Ymateb gan Unigolyn | Evidence from Individual

What are your views on the general principles of the Bill and the need for legislation to deliver the Welsh Government’s stated policy objective (to make the Senedd a more effective legislature by ensuring it is broadly representative of the gender make-up of the population)?

I oppose this legislation. I do not support self ID for trans men and women.

What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?

I oppose the bill and I oppose any enforcement of the legislation.

Are there any potential barriers to the implementation of the Bill’s provisions? If so, what are they, and are they adequately taken into account in the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum and Regulatory Impact Assessment?

This allows self-id and it is discriminatory to those who have the protected view that sex is binary.

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Men being allowed in women’s private spaces and also unfairly compete against women in sport.

What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?

No view.

What are your views on the balance between the information contained on the face of the Bill and what is left to subordinate legislation? Are the powers for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate legislation appropriate?

No and I oppose the legislation.

Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights?

It is more important that they show they are being fair to women who are 50% of the population not trans persons who are 0.3% of the population.

Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the Bill?

I oppose the legislation as it allows self id and therefore discriminates against adult human females.

Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related matters?

No please register my opposition to the bill and related legislation

Anything else?

No
