Its lucky you saw it. Do things like this even show up on ‘active’?

If you have heard people argue that there is no harm in making it easier to get a gender recognition certificate because it makes no difference to the implementation of the Equality Act for gender reassignment whether a transgender identifying person has one or not….

see this video clip from ‘Politics Live’ where Sonia Sodha of the Guardian debunks that assertion (and does so on the basis of having sought expert legal analysis).

I’m really hoping the publicity about the blocking of Scottish gender recognition will give much more publicity to the whole implications of the transgender ideology for women’s rights

If you click on the link to sign, then on the petition map, you can see the most signatures so far have come from Scotland. England needs to get signing too. Don’t be asleep to this issue.

People are trying to change the meaning of sex as a biology males and females are born, to mean sex which can be procured with a certificate on the basis of a ‘gender identity’ predicated on wanting to be a man, or wanting to be a woman, or even just saying you do.

To quote the brilliant Helen Joyce :
‘Here’s the single most important thing you can do in this new year to protect women’s rights. Get your friends to sign too...’

If you have other sympathetic adults in the household/family do ask them to sign.
