Fair Play For Women guidance to completing the GRA consultation: www.fairplayforwomen.com/full_guide/

If the Gender Recognition Act is reformed to allow anyone to change their legal sex by filling in a form, without a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, it will have huge implications for how children are assessed and treated.

(Apologies for another long thread with links - felt there were a lot of things happening at once and trying to pull them together)

Amazing
Many thanks heresy

Responding to the Equalities Act consultation is vital. .

The 'protected characteristic of 'gender reassignment' placed a Trojan Horse into women's spaces and lives already.

We may never recover those spaces for ourselves unless we protest that the definition has been used and abused by those without gender dysphoria.

I agree, theOtherPamAyres.
A lot of opinions to give, it appears.

Also here is another petition to sign!
Charge crimes by sex, not self-identified gender

I'm waiting for the kids to go back to school so I'll have time to devote to this. Thanks for all the signposting and guidance.

Same as ifonlyus. Thank you for this thread.

I am also just waiting for the kids to go back to school. I will then use this brilliant thread as a checklist of what I need to do.

Thank you OP. We've linked this thread on our twitter and recreated the links etc. We credited you as well. :)

Thanks for doing this. Much appreciated op

And keep this thread bumped.

Amazing thread thank you. Join a local GC women’s group through mumsnet to support and coordinate efforts.

So many things happening that the least I can do is try to pull a couple of things together, especially as other women have already done the real legwork.
On that note, this thread is really great for a 1-page summary of responses to the GRA (special shout out to Charliethefeminist)

Thank you heresy

Amazing thread, thank you (and to @Liverpoolresisters for leading me to it!)

Bumping in case it's helpful.

Brilliant thread.
Thank you.

And one more www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3355280-Anne-Lister-plaque-to-be-reworded

Anne Lister was famous for being a lesbian , among other things. A commemorative plaque has been put up describing her as ‘Gender non-conforming’. No, she was a lesbian.
Outcry has forced a rethink, and anyone can take part in the consultation.
