Mumsnet “Manifesto” Urges Next Government to Define What a Woman Is in Equality Act
Mumsnet’s first-ever “manifesto” is calling on the next government to define what a woman is in the Equality Act. The Telegraph has the story.
The popular online forum released a 25-page document on Friday which it said represented the chief concerns expressed by its nine million users over the past four-and-a-half years.
It has 12 asks of the incoming administration after July 4th, including to “guarantee access to single-sex spaces” for women by reforming the 2010 Equality Act.
The legislation sets out “protected characteristics”, including sex, gender reassignment, age, disability, sexual orientation, race and religion, against which it is unlawful to discriminate.
But the “Mumsnet manifesto” warns that the definition of “sex” in the law is currently unclear, which could put spaces such as women-only refuges and prisons at risk.
The document says: “The next government should amend the Equality Act to make it clear that ‘sex’ refers to biological sex, thus protecting women’s right to access female-only spaces such as hospital wards, changing rooms and refuges.”

First good thing I’ve heard about Mumsnet. It was a hellscape during the non-pandemic.
I got banned years ago for talking about autism in relation to vaccines. I think I’m still banned to this day.
There were entire boards dedicated to children and COVID vaccines… Mostly they were fine with vaccine injuries as long as the children didn’t get the coof. Logic.
Good for you. Here is some absolutely jaw-dropping stuff: Video & Audio Index: How the Case Against Andrew Wakefield Was Fixed – In Eight Steps A 21st Century Medical Controversy This is an account of one of the worst and most extensive examples of official misinformation and manipulation ever perpetrated in healthcare world-wide prior to the Covid crisis. SITE SUMMARY The series documents the deliberate elaborate intentional and systematic fabrications perpetrated by three editors of the British Medical Journal in 2011. These editors publicly accused a doctor, Andrew Wakefield, of committing fraud in a scientific paper published in the Lancet medical journal which implicated the MMR vaccine in causing autism in children. Why this, why now Many people have been shocked to learn of false claims made by governments, some health officials, medical organisations and professionals concerning the supposed Covid 19 pandemic and the unsafe vaccines promoted as “safe and effective“ which were neither and of the billions of dollars, Euros, pounds and other currencies squandered and the vast profits made by the super-rich whilst the world was made poorer. …. But what people do not know is how any of this was made possible nor the extent of official… Read more »
Absolutely. I had a look on there yesterday in an idle moment (first time for months) and the crowing about Trumps conviction was enough. No single questioning of the kangaroo court, just the hope he would end up in jail.
The answer is simple really: all women should not vote for the main parties. They represent roughly 51% of the population. If they continue to vote Uniparty they are voting continue the exact opposite of what they are asking for. This really is pretty simple. Women hold the balance of power and, collectively, can vote in or out any party. So why don’t they stand up for women, stand up for themselves? A vote for any colour of Socialist, be it Green, Red, Yellow or Blue, is a vote for pretend trans in your toilet.
It is also, obviously, an invite for self ID as a child. Did they ever think about that one? If a child can self-identify as a rabbit or a sex they are not you can guarantee some bloke will self-identify as a child. It will happen, they just haven’t thought of it. Rapist self-identify as women, it’s just a Baby step further.
Hear hear 👏
I’d be turning up to write ”I do not consent” on my ballot paper, if I was still in the UK, as per the advice of David Ellis in the video I shared the other day. If you fail to turn up at all, thinking ”what’s the point? I have no influence over anything.”, then you automatically empower the usual suspects, which is exactly what we don’t want. It’s said that most natives don’t vote but most Muslims do ( we can guess who for, as well ) so you’re putting yourself at a total disadvantage if you just do nothing.
Chromosomes.
We should repeal the equalities act, full stop. Any convoluted, much visited piece of legislation that effectively says “Treat everyone the same’ should be treated with enormous contempt..
I agree
This part of the 14th amendment to the US constitution is much more narrowly written and even that has been the subject of preposterous abuse
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I’ve got mixed feelings about this. I sort of agree with the sentiment but don’t like references to “biological sex” as there is no other kind
I imagine that the law since time immemorial has understood it to mean the sex recorded on your birth certificate. I don’t see any need to go beyond that.
We didn’t need to define what a woman is in the recent past in legislation and nothing changed except for the politics.
The equality act is a divisive political weapon and should be repealed as NeilParkin suggests. However, following the article on misnaming, I am keen to know what response I’ll get suggesting racial harassment next time my Anglo Saxon name is misspelt, which it regularly is.
Do these writers not go to school? “12 asks”? Does ‘request’ not ring any bells?
Assuming you are a “normal” male (dear God I’ve transgressed maybe – I quite like the trans bit though) then God help you if If you don’t know what a woman is by the time you’e maybe 11 or 12.
