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.

Yay!!!

I’ve posted encouraging others on Facebook to share, but I’m aware that some of them feel they can’t without putting their job or themselves at risk.

What a thing we’ve come to where asking (extremely nicely!) for a debate on something that will affect everyone is impossible for some as it’s puts them at risk. In 2018. In the UK,

I’m too scared to share as I have four FB friends who are trans all with not great mental states and I’d rather not contribute to their ‘even my friends don’t want me to exists narrative. Funnily enough transitioning hadn’t helped any of them get any more mentally well - who’d have thought that having your happiness depend on external factors might be not the way to achieve happiness? ;)

Question (and apologies if its been answered up thread) Is the petition for over 18s only? BF's daughter wants to sign but is 16 and doesn't want to mess up the petition.

5 signatures from my wee place on the map. Who are you - can we go for coffee!? Have sent the link out to friends and family...well, the ones I'm safe to talk to about these issues without being shouted at, anyway!

cloudtree no date of birth needed to sign, and I haven’t seen anything about age so I think it’s fine

Got DH to sign too.

Could @JenniferJames post the link in an alert to her crowdfunder supporters?

Response from the Green party to a letter sent to Jenny Jones:

Thank you very much for writing, I share your concerns, as does Jenny.

I agree with everything you say and think this is an issue that needs challenging within the party as it does indeed appear to have happened without consultation.

I will pass your concerns on, it is really good you have spoken up.

Thanks very much, Chloe

Was that over the "non-man" thing?

Good idea Testingnamechange1

The last update was yesterday.

I can't report my post. I may have given my email address away inadvertently. Can someone do this for me?

Thanks.

Woodle that response is brilliant!

I’ve reported it Elendon. Hope others do too.

MsMcWoodle
Great response, but what was your initial letter about? Was it self-ID?

Hi Elendon! We've had seventy bajillion reports of your email problem ( thanks to all the reporters) but are not sure where you've given it away? Was it the constituency mention? If so, we have deleted it. Can't see your mail anywhere though, unless we're being very dense (which we cannot rule out). Get back to us on here and we will sort if we haven't already, don't worry.

I can't see an email either.

I checked and I can't see your email either... so I didn't report

Hope it's all sorted!

Thanks for this! I went to it from my own email. And then got worried that the link might contain some info regarding my email. My daughter is a computer expert (not even her field) and she advised to get it deleted.

Sorry for the zillions of reports.

Signed, 3204.

Hi - yes it was about the whole issue and need for debate. I have been a member of the Greens for a long time and am leaving after an IWD facebook message which referred to 'CIS' women. I would reproduce the whole letter here but it is pretty identifying.
