My point is exactly the same. People are listening to these sessions of the committee who have lived their lives very vulnerably and very hurt. To trivialise or in any way be disrespectful and use terminology such that they might show up to murder their parents is unacceptable. There are people who gave birth who were minors and if they were members of particular communities, it was later important they were virgins when they got married. I have received a plethora of texts from people who are deeply offended by the terminology that was used. We can make a legal point. My personal standing on GDPR is that it overturned the IO'T ruling absolutely and unequivocally. However, it is not reasonable for any witness who comes before this committee to use trivial terminology or throw-away remarks with regard to something that is people’s lived experience and very serious.
