Have you filled in the consultation on GRA?

hi all
just filled in this in

I couldn't find a thread talking about your experience of filling it in

I found it incredibly frustrating, not least because I felt there was no clarity in terms of separating "sex" and "gender". It has clearly been designed in the most demotivating way and I thought it was much less clear than the Scottish forms.

what do others think?

I was wanting to promote it but I don't think most people will bear with it so is it better to just ask friends and families to write to the department and local MP?

I haven't filled it in either. I am really hoping for input from the community before I do. It would be great if we could find some female rights preserving collective guidance, similar to what Stonewall has done but from our gender-critical perspective, in order to make sure people are putting forward solid positions. I'm sure smarter people than me have excellent suggestions in how to respond to the consultation that I can consider and digest (am I wrong in thinking that Fair Play for Women are doing this?). If we offer our own analysis then am sure it will be much easier to ask relative newcomers to the issue to fill it in instead of weeding through the word-salad.

Slow and steady wins this. I’m so wound up at the moment I don’t think I’d do myself justice.

This too!

I also think the political landscape could change by late October so I want to reflect any changes.

sorry, does this mean waiting for advice on the best way to answer questions?

my feeling is the way it is set up, only the final section is useful.

I agree with Lang - there are lots of knowledgeable people beavering away at the moment, I’m going to wait to see what they say and whether it chimes with my feelings. Slow and steady wins this. I’m so wound up at the moment I don’t think I’d do myself justice.

No. I'm waiting for as much input and collaboration as possible before I do. There is plenty of time and I agree it's a dog's dinner so I would recommend everyone take their time and get discussing before completing.
