Ymateb gan Joanna Thomas | Evidence from Joanna Thomas

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)?

Nomination should be on merit not sex. If however you insist on going ahead with this idiotic system, you SHOULD NEVER include trans women as women,it should be female from birth only. The whole world is watching Welsh Labour, and you've already failed in so many other areas.

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

Its an unworkable utterly ridiculous waste of tax payer money purely to play alongside Stonewall and get the gender ID bill through but we see what you are doing and will fight it on every level.

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?

Real women.

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Men in women's spaces and men as female mp's. Men in women's sport and the Welsh government being an absolute laughing stock as well as being voted out in 2026. Choose wisely.

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

They are not valid points, it's not workable and is mysogyny brought in by stealth

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?

Trying to gt the self id bill in by stealth methods is a new low for Welsh Labour

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

The Senedd is incompetent

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

Steath push through of self id will be the downfall of Labour

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

Do not try and push this and the self id bill through, you will be opening a can of worms that even you can't brush under the carpet

Anything else?

No
