That is horrific.

And this in the comments:

The trans movement even has a new strand in its ideology: they now claim that because a very very few real women commit sex crimes you should consider crimes of sex and violence as equally female and male. We should stop campaigning against male violence. Its transphobic."

Is that what's coming here?

Here is an example of where gender identity has led in the US. Vulnerable women prisoners being locked in cells with men and forced to shower as the men masturbate. Oh, and the local lesbian rights spokesperson called the women bigots for complaining Angry

I'm really not convinced he's doing it to make a point. But, either way, the point is being made.

Apparently he is suing one of the swimming baths for not allowing him to change in the female locker room.

Should be interesting.

Ah, i saw it on Reddit and it had englisg subtitles. I'm sure he's showing how mad the self identification is.

Datun · 28/02/2017 18:03

Reddit says he is doing it to make a point. I do hope so.

But it's quite extraordinary that I can't tell!

What colour ink though? Green and heliotrope ?

That would be hard to ignore! Grin

I can't get it filming with English subtitles. I saw the comments which had been translated. Are you sure he's making a point and he is not serious?

Bambambini · 28/02/2017 17:21

This guy in Denmark took self identification to it'sclogical conclusion. Fair play to him for donning a one piece swimsuit and making a tit of himself to prove his point.

Maybe I will hand write it to really stand out

I took a few bits from a couple posted on here and added my own bits in too and emailed it directly to him. I've not had a reply so I'm going to hand write a slightly different version and post it when I get a chance.

Semaphorically · 28/02/2017 14:34

I wrote my own letter, but via writetothem. Maybe I will send it again via his website. Or by post, I like that idea. Maybe I will hand write it to really stand out Smile

Wrote

genehuntswife · 28/02/2017 14:20

I write to mine, she told me to wind my neck in!!

Scissorcisters · 28/02/2017 14:17

No I wrote my own letter.

nonameinspiration · 28/02/2017 12:45

Signed the petition thanks for posting. That bill is absurd

CharlieSierra · 28/02/2017 12:20

To those who have been ignored, did you use a template? I was ignored when I did so, but I have received responses to personal letters. I think they filter out template letters, especially if you go via 'write to them'.

Scissorcisters · 28/02/2017 12:16

Written to my MP and Maria too, no response from either. Shall we list the MP's so we can see if they are ignoring numerous messages from us? Power in numbers and all that.

Datun · 28/02/2017 11:59

Send a hard copy in the post. Write on the email that you're sending a hard copy in the post. And write on the one in the post this was emailed on such and such a date.

I think they must get hundreds of emails every day, but in this day and age, an actual letter is probably rarer and harder to ignore.

DJBaggySmalls · 28/02/2017 11:57

MY MP has ignored my email, I'll try again.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/02/2017 09:51

I think it just dropped down the list because there was stuff that was seen as more pressing.

Datun · 28/02/2017 09:29

Does anyone know why it was postponed? Is there any way that it could be because they had a flurry of protests as the date drew near?

ErrolTheDragon · 28/02/2017 09:06

Oh! I was wondering why I'd not seen any more about this. Would it be an idea for the OP to ask MNHQ to edit the title and add - postponed until March 24th ?

Semaphorically · 28/02/2017 08:57

The petition mobile website doesn't seem to work on Safari (which would be the first mobile browser that I'd test, but maybe that's just me).

SoulSearcher101 · 27/02/2017 23:57

The petition now stands are over 10,000 signatures, however if people are really concerned then more signatories need to be added: citizengo.org/en-gb/pc/41304-say-not-dangerous-gender-identity-bill?tc=fb&tcid=32808372

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 24/02/2017 08:41

It was postponed.
Giving us all more time to write to our MPs.
