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

Oh that's good cloud tree but I expect he may find the link interesting anyway.

But that link is a bit dodgy tbh. Having looked at it more closely the article is not entirely objective (although certainly highlights some extremely valid concerns) and that doesn't help the cause in the long run.

Oh suited, sorry, I thought you meant set it up and do it immediately.

Signed and shared

@SexMattersUK on twitter has just tweeted the link to the petition.

We need a decent hashtag

#alwaysdebate

I was tweeting the petition yesterday evening under the #waronwomen hashtag that was associated with the House Of Commons meeting. (it's a tag that is used for a lot of campaigns but yesterday evening was almost exclusively about the meeting).

I'll add those into the mix

Signed, number 4774 :) will get DH on it later!

I'm not on Twitter so I'm not entirely sure how it works. Do you just tweet to an audience of followers, or can you tweet directly to people, like writing on their Facebook wall? And if so, can people who follow them see your tweet?

What I'm getting at is would it be visible to anyone else if we tweeted a link to the petition to high profile people with lots of followers?

USING TWITTER

Google "Who sees my Tweets"

Loads of easy to use info - sorry just going out so no time to write proper answer!

Your tweets only go to your followers - unless you begin the tweet with @FamousPerson and tweet them directly - but then just FamousPerson will see it and can choose to ignore it. The only was @FamousPerson’s followers will see it is if they choose to retweet it.

Northwest Hampshire's gone orange!!

RIght - come on Staffordshire Moorlands. You're next!

Glasgow East?? Come on Glasgow East, I don't believe there are no feminists in Glasgow East.

Have you seen this?

Yay! Go David Davies

Only 11 grey areas - there were 25 yesterday morning. No idea why they are so persistent.

Is it slower today or am I impatient? Keep clicking on it hoping to see it change to £5000

Yay! (re David Davies!)

Lewisham is doing well too! In fact lewisham Deptford is in the lead!!
Lewisham and Deptford council covers the area where Millwall FC football ground is. There’s probably a fair few locals who didn’t previously give a toss about this issue until a bunch of aggressive TRAs forced the club to abandon that meeting. The average Millwall fan doesn’t like being told what to think, (do you, Dad?)

I have just signed but the email link hasn't come through????
Does it take a while?

It will be in your junk file

If you # famous people instead of @ them, then anyone who searches their name will see it

not in junk either. Perhaps I'll just sign again.

I'm really glad to see David Davies tweeting his support, hopefully it'll inspire some more MPs to speak out.
