In Wales @WelshGovernment ignore the voices of concerned women & plough on, intent on destroying our sex-based rights

But Welsh women will not be subdued, dismissed or ignored any longer

Hello Mr Drakeford @PrifWeinidog
#ShesBehindYou!

#NoToSelfID
#WelshWomenWontWheesht
Women representing several concerned grassroots groups took their concerns in a silent protest directly to our First Minister today

His talk was entitled ‘Wales: The Big Picture’

Well @PrifWeinidog your gender-addled plans will harm women & children in Wales

That’s OUR big picture

We say #NoToSelfID

#StDavids
#StDavidsFestivalOfIdeas
Welsh women say NO #NoToSelfID @PrifWeinidog @WelshGovernment

You have not learnt from the debacle of the Scotland GRR Bill

You are not reading the room

We do not want harmful gender ideology rolled out across Wales

NO
And so we are clear - NO to men in women’s sports, NO to men in women’s changing rooms, toilets, rape crisis, dv centres, prisons, NO to mixed-sex wards and intimate care. NO

Oh - and lesbians are same-sex attracted females too - never male

Add that to your ‘big picture’

We don’t know if ANYONE is left at the #Senedd today, but we are here at least!

We’ll be listening to the debate on the Electoral Candidates Lists Bill.
Will Members support or reject it?
Either way, it’s looking like being kicked into the long grass to 2030.

When it comes to women's sex-based rights, most other MPs and candidates have either dodged or denounced the issue.
This man hasn't. He's stood up for women across Wales and been fearless.
We are very grateful for @DavidTCDavies. We hope he is re-elected.

He's been speaking up for years about gender ideology and women's rights, and has met with concerned groups, listening carefully.
When others have lacked courage to speak out, or been prepared to redefine women to include men, @DavidTCDavies has shown sense and integrity.

As he fights for his seat in #Monmouthshire this week, we hope the women of his constituency are paying careful attention to those who would betray their rights, and those who would fight for them. @DavidTCDavies fights for them. He always has.

The Electoral Candidates Bill 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿- an update.

In the latest evidence session of the Reform Bill committee, @WelshGovernment Minister Jane Hutt was asked by @DarrenMillarMS to provide a definition of woman.
Didn't, wouldn't, couldn't.
Why is this such a difficult question?
1/5
It's not hard to pinpoint the reason for Ms Hutt's difficulty.
The @WelshGovernment's ACTUAL position can't be openly connected with the Bill.
It's repeated ad nauseum in the #Senedd, and in policy documents such as their LGBTQ+ action plan below. 👇

2/ gov.wales/sites/default/…
Image
This previous written statement by Ms Hutt 👇states her support for self ID.

The Bill also allows individuals to make a 'gender statement' that they are a 'woman' on electoral lists.

No challenge, no sanction for false statements. It's self ID.

Yesterday, the #Senedd debated the #CassReport. After weeks of @LauraJ4SWEast asking @welshgovernment to issue a supportive statement, and the answer constantly being that the Report was being ‘reviewed’, @DarrenMillarMS forced a debate.
So what did we learn?

Some rationality was evident within @Welsh Government, notably from @ElunedMorgan @WGHealthandCare, who welcomed the Report’s findings.
@rhianonpassmore made a strong contribution, warning against cancellation and ‘articles of faith’ being relied upon rather than evidence.

But oh dear @JennyRathbone.
Still referring to children being ‘born in the wrong body’ and wrongly stating that ‘there is very weak evidence against puberty blockers’.
READ. THE. REPORT. JENNY.
This may also help her👇

STOP SELF ID IN THE UK - A CALL TO ACTION 🚨
The Welsh Government wants to force through a system of self ID on electoral lists in a new Bill.
Please respond to this consultation by 12th April. 👇
You can complete this whether you are in Wales or not.
Bin this Bill!
A 🧵
1/6
The Bill outlines that you will state whether you are a 'woman' or 'not a woman' via a 'gender statement'.
The attached impact assessment, along with other documentation, makes it very clear that this will be on a self ID basis.

It's as if the Welsh Government looked at the GRR disaster in Scotland and thought 'hold my beer'.
They are trying to ride roughshod over UK wide equalities legislation and are ignoring this important @ForWomenScot case.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

When @Plaid_Cymru’s values lead them to cancel a worldwide feminist group @FiLiA_charity’s stall at conference, what are their ‘values’ actually worth?

Values.
By way of reminder, this is the @Plaid_Cymru STILL embroiled in a misogyny and sexual harassment scandal.
Who don’t want women who defend other women at their conference.
As these women don’t prioritise men’s feelings.

‘Values’ didn’t prevent @Plaid_Cymru sending a new life peer to the Lords this week.
Even though they claim to want to dismantle it.
Presumably the presence of anyone with a different view there won’t make their life peer feel ‘unsafe’ enough not to take her seat.
