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.

'proper considration and time'
'timeline'
'complex issues'

Now Reem gets a mention!

Tories are fence sitting.

There we go, then. They're not going to do what they promised. MN, you called it.

Brilliant

Well, yes, there's be a diversity of views - it's a debate! So isn't the issue, rather which side was more dominant & convincing? Cos I think that's clear...

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

Exactly what I was thinking.

Not all women give birth, but ONLY women give birth.

IwantToRetire · 12/06/2023 19:45

She's reading from a prepared speech not speaking in responses to what has been said.

So this is the Tories saying we mustn't rush into anything.

So no outcome from today.

Not giving up yet

We’ve seen Labour’s position. Dog whistle tastic

Fuck that

Catiette · 12/06/2023 19:46

The legal position of the law is weak if it is pre-prepared!

Slothtoes · 12/06/2023 19:47

They’re sending all their love to everyone in the trans community again, this time because Jamie Wallis has left the room. How can people stomach these embarrassing pats on the head?

God I wish they gave one millionth of that level of concern to actually vulnerable women and children.

Today, a mother of three kids including one with special needs, got sent to actual prison for having an illegal abortion in England. No help, concern, intervention or support for her or her kids. Fucking prison. It’s disgusting.

Boiledbeetle · 12/06/2023 19:47

no problem with trans women just want men out of my space

'Mindful of our language and tone'

Aye, decaptitate terfs tho, eh?

chilling19 · 12/06/2023 19:47

I have said for a long time, that adult human females should go on strike for a day. Like the women of Iceland. No violence just a bit of a sit down. Fed up of women not being listened to FOR YEARS. We have to make politicians realise what power we have. www.futurelearn.com/info/courses/a-global-history-of-sex-and-gender/0/steps/168422

Catiette · 12/06/2023 19:47

Clearer with quote marks. "The legal position of the law" is weak if it is pre-prepared!

TinselAngel · 12/06/2023 19:47

I went and had a bath. Did Jamie Wallis speak?

ArabeIIaScott · 12/06/2023 19:48

No, he ran away!

😂😂😂

ArabeIIaScott · 12/06/2023 19:48

'more gender clinics' - how generous. What about women?

ArabeIIaScott · 12/06/2023 19:49

'we will come back to this place once we've considered in detail the legal implications'

Ramblingnamechanger · 12/06/2023 19:49

Not good enough from woman in purple .

AlisonDonut · 12/06/2023 19:49

Jamie Wallis is a he?

xabia · 12/06/2023 19:50

A lot of good things have come out of this. Some amazingly articulate speakers for change. And some real gifts from the other side.

SunnyEgg · 12/06/2023 19:50

Come back after considering implications

Fine. Better than the woo ban clan
