So wrote to my MP, for context, urban,large city, Labour male MP. Got my reply and feel like I am living in an episode of The Twilight Zone.

To condense: he's aware of the current discussion around - wait for it- around BATHROOMS , but am I aware that Transwomen are a very vulnerable group and more likely to encounter violence? sorry how many women are murdered every fucking week.

He is sure that womens safe spaces will be protected. From who? men who identify as men?

What can I do.I'm neither intelligent or articulate.I sent him the sage link, told him of my concerns for young children/adolescents. He just does not get it.

We're gonna lose this arn't we?

I'm about to reveal my ignorance of politics here, but never mind.....

If there an 'opposition' to MP's can you write to Tory/green/lab/god help us even UKIP in your area, explain your MP has lost your vote and why and what's there position.

I think it was Ann Sinnot on twitter the other day saying we've got a window of opportunity at the moment, write and write now.

You have to go and meet with MPs and walk them through the SAGES factsheet. That’s what seems to be having most impact. Also, photos of Stefonknee and Danielle 😆

Name and shame.

Also post the points he made and we'll help you refute them with proper references and everything.

No we are not!

I agree, name and shame! Ask to meet if you can stomach it. Or send it to the times or the mail/Sun if you are feeling particularly savage!

I believe we are going to lose this. MRA's have found a way to turn men against women, en masse. Men and women have chosen to go along with it.
Afterwards it will be labelled 'Project Fear', and people will yell at feminists for not speaking up more loudly or clearly.

Name and shame him because we need a list of who not to vote for in the next election.
