Can I suggest anyone on Twitter sharing this petition uses existing hashtags such as #peaktrans #labourlosingwomen #transcult
I don't have a Twitter account but often click on hashtags when something takes my interest.

Think they have silk

But still no Merthyr ... I am intrigued, because it’s such a Labour stronghold- but not one woman is pissed off with Labour’s stance on women?

Nosquirrels part of it is getting the word out, there's a lot of women who won't have been on MN in the last two days or who have missed the threads.

I'm still 50 % of the Argyll&Bute petition signing contingent, actually the entire West and North coast from Argyll up over to North of Aberdeen adds up to only 24 so far.
dd, also 13, would like to sign, but I wonder if under voting age and not being a British citizen (albeit born here) might be pushing it a bit.

seafood I’m not in NES, but you are the doughnut to my middle . 19 of us in Bath.

Have started another thread with a clearer title for when it comes up it ‘Active’. Can we keep both bumped please?

Anyone who can add new links (eg to fair play for women) most welcome on my thread.

@spindelina I used to live in Bath until quite recently, still under Bath council oddly!

Igneococcus: I had questioned that, but there is no age limit. Think of a petition in the street, your child could sign it and and send to Parliament on issues they care about.

Kids are being told that if they feel stereotypical male or female behaviours of the opposite sex, it means they're inhabiting the incorrect body.

My daughter understands - and asked to sign.

She has a good understanding of the issue, she is also the child of two biologists. She is very interested in politics and history (want to become a history teacher), watches and reads the news, so this is enirely her decision to sign not something to please her parents. And any changes to the law will affect her probably a lot more than me.
I'll tell her after school she can sign if she still wants to (I'm sure she will).

Excellent - she sounds fabulous and a lot like my daughter (except for the two Biologists bit!).

It's heartening to see not all young teens have bought into the craziness, Igne

They did some thing at school once where her socials class voted who is the most likely class member to become a politician and she got over 50% of the vote. I can see why her classmates think that
