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

I think you're right Seafood, but getting over 10,000 will be a good start!

I suspect we'll get a flurry when people get home from work. My sister said she needes to access her personal email and didn't want to do that at work.

Well I'm very new to this issue - liberating to be able to have an opinion - I honestly switched off and assumed you all liked OJ for instance.

I think if some more prominent people on the left stand up and say : this does not represent us, it will in time get a lot of wider support.

People are just so bored of JC and the apparent infighting that no one else is listening. Perfect cover to get loads of dangerous things said and they are - Jewish comments.

If you lose some friends along the way, it is ultimately information that they will not stand up to be counted. Sounds like Germany in the 30s, these people are stirring hatred.

Im only just starting conversations and expect to gain more people who will vote. I have 4 men and 3 women so far (not all in same area so showing up in different bits of map). I do like the map.

The AIBU thread is being moved

The AIBU thread is being moved 

That seems a bit off. MNHQ leave plenty of things in AIBU that are posted there for traffic!

I think they left it as long as they could.

It's policy not to have petitions anywhere other than petitions.....

Key is to keep a thread in active conversations so it just needs to be kept bumping.

The mirror thread just been dumped out of AIBU and put into Petitions - that will get it noticed - NOT!

Did someone have a word, MNHQ?

Signed

It's usual for petition threads to be moved from chat and Aibu -it's usually done quicker than that, so that's a plus

Yes I think reasonable. Can point people there.

Let's start pointing, then.

Anyone here also on Gransnet? I think the petition be of interest on that site, but I'm not sure which forum would be best?

Active is how I got tuned in _ the word 'biology - sex ' etc I thoughooh that sounds sensible .

I had no idea you weren't all on here as OJ supporters, I'm sure there must be others like me. So - yes - active conversations - and maybe sometimes word thread in a way that might bring along the uninitiated/nervous of posting on Feminist Board. Not a critisicm, just me being dim, but sure there are others the same.

Signed.

Only knew about it because I read the Feminism Chat board. I've not seen it mentioned elsewhere.

Is there a mumsnet Facebook/Twitter/Instagram this could be discussed on?

Right, from now on I am caelgender. Screw changing rooms, I will wear fireworks to my local pool and jump off the high board fully-closed in nebulous scarves, before swimming around in circles across all the lanes. I also expect immediate government funding for my mission to outer space, surgery to make myself sparkly and a meteoritic rise through the ranks of the Labour Party. Don’t you dare oppress me!

Just shared this on my Facebook, hoping for no backlash...

Bumping. Still pledging me plus 5 more!

Somebody should message and/or tweet Janice Turner about the petition with a link. Share it with all the journalists willing to discuss it and any outspoken gender critical figure.

Will be signing when I get home to computer (nervous about getting anonymous settings wrong from my phone, sigh). Just commenting to help keep this thread active.

Got a few signatures. No real backlash, just someone who disagreed but gave me the opportunity to explain why she needs to look into it more.

Signed.

I agree. We need someone with a lot of followers to retweet this.

I'm still plucking up courage zuri and pickle. I've copied WPUK's intro and the link. It's all sitting here waiting for me to press send. WHY am I so scared? This fear is all kinds of wrong.
