| Message | Mr Speaker, Article 2 prevents us from supporting this bill. We do not support self-identification of gender as we feel that it is dangerous to tear down sex based protections for women. If article 2 was removed then we would support this bill Ben Sullivan (TUSC Leader) |
| Date | 07:48:45, July 01, 2018 CET | From | Conservative Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Equality Act 4416 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The TUSC leader's position on the matter of article 2 is truly preposterous. Surely any government would ensure that individuals meet certain requirements for changing gender identity. Besides, gender is not based on biological sex, rather it revolves around the way an individual sees themselves. Amanda Hall Leader of the Conservatives |
| Date | 09:02:40, July 01, 2018 CET | From | Trade Union and Socialist Coalition | To | Debating the Equality Act 4416 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The wording of the law that is proposed says it would allow the individual to decide, and gives no qualification whatsoever. Ben Sullivan (TUSC Leader) |
