Delurking to say I met my MP today (male, Tory, old-school, fairly well-known). It took him a minute to work out what I was on about, clearly no one has raised it with him before. He then went on a rant about the very notion of self-ID being Preposterous! Absurd! Ludicrous! And then paused for breath and asked 'So, what side of the argument are you on?' 
. I basically couldn't get a word in edgeways but he expressed himself as a feminist and thought women's concerns in general were not given enough prominence in politics. He couldn't understand why anyone would support self-ID and was surprised that 'Penny' (Mordaunt) was championing it. I did shoehorn in that David Davis had been very supportive and been the object of an inquiry for his trouble. He had no idea about the HoC meeting on Tuesday (I'd emailed him about it a week ago) and no intention of going, I tried suggesting someone from his office could go instead.
I left him a copy of the House of Lords speech and the Jan Morris Times article and he promised to read them and said he would vote against self-ID and that 'common sense must prevail'.
I've never met an MP before and done so entirely off the back of this board. I can't say I put in a dazzling performance, I don't think he let me finish a sentence even once so it's a good thing we were on the same side, I'd have been ripped to shreds otherwise! Still, I'm chalking it up as a win of sorts as maybe it will register on his radar in the future. He might even have a chat with Penny .
