The self-ID petition is now live!

[YesItsADebate]

This is the petition asking the government to consult with women on the proposals to enshrine gender identity in law.

Another one whose been singing "So Lonely" by The Police until 30 mins ago....I'm now one of 4 in my constituency, so word is getting out.

I'll be rallying the rest of the family later so that will push it up higher.

Good luck Mrs O!!

I think if any of my facebook friends delete me they're probably not my friends any way as the petition is fairly innocuous. I have a few political friends but we like a bit of an argument now and then and often disagree on stuff. I don't have many facebook friends anyway. I can imagine if you have hundreds of acquaintances there might be a few who either hate discussing contentious issues or are very blinkered. It's not as though I've had an overnight personality change.

Waves to NaturalBlondes!
When I signed earlier I felt like a right Freddy No Mates.
I had a right soppy response from Dame when I asked about his intentions. I might send him the link in due course!

4 in my area. I don't live a big area population wise so I'm wondering if I know you now!

7 people in my constituency have signed. I wish I could meet up with them!

And I've just made DH sign too.

Mayday

I found my email in Junk.

Signed!

One of theee in my rural constituency. I hope I know you!

Signed and shared to Facebook and Twitter

Only 5 of us in my London constituency (and one of them is my Mum) .

Signed!

👍.

Signed.

Have emailed my mp and he's replied looking for petition details. Thanks for raising.

Will also send it on to OH via email -thanks for the reminder.

I think it's pretty innocuous wording, too - but maybe if and when some 'true colours' show as a result of a reasonable request for consultation, this will help others see what we're worried about.

I also notified my MP (Tory and very good on other topics) to let him know

I signed earlier. I didn't know I could check how many people in my area had signed. My constituency has about 100k people, 3 of whom have signed so far. I'll get DH to sign later & send it to my cousin - I know they've both peaked.

1800! It’s gone up 300 in less than an hour and a half.

Surprised we have had little in the way of #nodebate

I’m not sure how much debate can possibly be had over a request to consult women on issues that affect them.

Does it take long to get the email to finish signing because I've been waiting and waiting for at least ten minutes and mine still hasn't arrived! :(

Thanks, signed just now via another thread poster Jaycee shared.

Anyone reading and unsure - please think again on why you are reluctant to fully form a view on this.

This is about bullies telling us what being female is.

Not about the lovely transsexuals we all know and cherish - this is about activists hijacking an issue.

Signed.

Apart from on AIBU - but there’s always a bun-fight on there - I haven’t seen any opposition. Has anyone else?
