Re the delay in publishing the EHRC guidance. Can't see a thread on this yet, please do email if you can.

Done. I adapted the SM template and emailed it, so have cc’d Sex Matters in too in case they are keeping a count.

PrawnofthePatriarchy · 01/11/2025 13:55

Done. Thanks for alerting me.

PassTheHanky · 01/11/2025 12:40

Email sent to my MP just now

NotInMyyName · 01/11/2025 12:40

Me too @Lovelyview. Im waiting the outcome of the various employment tribunals to cheer me up and rebalance the discussion. Im sure if more people were aware of the trans violence and their reliance on inaccurate and emotional arguments this might make a difference. I hope todays 199 day rallies go well ❤️

DustyWindowsills · 01/11/2025 12:34

Done my Saturday morning terfing.

Lovelyview · 01/11/2025 12:05

I've emailed my MP. Feeling very depressed 🙁

AmberLime · 01/11/2025 09:58

Done

AlistairSim · 01/11/2025 09:51

Done but fully expect a response telling how important trans rights are and making no reference to the actual issue/letter.

TheodoreisntBeth · 01/11/2025 09:50

Done - though my MP is one of the handmaidens on the WEC, so will do nothing other than continue to sell out women in the service of kindness to men.

MoltenLasagne · 01/11/2025 09:46

Done, thanks for the link. Remarkably easy.

heathspeedwell · 01/11/2025 09:45

Done. I'll get friends and family to email too.

All this show me is that the labour party think that laws are like pick and mix, and i thought that was just the last few tory governments….silly me !

I think it also shows how little understanding most MPs have of the purpose and scope of the Supreme Court ruling. I bet few have taken the trouble to read and understand the judgement, relying instead on false ideological talking points and general confusion.

It does seem like it might cost some businesses a lot of money.

It's basically making introducing gender neutral facilities compulsory.

Many pubs and restaurants are really struggling.

Most small pubs and restaurants tend already to have single occupancy facilities which anyone can use and sometimes an accessible toilet too. They would not need to change anything.

All that is required in many other instances is one additional self contained 'neutral' facility alongside the existing single sex provisions.

Cycleorrun · 01/11/2025 09:06

Done.

SpookyQ · 01/11/2025 08:59

Done!

I’ve never done anything like that before, but it was so easy!

Honestly, with the best will in the world, I would, but I doubt it'd get in front of her eyes anyway (the most I've ever had from previous emails was an auto acknowledgment from her office), and even if it did, what could I expect from someone who parades around in a "Protect the Dolls" t-shirt?

Oh Lord, you've got one of those, useless on everything else as well presumably.

Done.

CatHugger · 01/11/2025 07:25

Done. Great template - it took less than a minute and most people do that was trying to remember my MP's name. She's been fairly sympathetic in the past so I hope this gives her a prod to do something.

womanwithissues · 01/11/2025 07:21

Really useful template. Sent to my MP.

toomuchlikemyusername · 01/11/2025 07:10

Done. Have lurked too long on this topic. The template was a great first step in de-lurking. Will await any response with interest.

IwantToRetire · 01/11/2025 01:54

A lot of this has been covered on the other thread!

If you want to find out who the 50 MPs are, ask the Guardian who wrote the story.

And say unless they can prove there were 50 MPs by naming them you will report them to the Press Council for false news fabricated to suit their ediorial position.

You email anyway . They ignore women because they expect us to stay quiet
