Thankyou to everyone who has signed, shared, discussed and thought about this petition

CircleSquareCircleSquare this is a brilliant idea!!!!

Can someone start a new thread with a link to a PDF or a place.where we can buy the stickers?

I've signed the petition but I am not in the UK so am sending it to people personally.

I sent it to my (74 y.o.) dm, who I know would agree and when she gets what it is about she will start talking about it.... But she said that she didn't understand what it is about.... I said I would email her some more information .. does anyone have simple-ish (layman terminology) middle of the road kind of info. that I could send her.

You can add links to stickers and leaflets directly in vistaprint.

I’d happily share my design if there was a safe way of me doing so, does anyone know if that is possible?

And by links I mean QR codes. Half asleep!

Circle - if you find a way to share safely, I would definitely start stickering up.

Stickering is a fab idea!

There are t-shirt printing sites where you can upload your own designs and they only print what they sell. I wonder if they'd do the same for stickers?

@Todayissunny this is a good factsheet: sages.org.uk

I’m going to get a fuck load of postcard sized fliers printed up. What words would you include, want it to be punchy but easy & quick to read with the petition details on it. Did anyone get a QR code they could pm me please?

Hi I've signed the Petition and about to write to my MP. Is there a suggested letter so I can get all the important points in?

Thanks for getting this going.

Who is a woman? Who is a man?

The government proposes to amend the law to allow people to self-identify as men or women.

If you want a say on women’s only or men only spaces and services, please sign this petition.

@NoRunAround SexMatters is putting together a template letter for MPs. We are encouraging people to add personal experiences and thoughts, and modify the letter as needed, as stock letters don't get the same level of response.

@athingthateveryoneneeds
Thanks. Any idea of timescale?

I think it's more or less complete, I'll ask if we are ready to distribute.

Me too!

I find the Bristol West numbers really interesting. Are the high numbers a backlash to the "terf" no-platforming at the University?

Here's the QR code... save it and see if it works.

Bristol is the Brighton of the SouthWest and the Bristol West constituency is its heartland. It covers central Bristol, Uni's, St Werbughs, St Pauls, Clifton. Lots of Greens, particularly at Local Council level. Think Bristol has or had a Green Party Mayor. So probably a lot of awareness of Trans/Self_ID and hopefuly lots of pushback.

I’d love to know how closely the petition map resembles a heatmap of MNers.

Cunty if you make them vistaprint you can generate a QR code whilst in the design area, simply by putting the url into the QR creator.

Thank you NoSquirrels. I’m poised to buy so just having another call out for opinion before I press the button.

CircleSquareCircleSquare I’m intending to use cheapestprintonline co uk as I can get 5000 A6 flyers for £20, that’s with postage, I’m not sure if I can use the QR code in the same way as vista but will copy & paste it in. Thank you tho.

Hi all, I've just had a reply from Maggie throup, Erewash.
Sounds positive.

@bebanjo

I've also heard back from M Throup today. Although her response is a bit non committal, I know that if she definitely didn't agree, she would say so, as I have contacted her previously about other things.

So I'm cautiously optimistic.

Catmint, I'm thinking it might be an idea to go and have a chat with her.
My email was quite short an sweet.
I'd like to go into more detail with her.
