Biological SEX MATTERS. How many mumsnetters say "aye" to this campaign? Part II

Previous OP:
This document and campaign called ‘Sex Matters’ is a collaborative effort by amazing and knowledgeable mumsnetters on a couple of threads in FWR. Here it is:
www.sexmatters.org.uk/sexmatters.pdf and a print friendly version

To move forward with the campaign, the organisations and individuals approached will need to know who is behind it, and the honest truth, is that mumsnetters have spearheaded it.

That does not mean that other campaigners can't get involved or even take greater ownership of it. But it needs a bio in order to introduce it to people and organisations to get started and I need your consent to describe the campaign this way: 'mumsnetter led' (and maybe even some suggestions for writing a bio on this thread).

So, you amazing gender-critical mumsnetters, do you say 'aye'?

How are things going, sexmatters?

Was thinking about wording for stickers to put up in toilets and changing rooms. Some sort of question or statement to pique interest. What do you think.

“Do single sex spaces like this one matter to you?”

“Should women be allowed to choose single sex spaces?”

Sexmatters that is such a helpful resource.. thank you for sharing it! Flowers

Sexmatters hope Ok I have just posted your link on the gender critical To Do list thread as a resource for people taking action on this issue.
It’s a really helpful document to show organisations or service providers who may be feeling wobbly about whether they can continue to provide women only stuff etc.

Just wanted to report back that one of my #sexmatters tweets has been retweeted by a Labour peer. Yay!

BoreOfWhabylon · 20/03/2018 08:24

Ooh! Which MP @BetsyM00 ?

DJLippy · 20/03/2018 12:57

Aye.

Fantastically clearly written. Thank you.

BetsyM00 · 20/03/2018 14:37

It is an Scottish ex-MP but I'd rather not say who - I'm trying to keep my Twitter separate from other social media.

I honestly believe men value their privacy and dignity in changing rooms and medical situations just as much as women do, so the sexmatters message is hitting home with them.

Milvusmilvus · 20/03/2018 21:17

Aye.
Motorway service station loos, stickers on the door, where women can read them at their leisure while sitting. Not on the wall behind the loo, that'll be for the men. Grin
