Do you need to be on the electoral roll or a British citizen to sign?

My one issue with the petition is that it asks the government to consult with women’s organisations rather than women. This hasn’t worked well for us in Scotland as most women’s organisations are heavily dependent on state funding so had to say they’re pro self ID.

Anyone feeling a bit shy, since I shared on my CLP women's FB page, there have been 4 new signatures in our constituency. I don't know for sure it was my doing,but I feel pretty good about it!

"Consult women" could be twisted to "We have consulted women, transwoman are women."

Good work everybody! I've been watching the signatures increase.

Sadly, I can't risk signing or sharing. If it was anonymous, yes, but I can't risk my name being seen (username is a hint about what arena I work in.)

993 signatures and counting!

At 1000!

I also wish women’s and girls’ sports had been specifically called out but hopefully a reasonable discussion would seek to include that anyway

Over 1,000!!!

The petitions have a very tight word limit so I couldn’t include everything I wanted to, unfortunately. Hopefully the references give anyone really interested signposts of where to go next.

1000 in 2 hours
