I'm autistic and filling out anything is hard for me.

I'm currently on question 3 and have no idea what to put.

There’s guidance on the FairPlay for women site captain.

For anyone else reading this - it's a mass of questions but FPFW's guide indicates that we only need to answer 8 if we wish, we don't have to go through the whole thing (many questions will not apply to us).

And, filling in the consultation is what is important. Even Yes/No as an answer is enough if you don't want to provide an explanation/comment, that that's OK.

I'm going to put a barebones summary of Y/N below. for answers in line with FPFW

Go to Question 3. Answer Yes.

Go to Question 9. Answer No.

Go to Question 12. Answer Yes.

Go to Question 13A. Answer Yes.

Go to Question 14. Answer Yes.

Go to Question 15. Answer Yes.

Go to Question 19. Answer Yes.

FPFW would like you to do this for 22 and comment but you do not have to do anything but list some issues if you want or not comment beyond 'Yes'.

Go to Question 22. Answer Yes.

Possibly comment for 22.
The consultation has not covered the far-reaching consequences for other groups of people would would be affected by this.At present, there doesn't seem to be any consideration for the protected characteristics such as:
sexual orientation;
religious faiths that do not permit mixing with males or require females to be covered in the presence of males;
maintaining the safeguarding of children and vulnerable groups.

I do not want changes to the Gender Recognition Act until I am confident the Government fully understands the implications in wider society to ensure other groups do not have their protections removed.

Consultation ends there. Submit.

We really don't have to put in any answers beyond Yes/No tho' it's helpful to have something for Q22.

I'm sorry to @ you, @Bowlofbabelfish - not least because you have your hands full with petri dish - but is there anything in particular that you think we should highlight as absent in plain sight for Q22 or any other question?

placemarking to remind me to do this this week.

gendercritter · 02/10/2018 16:18

Right I just filled it in. Many things have made me angry regarding this issue in the last year but doing that has made my blood boil in my veins.

I am so angry.

Women matter very little don't they? I have a disability and I couldn't fill it in as thoroughly as I wanted to (I did write that that was the case) but I did my best.

I'd urge anyone lurking who feels daunted by it to have a go - if you can't answer every question you can still send it in. They don't insist on them all being answered.

LizzieSiddal · 02/10/2018 16:22

Im marking my place as am going to fill in this weekend. I hope lots of others do too!

Thank you for starting the thread and for the help provided.

Pantah630 · 02/10/2018 17:26

Thank you for the link, just finished completing mine.

Coyoacan · 02/10/2018 19:08

Thanks so much, I have finally managed to fill it in.

Thethiniceofanewday · 02/10/2018 20:31

Will our names and addresses be kept confiential? I am concerned about real life fallout if they are published.

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 02/10/2018 20:43

I was worried too but they are, it even goes over the data protection act at the start.
