Au contraire! To deny women their rights/spaces/places by allowing men in is regressive. There is no 'wedge'. There is a complete disconnect. We are sexuality. The TQ+ is ideology. Indeed, even crime stats are reported separately. On which note, trans crime down AGAIN this year.

The Bill is an attempt to wedge in terms for people that have no basis in law on to the statute books. It is confirmation that @oliviabaileymp only listened to one side of the argument when drafting this Bill. Here’s the proof in that now infamous picture. This Bill needs to be binned. Plenty more.

Where did ‘non-binary’ come from? Are these people now ‘asexual’, ‘non-binary’ or ‘transgender’? Since the first two are specifically not mentioned in the EA2010, they cannot be adequately defined for or by the Bill.

Para 38 comes along with ‘these provisions extend protection to those who identify as ‘non-binary’ people, defined in the draft Bill as those who identify as neither male nor female, or not solely male or female.’

LabourLGB @labourlgb.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Again, the term ‘transgender identity’ is being loaded with people who are no longer ‘asexual’ but are now transgender? Transgender but are now ‘asexual’? Both? Neither? Because…

Further along in the notes and Para 37 has another stab at Section 8 and gives the usual definition of a ‘transgender identity’ but includes those who ‘consider themselves to be neither male nor female, or not solely male or female’.

It says that the definitions of sexual orientation and trans identity are derived and ‘adapted’ from the Equality Act 2010 referring to Section 12(1) but this Section talks only about gay, lesbian or bisexual attraction specifically. ‘Asexual’ isn’t even on the page so ‘asexual’ has no basis in law.

The explanatory notes try to put flesh on this but makes matters worse. Para 30 states that these provisions are for ‘asexual’ people. Where did that come from? Why here? It just pops up out of the blue with no definition given of who these people are.

LabourLGB @labourlgb.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Sect 8(c) gives a definition of... what exactly? It's just included in the catch-all 'transgender identity'. But if a person claims they are neither or both, how can they be trans when trans people will tell you they are most definitely one and not the other sex?

LabourLGB @labourlgb.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
The Conversion Practices Bill attempts, by the back door, to introduce ‘asexual’ and ‘non-binary’ in to the legal framework. It does so in a messy, unstructured manner as the Bill and its explanatory notes show. Explanatory notes 'are not meant to be a comprehensive description of it'. A fail here.

Because sexual attraction is innate. Trans is an ideology whereby the person refuses to accept the sex they were born in. They make a conscious effort to try to change that. Sexual attraction doesn't need that. Adopting female stereotypes by wearing a dress, make-up etc isn't proof of trans.

Nope. Sexuality. Not a 'feeling'. By saying that you are letting in conversion therapy. It is innate. By rabbiting on about gender though shows the social science and the sand that it is built on. It is made up nonsense that doesn't pass the first hurdle of science.

LGB isn't an identity. It's a sexuality. You are right, trans is an 'identity' reliant on stereotypes and does not change the sex of the person. No rights lost. Remember, trans rights are human rights as they are still human and for their sex at birth.

We weren't sure to post this or not. Another Republican going on about 'trans' fits in nicely with the trans ideologues shtick that it's all a right-wing conspiracy. After a little research, found out - HE'S A DEMOCRAT! buff.ly/xzQg26P
