And wouldn't you know, it's possible to do that, even when one holds a strong position on the subject. And it didn't take very long for us to write it.

Could you fill it in, and share with your friends so we can present our own evidence to counter whatever bilge the City of London comes up with.

here you go

Oops little child next to me pressed too soon!!☺️

You wouldn't have to be mad to understand the first one but it would help!!😂

TheCountryGirl · 01/08/2018 21:24

Completed it - so easy!! Very relieved not to have to write tomes underneath each question! You

So nice not to have to write essays under each question explaining what the difference between sex and gender is and why sex segregation is more important.

Thanks for writing a questionnaire with a grip on reality!

GaspingShark it is clear to me! But then I'm used to using men and women to describe people.

ReluctantCamper · 01/08/2018 20:59

careful GaspingShark, your slip's showing

borntobequiet · 01/08/2018 20:52

Done

GaspingShark · 01/08/2018 20:44

Keats, actually.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 01/08/2018 20:40

Lovely bit of word salad there :)

Abouttoblow · 01/08/2018 20:37

Whatever gets you through the day Gasping

GaspingShark · 01/08/2018 20:32

I'm going to take it as a tribute to my powers of negative capability that I hadn't fully realised what an idiocracy you are.

Abouttoblow · 01/08/2018 20:29

Completed! Smile

I also have to share that I received a Stonewall survey today to assess how supportive my workplace is to LGBT staff. This came via my employer, not really sure why.
Anyway, I spent loads of time completing it and on every occasion that it asked about my gender I left the drop down alone and typed "My sex is female". Every single time!
It felt really good Grin

Knicknackpaddyflak · 01/08/2018 20:22

Done. Very well done ManFriday. Exact same questions in plain English.

GaspingShark · 01/08/2018 19:30

it's so much clearer than the other one!

Really? What does "Services for men or women will be open to anyone who states that their gender identity is neither male nor female, or both, or sometimes one or the other" mean?

Only I think they might also be open to men and women, and if you'd stuck with "unisex" everybody would understand that.

Thank you! Just completed it. What a joy to fill out after the biased nonsense provided by the City of London.

Also had a look at the email exchange on the #manfriday website. I'm absolutely stunned that he basically admitted that there was a problem with the key terminology but thought it best to go ahead anyway, that all respondents would be expected to just 'get it'.

secretsciurusvulgaris · 01/08/2018 18:56

Done

NotTerfNorCis · 01/08/2018 18:51

Done it. Is there a link to the original so I can compare?

IAMcorbyndallas · 01/08/2018 18:50

Done!

TheCountryGirl · 01/08/2018 18:48

I LOVE ManFriday! Cheers lads!😀

thebewilderness · 01/08/2018 18:46

So much clearer than the City Corporation's bizarre effort to get people on board with their violating the law.

Ariclock · 01/08/2018 18:41

Done and it's so much clearer than the other one! Yours makes so much more sense and was much quicker to fill in.

gendercritter · 01/08/2018 18:30

Thank you!

Wanderabout · 01/08/2018 18:22

Done.

Can you add 'This would mean people with a PENIS in the ladies facilities' with big flashing lights around the caps.

aaarrrggghhhh · 01/08/2018 18:17

Exceptional. A Plain English delight. Done.

Anlaf · 01/08/2018 18:13

So good! Lovely and clear. One thing, the "anything else you'd like to add" question at the end was mandatory which is a bit of a lady-ball-ache.

Tremendous work
