[Forresty]

Just pointing this out, separate from any threads it may have been mentioned on, so people not involved on those threads can be aware.

Does anyone know where/when it will be published?

@TheNoWord who's this fella?

He's providing a pretty good everyman view for our side actually. Not expert in the language, but clear and commonsense in his position. I rolled my eyes a couple of times, but I like where he landed. It is probably important that this message is repeated as much as possible beyond my own core demographic of exasperated (and bloody angry) women.

'We are still infected by an ideology that doesnt want to face up to the simple but compelling findings of the SC'

TRA again. Point about common sense not always being true.

Jim Shannon, DUP I think

N Irish chap talking about the Windsor Framework. [Beyond my ken]

Oh this TRA woman really can do one. Nice response from the N Irish chap of don't be ridiculous though 😂

She said common sense used to be that the earth was the centre of the universe!
She made a right fool of herself with that argument there!
As the NI man pointed out.

You are brilliant

Shannon now talking about EU law.and resultant tensions between NI law and UK law

It is (for once, truly) very complicated unfortunately, as NI do not have our Equality Act so it’s all a bit messy as to what applies or does not. NI MPs (rightly) get pretty cross about it.

An Irish sea.border on gender identity would be untenable - Shannon

Govt must grasp this nettle. There is no escape route. A mattter of regret that the Stormont Assembly allows men to use women's loos. He says not in HoC.

Ah. She's a Libdem.

Lone brave TRA.

enough said!

Can minister confirm judgment doeant affect any other law than the EA. Legal minefiled. Trans people in limbo. No guidance. Confusion.

Talking like the fucking clappers

Cant keep up sorry

Yes, Marie Goldman, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Women and Equalities).

Fecking idiot.

TRA bingo 🙄

Fill in with the usual TRA talking points.genital checks etc

Is she on drugs?

Totally

Well, she's obviously not expecting trans people to obey the law

Oh God, the Lib Dems.

She's falling into the same trap as many TRAs: by pointing out the logical incompatibility of the GRA with single sex spaces, she's highlighting the ridiculousness of the GRA.
