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?

Layla don't make a fool of yourself, fgs. Intersex is not a third sex.

Layla's got to Layla!

Oh fuck off, who is she?

Someone has gone for the intersex gambit.

Lolz Layla.

Oh god intersex red herring. It's like trans bingo!

Yes young daughters, brilliant.

The two guys behind are on their phones!

not 50 50 cos intersex! FFS

JC up

Thanks to that guy, on behalf of women and girls

Yay Jo Cherry!

Yay Joanna's up!

the Chair puts the question and asks MPs to decide on the motion

But this isn't possible in this case because there are 2 opposing positions. Normally a debate is just about the issue raised by a single position.

Maybe they will have to ask both questions. (??)

Thanks. He was excellent. Totally clear and sensible.

Scotlands women are pissed off!

CLARIFY the act!

He was very very reasonable. Good.

hear hear Jo C

Go on Jo.

Shows how mad this ideology is if it can unite a Hindu Tory and a left wing lesbian!
