I should never have agreed to let them photo me in the hat Blush

I’m going for the postcard option. Can’t find anything cheaper than this though for A6.

I'll have some, I'll pm you.

@Yes the hat is awesome!

@KingLouieCatz
What should I say if I e-mail my MP?

There was a brilliant letter posted, hang on, I’ll look...

SimonBridges · 18/03/2018 09:36

Not a great article to be honest. It didn’t really get the point across that you were trying to make.

LizzieSiddal · 18/03/2018 09:58

It may not be a “great” article but it’s getting the story out there.

As they say ”There’s no such thing as bad publicity”

Ihavesomeballs · 18/03/2018 09:59

We all need to post our comments on that article!

Flooffloof · 18/03/2018 10:12

Very fetching Yes, I have shared on fb and Twitter.
Hopefully some people will sign on the back of this. Can't understand why so few have signed the petition.
Can only be because it's not mainstream enough.

Flooffloof · 18/03/2018 10:16

5687 currently

thenightsky · 18/03/2018 10:30

Ah fuck it. I've just taken the plunge and posted the link to the petition on my public FB feed.

YesItsADebate · 18/03/2018 10:45

Thanks Star @thenightsky

I'm going to put info on other un-moderated articles, referencing this. They didn't allow much negative comment on the swimming article.

The article in the independent is the best article out of all 3. More balanced and gives a link to the petition.

Helmetbymidnight · 18/03/2018 12:55

The numbers aren't going up v quickly because many won't put this on fb or twitter - (I include myself in this)

Helmetbymidnight · 18/03/2018 12:55

Ah well done, the night sky Flowers

SnibbleAgain · 18/03/2018 12:57

Signed this and waddles one about dangerous driving as well Smile

Flooffloof · 18/03/2018 13:02

5853 sigh. And I even put up link on tw and fb. Bang goes my job, maybe.

Ihavesomeballs · 18/03/2018 13:05

I think we need a mass 'coming out' day, as in questioning the self ID issue, make it acceptable question this issue...."please be kind I'm only asking "?? Sort of event whereby you have a 'supporting trans' stance but just have some concerns re self ID?? Make it more palatable perhaps, even though it goads us!

Ereshkigal · 18/03/2018 13:06

This will go up and up with a surge every time there is a public peak trans event. It will definitely force a formal response from government. It's a lot more than previous GC petitions have managed.

Elletorro · 18/03/2018 13:09

Hi all

I shared the woman’s centre in Horton’s Facebook link to the petition on Facebook and prefaced it with: politicians are nitwits don’t leave it up to them

SnibbleAgain · 18/03/2018 13:09

Have shared on FB under my Radfem handle Smile

SnibbleAgain · 18/03/2018 13:19

Although I've already seen it shared a lot in those circles and most of my friends are usa / canada.

SnibbleAgain · 18/03/2018 13:19

But still Smile
