Writing to my MP

Has anyone had a problem contacting their MP using the form on the Write to Them website? I wrote to my MP yesterday about an issue relating to gender id. You have to wait for an email confirming your email address before your letter is sent to Them. This should take 15 minutes. I did this yesterday at 4 and still haven't received an email from them.

My question is, do you think it's possible that an actual human has read my letter and has decided it's 'transphobic' and refused to send it? I would have assumed that it was an automatic process but I'm a bit suspicious after that letter Taiwo wrote last week about Kathleen Stock/ LGBAlliance went public!

Hope this makes sense, any thoughts?

Mine doesn't either. She responded to my first email with a load of Stonewall guff,and when I wrote back,picking her arguments apart,and asking questions about safeguarding and equality impact assessments,I never heard another thing.
But,she always put out a lot of stuff about how she'd met with Mermaids,Stonewall,ect,on SM.And she was behind a group that was trying to vote in self ID. That has now stopped and she seems to be concentrating on the actual issues that affect her large rural conservative constituency.

My MP doesn't respond to me any more. She has been very helpful in the past on health related issues, but anything about women's rights etc is ignored. I don't know if it is censorship by the back office staff or if she reads the correspondance and ignores it.
