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

Would like to link up with those whose MP is Julian Smith

Signed

Upstart I can't believe only 8 people have signed where I live.

Clearly I have work to do

Bump and comment on the AIBU thread too when you can.

Signed.

It's strange and brilliant to see that there are like-minded people in my out of the way, rural corner. Makes me think of the possibilities of getting local groups going...

I would love for someone more articulate than me to write a paragraph that I can put on fb when I share this petition....anyone?! Something to succinctly introduce the idea of why this needs to happen to people who have not heard anything about this or are at risk of thinking that any conversation is 'transphobic'.

Signed. 2570 now but only 9 in my constituency. there will be no housework in the ninja household tomorrow as I click on the map to see it go up.

Signed.thank you for posting OP

@DNAnotGRA he isn't mine but I am in a neighbouring constituency.

Signed. Was excited to see four others in my area. Then realised it would be my friends whom I texted the link to! Still... small victories!

Woohoo! Five in my constituency, I am not alone.

@MaryThorne please check your DM

signed and shared

It is going up so fast.

I texted a friend and her DP - they've both signed. Trying to get DH to sign but he's battling man flu and gave me a look when I sent it to him.

Signed

I shared it with my MIL in a PM and she has now signed and shared it openly on her Facebook. I wish I could be as brave as her.

Signed

Grouchy the joy of getting older is I no longer giving a shit what people think
DH has signed too

oooh 8 in my constituency!

One brave woman shared in my CLP Women's Forum group. I offered my support but we were swiftly shouted over and threatened with expulsion from the group!

@DNAnotGRA I've responded

Only 3 in mine, including me!
