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)?

Ridiculous to attempt to be representative of gender - it is impossible to define gender as it is a social construct. Those who subscribe to gender philosophy state there are between 17 and over 100 genders - if you can’t define something you can’t measure it. The term you should be using us sex.

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

Ridiculous - this is self ID by the back door.

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?

It’s contrary to the Equality Act and should go the same way as Scotland’s Bill to eradicate women - blocked by Westminster.

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

The aim of implementing a self ID bill and eradicating women’s rights is wholly intended - I trust that once the wider population becomes aware of this that this will be reflected in local and National elections

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

Public money being wasted in ‘woke’ policies - the financial and social costs are unmeasurable

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?

The conflict with the Equality Act demonstrates that this proposal is outside the scope of Welsh Ministerial responsibilities

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

Competence is not a word I use to describe the Senedd. Back door self ID us contrary to the Equality Act and detrimental to the rights of women, children and the LGB community

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

Fingers crossed that Westminster shuts down this appalling bill - your aim of undermining the Equality Act is shameful
