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)?

SEX not gender.

Using gender allows those who ID as something they're not, to take the place off those who are (female).

SEX NOT GENDER

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

The only consideration should be whether or not the potential candidate is FEMALE (biological).

SEX NOT GENDER

If you use the term "woman" and allow males to ID as such, then you will need DNA samples to ensure that genuine women (ie FEMALES) are the only ones being considered.

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?

Self ID and the Welsh Assembly's apparent acceptance of it is a barrier

SEX NOT GENDER

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Females will be excluded as a result of accepting that males can also be women - we are seeing this all over, just look at UN Women appointing males who have no idea what it means to be female, to "represent women".

SEX NOT GENDER

If gender is used, FEMALES WILL BE EXCLUDED.

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

They have not considered their use of language, and what will arise as a result.

SEX NOT GENDER

It will be an absolute waste of time and money if gender is used as FEMALES WILL MISS OUT and the whole point is, supposedly, to sort out inadequate representation of the FEMALE SEX

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?

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

WOMENS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS AND THEY ARE BEING ERODED BY THOSE USING GENDER AND NOT SEX

SEX MATTERS

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