Soooo it seems that the amazing StickerWoman's campaign has already had an impact. Given the censorship of women who have concerns about self-identification this does seem to be one of the only ways for drawing the general public's attention to the consultation on the change in law (that closes in just over 7 weeks!!!).

It seems to me that SW needs the help of all MNers who are gender critical. If every one of them posted even one sticker a day I suspect that would have a huge impact.

It's really pretty easy to do once you get started - have a few ready to go in your handbag (complete with the corner of the double sided sticky tape bent back) and every time you see an opportunity.....do it! It's amazing how many opportunities there are when you are out and about each day (bus stops, changing rooms, loos, car parks, lifts etc etc). And really the chances of getting "caught" are extremely slim (there's really not CCTV on every angle of everywhere - we're not in 1984 yet although we soon could feel closer to it when it comes to our use of language if the law is changed). And even then if challenged a sensible conversation can ensue (to explain why there is a need for the stickers).

Some printables here (all you need is a printer, scissors and double sided sticky tape): www.dropbox.com/sh/4n362ya99atnuhq/AAAFs1-fP1Xu96liCC4OZmN-a?dl=0

I happened to notice some rather fetching hand coloured pictures on my early morning stroll today. What is the best way for me to share my happy snaps of those more widely? Twitter? Is that safe?

My goodness Lefthanddown that sounds like an excellent walk.
I was somewhat peeved that one of my stickers was removed within about 5 minutes today. Two will go up in the place of every one taken down though.....

Okay strike my original Blue Peter list of "Here's what you need" and replace it with this. You just need:

  • Paper or stickers
  • Marker pen
  • double sided sticky tape (if using stickers)
Then just draw/write your own. Grin

I think it is helpful to point to FairPlayForWomen.com or another site on the stickers so that people who see them can get more info.

I can't manage stickers either - just print and cut.

Some lovely walks here too today - I'm finding myself strangely drawn to parking meter machines, post boxes and bus stops at the moment.

I struggled to find pink label stickers, which is why I went for paper.
Managed to post 12 penises and 14 info sheets in my walk today 😀

Good idea. I’ve ordered white printer stickers and will go see if I can order pink ones too.

I don't have a colour printer either. So, just use coloured paper and pick a sticker that can be printed in b&w. It's effective enough, given that most will be pulled down, though some of mine have now been up for 5 days in populated areas (on bus stops/pelican crossings etc)

IAmSproutycus · 27/08/2018 08:52

I'll do the black and white knob tonight under cover of darkness. Husband has got the B&W printer out and is joking about aiding and abetting. Snort.

Ucantarguewistupid · 27/08/2018 08:44

I'm in.

IAmSproutycus · 27/08/2018 08:42

Righty-ho, count me in. I need some help please everyone. I don't have a colour printer, but happy to pay if someone can help me out. Not sure how we do that safely, but sure there's a way (swapping black briefcases at a park bench?? 😁)

SweetGrapes · 27/08/2018 03:20

There's quite a lot of material here! Thanks Smile

MrsFogi · 26/08/2018 20:03

Just to be clear it was another amazing MNer who created the dropbox and produced the printables - thank you!!
