Until women are respected, listened to & the dangers we’re facing are given a reasonable solution, I will no longer be supporting trans inclusion.

RT @MForstater: What is at stake today: there is no vote but the petitions to #MakeTheEqualityActClear and to keep it ambiguous will be debated together.

- the law must be clear, it shouldn't be left for service providers and courts to try to muddle through
