Still way behind the 'Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating' one. It doesn't seem like there's a groundswell of support for this ill thought out petition.

All the more reason to promote it!

Why would you promote a petition which is ill thought out and focuses on the wrong thing - as has already been explained to you on here? It just makes you look ignorant.

Or in a serious state of denial.

Sunday bump

Bumping for you. I hope this petition is debated in Parliament. It will then be scrutinised by those from all parts of the political spectrum with experience of making laws, who will decide if it is a workable proposal or an impractical dream.

Thanks @Cattenberg

I hope it’s debated in Parliament as well. I also hope the OP replies to my request about what being a trans ally means. I said what it means to me, and so far no response which is disappointing. The OP is obviously monitoring the thread.

Do you think it's likely that the petition will reach the 100k required to trigger a debate before 10 July?

Sadly I don’t think it will. It’s at 16,400 ish at the moment.

I think that you should be proud at how far the trans lobby has moved from #Nodebate..

Now all you have to do is get those that are threatening violence and rape to come to the table as well.

You mean the guys that prove why single sex spaces are needed?

Yup, which it is why it will never happen.

Its also why this "debate" that is so wanting by the trans lobby will never happen, umless they can redefine the word debate.

17,000….

Not exactly taking the internet by storm, is it? Oh well.

On one hand this ideology wants people to believe there are more than two sexes to justify the impossible dream that humans can change sex… and on the other hand the idea of third spaces for those who think they are not their biological sex is considered abhorrent as an othering act. One of many contradictions.

Trans people are people like everyone else, nothing special, just uncomfortable with their biological reality like many other humans of both sexes. Pandering to their wishes is no one’s mission in life.

No thanks

Sadly you won't be able to take up parliament's time to debate diluting the rights of women to single sex spaces?

With everything else going on in this country that's your priority for parliament?
