The Liberal Democrats are hosting quite the Fringe event at their upcoming conference in March

Liberal Voice for Women

Sex, Equality and the Law

Last April the Supreme Court clarified the meaning of ‘woman’ in the Equality Act. Nearly one year on, has anyone listened? This panel will
cut through the dithering and flanelling by the Labour government and discuss why the judgment matters and what organisations should do.

With Susan Smith (For Women Scotland), Akua Reindorf KC and Maya Forstater (Sex Matters).

Novotel, Meeting Room 1&2

Congratulations to everyone who made this happen 👏. Its about time political parties stopped sticking their head in the sand

Full agenda here: www.libdems.org.uk/conference/papers/spring-2026/agenda-directory

Thats a brilliant idea. Good plan to send link to Libdem MSPs and hopefuls in Scotland.

I have a (pretty dreadful) Lib Dem MP, but will write to ask her to attend. Miracles might happened!

There's a bit more on this event here.

Looks like they are keen to encourage actual debate.

MSPs were warned about going to listen to detransitioners at Holyrood and the party whip was in the room to check so it’s possible people might’ve worried about being marked on a list somewhere. I hope they are brave enough to go

[expletives deleted] They need to strike the "Democratic" from their party name.

Bumping this thread to remind people that this event is happening on Friday night, and no, you don't need to be a LibDem member to attend - if you're near enough to get there in person, you'll be very welcome. Online tickets also here: liberalvoiceforwomen.telltix.com/events/liberalvoiceforwomen/2082142

Thanks for the reminder! I am signed up for the online session so I can watch from the sidelines on my sofa. Much better than a Friday night movie - what a line-up 😍🍿

Bumping this - it's Tonight!

I have a (free) online ticket to watch later, should be good!

I'd missed this so just signed up - thanks for the reminder.

I've just noticed there are no joining instructions yet for those of us doing the online thing, so I hope they will turn up later. Does anyone know?

Thanks for the reminders! 8pm. Brilliant .

Online sold out!

They'd forgotten the link which has now arrived by email. But it says 18.00!

I'm logging on for 8pm anyway. If it was 1800 I've missed it.

It will be up on youtube in due course, apparently.

But I'll be there at 8!

Had a similar message so came on here to check with the Vipers.

I’m assuming 8pm, see you online in a bit

Its starting!

Really interesting - thanks to speakers and organisers. It could have been another hour!

Sorry that I missed it. Does anyone know where / if / when it will be available online?

I reckon it will be up here

So if you subscribe it may send notification

Thank you @ArabellaScott I have done that.

"Rainbow Mafia" is spot on, love it. Just a bit more violent and anti-women than the actual Mafia.
