Apologies for starting a new thread but this is really important - I was thinking itmwoukd be useful if people could summarise the points they make for different questions?

The first point that needs to be made is to explain to the government the difference between sex and gender....

I done it but am now worried my comments may have been a bit superficial.

Yy. I kind of started and gave up too.

It's really worrying that they don't understand that legislation needs to be precisely worded and that sex and gender don't mean the same thing.

Also everything apart from the first question assumes that you are in favour and just quibbling about details.

Are there any organisations who are likely to disagree with it?

I saw a worryingly triumphal SNAP post about how much they are doing for trans folk - I'm slightly concerned that this is all a foregone conclusion.

I’ve had a look and am exhausted at the thought of having to explain it all when the questions start from a place of utter misunderstanding of the issues. It’s like trying to give directions to the local shop to someone who’s setting out from the North Pole 🙈

I've asked for mine to be deleted so it's there are not 2 different threads going at the same time

Ha! We have both posted this at the same time! I didn't want anyone to miss it on the schools thread
