🧵
1/ Wales’ government has made an LGBTQ+ Action Plan to inform all policy areas.

It’s riven with ideology & terminology that erases women & same-sex attraction. It pays safeguarding little heed.

And it was written by a biased panel, compounded by failure to consult properly. ImageImageImageImage
2/ Ideology is the blatant starting point of the LGBTQ+ Action Plan.

It states baldly: “The Welsh government’s position is clear: Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary identities are valid.”

How can such a disputed, evidence-free claim be a basis for policy? Image
3/ What about women’s fears that gender self-ID puts them at risk?

Wales’ LGBTQ+ Action Plan simply dismisses them.

But then, as key women’s groups weren’t consulted, how could the plan’s drafters possibly understand their perspective?

The plan barely even mentions women. ImageImage
