7104 now!

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 19:45

That’s great Terfragette69!

I started an AIBU thread earlier, so I think that is giving it some traction.

Melamin · 21/03/2018 19:49

7118 now, so definitely some traction going on Smile

Freshlylaidterf · 21/03/2018 19:53

Great!

BlackeyedSusan · 21/03/2018 20:15

there is a thread in chat that has raised some awareness and some signatures have come from that.

it is still very bloody slow though, but the chat thread has raised todays projected signature rate of about 120 to 200+

and as someone else says, everylittle helps.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 21/03/2018 20:16

@CircleSquareCircleSquare great thread Flowers

BlackeyedSusan · 21/03/2018 20:20

xpost and wrong, doh.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 20:35

It’s my personal target to raise the daily count by at least 50 off my own back. We HAVE to do this.

Terfragette69 · 21/03/2018 20:40

No word from Ricky yet. For God's sake it's like he has a life or something, not sat flipping back and forth from mums net and twitter!

Silk29 · 21/03/2018 20:52

We have until 12 September 2018 to reach the required 100,000 signatures. This means about 534 signatures per day are needed.

Progress is steady, but these petitions are all reach. Beyond Mumsnet, I haven't seen anything about the petition. I completely understand why people don't want to share publicly (the trans mob are very threatening and aggressive), though I will do what I can to spread the word.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 20:53

7205!

StickStickStickStick · 21/03/2018 20:54

Oooh it's getting there!!

Melamin · 21/03/2018 20:57

LOL - I was hoping it would get to 7100 before I got to bed. Early night then Grin

Melamin · 21/03/2018 21:46

It is on 7252 and I can't make my mind up as to whether to go to bed now since it is higher than expected, or wait until it reaches 7300.........

I really need to sleep Confused

Freshlylaidterf · 21/03/2018 21:52

Go to sleep then you might get a nice surprise in the morning! I must sleep too. All this terfings exhausting!

Melamin · 21/03/2018 21:54

My AIBU is going great guns, let’s hope it doesn’t go bye bye for some reason.

Medrad · 21/03/2018 22:08

I thought I'd signed last week, but turns out I didn't click the link in my email. Oops. Done now Smile thanks for the reminder!

Silk29 · 21/03/2018 22:10

7,300. Goodnight Melamin

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 22:25

7315!

Polynerd · 21/03/2018 22:35

I haven't signed because I'm scared that I'll be sacked if discovered. I have no idea what privacy is like on these government petitions.

Silk29 · 21/03/2018 22:42

Polynerd The person who created the petition's name is displayed but anyone who signs it will remain anonymous. From the website, "We won't publish your personal details anywhere or use them for anything other than this petition."

I would only suggest you use a personal email address, not a work one.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 22:48

Does anyone know if it’s possible to make a QR code linking to a website you don’t own? I would like to put the link to this on some stickers I’m going to distribute and QRA would ideal.
