between the mainly Tory MPs with some excellent speeches versus the emotive rambling contributions from labour is embarrassing.

im surprised she can see the words on that page considering she cant see a frigging sign right by her head

Kirsten Oswald is the Scottish National Party MP for East Renfrewshire

Let’s hear about women’s rights…..but not those ones…

Oh lordy, she’s asking for a bill for women’s employment rights but can’t actually define a woman.

So this woman SNP keep as is, no change

I am a long way behind on this thread, but this is why I have quite often said on here that women do need to speak out in real life. Women need to be honest and open with employers, friends, family, and it is not good enough to rely on others to do so. Because that gives the other side the massive opportunity to say "well no-one said anything". Integrity is far deeper than honesty. I know that I have lost friends over this ridiculous situation and I work in education. But this issue is so important. Anyway - off to read the rest of the posts!

This isn't about trans - it is about women.

And how can she tell the difference between predators and non-predatory men?? Before they prove they're predators, obviously...
