Response received from Minister via MP

Today I received the Minister response letter via my MPs office following my query to him regarding the GRA back in March.

I was going to share it here, but wanted to check before I did. I haven't been able to get online for a while so I wonder if people are still comfortable with these being shared?

I can redact all elements that identify the MP for example.

Thanks for posting, Fluffy.

This is a good briefing from a female perspective:

Maryz I think single sex allows exemptions for biological sex specifically in some circumstances.

The difficulty is that if transwomen are now women, single sex spaces are now meaningless.

Spaces remain for women only. Including transwomen. And so, if self-id comes in (either legally or in practice, as it appears to be at the moment) also including men.

Well it says little, apart from there's nothing to worry about, but good that they're inviting input

Ok, have redacted info apart from the Minister's office because I assume that this would be public knowledge anyway - if this is the government department with responsibility.

Plus, the response is clearly an official line, which I assume would be repeated to any such query, from any channel.

I agree, don’t share anyone’s name.

Maybe don't share the minister if they are supportive of the gender critical position- they'll be put through hell by the T/MRA thought police & Glitter Brownshirts until the bow to the pressure.

Also keen to see if that's alright.

I think the ID of the minister should be OK, but obviously yours and the MPs probably not good to share if you don't want to out yourself. Would love to see.

Wanderabout · 04/05/2018 16:22

Yes do share redacted.

Yes, so long as the identities of the people in the letter are kept off, I don’t see the problem.
