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)?

It needs to be SEX not gender, as sex is a real thing and gender is made up.

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

This is silly. It is obvious who is a man or a woman. Men can wear what they like but they will never gestate, lactate or menstruate hence not encounter the same problems women will. So why are you letting men say they are women - lying, basically?

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?

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Truth seems to be a casualty. Why are you letting men say they are women?

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

Financial? Do you mean because men still earn more than women?

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. I'd be inclined to let Westminster stay in charge if Wales can't tell the difference between the sexes.

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

Women need more protection than men. Men are stronger and not as physically vulnerable.

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

Not sure why you are altering something that already works fine
