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.

Link: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/214118

Thanks for setting up and sharing this petition and to all of you who are doing so much to stop us sleepwalking into giving up our protected spaces. I've learned a huge amount from these boards in recent weeks and while I'm not quite ready to post on social media for various reasons, I am, conversation by conversation, doing what I can to get people to think about what self Id could mean in reality.

Thank you.

Thankyou to everyone who has read, signed, shared, thought about it, had a conversation or anything else. I don’t feel articulate enough to post on Chat but there’s already a brave poster who’s done AIBU already

@theaveragewife yes, I'm in L & going to the Woman's Place event on Thursday (not next week!). Whereabouts are you?

@GenderApostate check your emails it doesn't register until you click the link. Some people's had gone into spam.

AIBU is a good place anyway - as it will stay longer than in Chat.

I’ve signed and shared. Thank you so much for organising this and giving us a chance to have a say.

I’m also going to let my DD and Dh know about it. They’ll want to sign.

Signed and... SHARED!!! I have been brave! Have 500+ friends on FB but I have reached the point of wanting to have that conversation with literally anyone. I am so brassed off with the whole situation. I know I keep saying this but ORWELL COULD NOT BEAT THIS LEVEL OF CRAZY.
Have had 'the chat' with many real-life friends in the past few weeks, and they have pretty much all been extremely worried.
BRING IT ON.

(I am all mouth - I am such a people pleaser usually - aaaaaaagh I hope nobody hates me over this! I am not good with confrontation! 😂😂😂)

Not one person on facebook has commented on my share after worrying. I think people just look at petitions and think ‘meh’

East Ren is interesting. Coffee anyone? PM me

Hi,
Signed but can't share (worried about job).

This whole issue has me worried but I am rubbish at debating it. Lets hope the petition reaches 100,000

If you can’t share it in SM, maybe ask relatives/partners/adult children?

If everyone whose signed so far? got another 3 people to sign, we’d be up to 10,000

Six in Filton and Bradley Stoke!

I emailed our MP about this yesterday - anyone else like to do the same?

Excuse the random question mark.

I love the map. I'm finding it really heartening seeing the colour changes

Done.

I've never been nervous about signing one of those before. What does it say about the situation today that I'm scared of being on a list for literally saying "please talk to women"?

Would love to sign but not a UK resident. I am however sharing it around.

How can it be that after all of the battles for women's rights progress can be eroded so quickly?

Signed.

I've signed and so has dh. Currently 8 in my constituency.

I tested the water with a close relative as to whether to share on social media. She won't sign. I'm not brave enough to share it yet.

Over 2,400 signatures! I cant believe so many people have signed where I live.

I've signed and I'm planning on emailing/ whatsapping selected friends. Can't share publicly because of my job. Makes me so angry!!

Signed & shared

Aaand that’s 2500 signatories!

7 here.

Signed.

Signed !
