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

Excellent!

Signed and now need to spend some time creating a clear statement to post on my social media with the petition link. Coming out of the woodwork!
(Before I get carried away, what type of work are people in where they would be concerned about being seen to sign this? I work in Education & Health and I feel it's frankly nobody's business. Is it because employers may see it as transphobic?)

Done, both me and DH have signed and I've shared on FB, over 300 signatures already

Signed. Shared too as I'm the first to sign in my constituency.

Signed and shared!

rockshandy the sages fact sheet has a great overview. The #ManFriday leaflet is a good intro.

Signed and tweeted (my twitter is anonymous).

Signed and shared with DH who is more radical feminist than me and will share at his workplace and damn the consequences

Signed.

(Yep he’s already texted me that he’s signed and forwarded)

Signed and shared on twitter

Signed and the link emailed to various contacts.

Isn't it shocking that people have to be cautious signing this through fear of repercussions from employers, etc.?

Just a request for consultation?

There is really nothing in the wording of this petition to worry about, it’s merely asking for women to be consulted with, you can’t get more mild than that

Signed!

Signed

Signed!

It’s extremely mild. I really hope that the message that this is about being pro-women and girls, NOT about being anti-trans, gets through.

I didn't see the map feature before. Someone else has signed in my tiny constituency! (Proud. And also - curious.)

Signed

Signed. How do I see the map?

I'm still not brave enough to share this yet, but I feel myself getting closer to outing myself as gender critical!

400 (at time of typing!)

Under the signatures bar there’s a little blue link saying ‘Show on a map’. It’s pretty cool: on a desktop you can hover over the constituencies to see how many people signed there and which party the MP belongs to.

Signed!!!
