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?

Let's hope so.

Who's the nodding man next to AE?

Watching. Thanks for the analysis so far.

Miriam Cates - never heard her speak before. hmm!!

Oh dear Angela Eagle deliberately not understanding the point of why lesbians want to on meet up with biological female lesbians.

Oh Angela, you could support third spaces rather than supporting men’s rights at the expense of women.

Yes that's making me angry too @IwantToRetire

'politically induced moral panic'

This woman appears to know nothing of the issue!

Why this emphasis on GRC holders? As if they are the only group that are the problem? It like Eagle is ignoring what is actually happening

Abortion rights? Get a grip, woman. Focus!

Labour dismissing women as per

Ngnghgn how dare she

AE throwing women under the bus.

*GRAVholders

Section 28 is entirely fucking irrelevant.

OMG the whole GI thing is homophobic!

the current status quo is wrecking the lives of women you numpty

What is a non-gender conforming woman?

Is it a transwoman or is it a woman who doesn't dress/act like the gender stereotype associated with her sex?

OK my typing ability is crap tonight. Apologies - GRA holders

Oh yes poor trans people feelings, no concerns for safety and feelings of women

lets piss off most women for 7000 people who have a piece of paper!

7000 GRC holders - that's a new figure

Now AR - Angela Richardson (Conservative)

She's a lesbian and has no idea how the inclusion of TW as legal women impacts on lesbians ability to meet?!

Can I swear on here?

Is this the Labour line, to deflect away from supporting women's rights and just say it is moral panic and an attack on trans people.

LabourLosingWomen.

Legitimate aim, but not for lesbians to only meet up with other lesbians.

Angela Eagle does not speak for lesbians. Starmer's useful idiot.
