Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol)| Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill

Ymateb gan Laura Necchi-Ghiri | Evidence from Laura Necchi-Ghiri

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 think the broad principle of ensuring the Senedd is representative of both sexes is a vital one. Sex matters in many  crucial areas - safety for women and girls in public spaces and where they are vulnerable in states of undress; health because womens bodies are different from mens; access to opportunities where they are under represented

A biological male wearing women's clothes does not understand what women go through growing up, the physical changes, the impact of sexism and misogyny on women's mental health

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

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?

I think an Equality Impact Assessment needs to be carried out to understand the impact on biological women

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

If you persist with the gender ideology and allow it to erase women and girls, not only will you be contributing to a decisionmaking environment that ignores and overrides the needs of women and girls, you will be ignoring the increasing evidence from medical experts in the UK and across the world that are now convinced that a huge medical scandal is being perpetrated on vulnerable young people who are being transitioned whilst unable to understand the long term consequences for their sexual function, fertility and the lifelong medical interventions that ensue from transitioning

We need women in the Senedd to defend women and children, not ideological trans women who self ID into womens spaces and positions if power. This is vitally important.

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

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?

Make it clear in your information that womens roles and positions are for biological women only

It is also important for trans men to have their female biology clearly signalled and understood in wider society Sex matters

They could die if their biology is unclear

Sex is binary Get over it!

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

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

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

Please do not erase biological women from our own spaces

Anything else?

You will find that the vast majority of the population and the electorate do not believe in gender ideology
