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)?

If this is genuinely about women having equality then I agree. If you are defining a woman as ‘any man who says he is’ then at best this plan is misogynistic, ridiculous and doing the exact opposite of what you say. Simply humans can not change sex. And it is sex what you are talking about not gender. Sex is how women are discriminated against, not gender outfits or roles! If you are genuinely fighting for equality then you would understand that.

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

Achieving balance through quotas is good as long as it is also based on merit

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?

Yes. Men are not women. If you think it is ok to have all men candidates but it’s ok because half are in a skirt and think they are a woman then you should not be in this position. Reality is vital here

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

See above

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?

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

Human rights is based on SEX! Not gender regarding discrimination. Gender is only mentioned in gender reassignment. And even then they can’t change sex!

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

Yes it’s shit
