Sky news is running a poll.
Seems like the activists have been calling up the troops.
If you use twitter, please use your clicking finger.
Hope this works

The score on the doors:
51% believe self-identification alone should be enough for trans people to obtain a gender recognition certificate; and
49% believe self-identification alone should not be enough for trans people to obtain a gender recognition certificate.

Even if the enormous shift from initial voting trend is ignored that's still closer that the Brexit result and look what an enormous clusterfuck has been caused by saying "ahh yes let's give the 52% anything any of them my have thought they were asking for and let's ignore the 48%". The flaw in this approach is an assumption that governments carry learning over from the most recent cluckerfuck to the prospective clusterfuck.

They will. And going by other polls they have run, maybe it will give them pause for thought.

Fienda · 20/07/2018 08:40

The people running the poll will notice this shift though won't they?

Here's another one from the same charmer.
I keep retweeting these screenshots, but so far no one has commented on my tweets. I find this strange.
The comment seems to have gone from the SKY site but the poster is still on twitter.

This will have spread outside the U.K. now too.

It will be covered thus “outpoll shows the general public of the U.K. are in favour of Self ID laws”.
There will be no break down of the comments underneath or details of how the vote changed throughout the day.

Are votes public?

intheparcark · 20/07/2018 00:54

Coz either I get to self ID as a woman or i'll start id'ing as a fucking pissed off ball of rage and come at transphobes with a nail encrusted baseball bat

No woman I have ever come across, EVER, and I have known some characters in my time ,has ever said that they want to hit someone with a nail encrusted baseball bat. or used language similar.
It's the sort of thing that VIOLENT MEN would say.

So here's something interesting you to read and think about:

You will never get taken seriously as a woman if you continue to make threats like a man

Pratchet · 19/07/2018 22:05

Twitter techs probably can.

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 21:48

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 21:45

But can TRAs know how I voted?

Bi11yOneMate · 19/07/2018 21:00

Jelly, I just signed up to Twitter and had that before I even got to vote! Just joined 10 minutes ago. Did nothing other than follow dawn French and then went to look for the poll and got locked....

Pratchet · 19/07/2018 20:51

Oh god jelly.

Even a poll they have to have. The TRA mothership sent out a signal.

TheBiologicalWoman · 19/07/2018 20:26

It's 47 percent yes and 53 per cent no now.

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 20:08
