I have just completed the online consultation.

Thank you to fairplayforwomen for the helpful guidance.

Once I got going I typed rather a lot!

It didn't take too long.

THERES ONLY A WEEK LEFT!!!

Do it today.

(Sorry can't link as I'm on my phone which keeps playing up!

Just finished and clicked submit!

I went whole hog and filled in my own, answering nearly all the questions, using the guidance.

Thanks you so much FPFW and WPUK for the guidance and all the work that you must have done over the past few years. And thank you to all the amazing posters on MN for shining sunlight on this issue.

I have never filled in anything like this before, I have never been galvanised to take action in this way. Apathetic you could say. No more!

Anyone else thinking of filling in the consultation please do it, this is so important. I guess we just wait now to see what the outcome is?

Let's hope the government listens to us.

Gooseflesh · 17/10/2018 00:59

I did it a few weeks ago. Some of the questions I left as they were unanswerable.
The continued assertion that the EA would be unaffected was frustrating.

heresyandwitchcraft · 17/10/2018 10:32

Bumping, thank you to everyone who is letting their voice be heard.

IdahoCrow · 17/10/2018 11:27

I ended up answering every question, but it took a very long time tbh, but I'm glad I did it.

I did raise the issue of how the consultation was flawed, in some detail.

Bowlofbabelfish · 17/10/2018 11:53

Submitted today. Very confusing questions and a very inaccessible consultation.

Gabcsika · 17/10/2018 12:23

I'm finishing it today, but the website is really REALLY slow.

I hope filling it in from the perspective of a gender disphoric who did not transition will add some weight to it.

Raspberry88 · 17/10/2018 12:35

I DID IT!!! I'm so pleased as I really wasn't sure I'd be able to get it done as I hadn't realised there was the one on the fair play website where you just have to put in your details. Glad I managed to do it myself though. I'm sure it won't be the best response but just happy to have said my piece!

Hubblebubbletripletrouble · 17/10/2018 12:40

Can anyone else not get on the website?

CrumpetsReconsidered · 17/10/2018 12:46

All done. The site was really slow and kept timing out. Incredibly tedious but I wanted to fill out the consultation fully. Thank you to Fairplaytowomen and all of the brilliant posters on mumsnet who have taken so much time and effort to raise and clarify these issues.
I need to go and sit in a darkened room to recover. Still lurking!

@EspressoButler

Yes.
But I tried and gave up on the website, which I guess was their intention, and used the great fpfw one click link instead.

I don't think so. I just think there must be an awful lot of people accessing the page. Hopefully lots of womz.

MsBeaujangles · 17/10/2018 13:04

Over the past two weeks I have been working on my submission whenever I have a half hour of so focus on it. I still have a few more questions to complete. However, I have just tried today and every page is taking ages to load - it has eaten in to the time I allocated for it today.
I WILL complete it all and submit it in time, but this really isn't helpful. Every other site is loading quickly so it isn't a wifi problem!

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 17/10/2018 13:05

I am having real problems accessing it, both on my mobile and on a networked computer.

I smell a rat!

JuneOsbourne · 17/10/2018 15:32

Just submitted mine too. And also encountered problems with the site. I'd urge anyone still to do it not to leave it until the last minute.

OldCrone · 17/10/2018 15:37

I've just submitted mine. The website was really slow - had to wait an age each time I clicked onto the next page. I started this morning, then saved and went back to it this afternoon - it was slower this afternoon than it was this morning.

heresyandwitchcraft · 17/10/2018 18:02

Thank you again to everyone who is filling this in.

Mistressiggi · 17/10/2018 19:14

Doing mine tonight. Have been some power cuts today so getting worried!

MrsDarcyIwish · 17/10/2018 19:53

Yup.
Did it this afternoon. Took longer than I thought and some of my answers were a bit ranty. The further I got into it, the more I just wanted to write THIS IS A LOAD OF OLD BOLLOCKS! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PLAYING AT, GOVERNMENT but I resisted 😉

InfiniteSheldon · 17/10/2018 19:57

Just finished it several of my answers consisted of two words: Karen White

stripes1 · 17/10/2018 21:04

Done mine. Website kept playing up which was a pain but got through all of it in my own words. There’s loads more I could have said, but just didn’t have enough time. Hoping every comment helps.

FadingMint · 17/10/2018 21:48

Completed and sent mine this evening. Website was terribly slow. The way the damned thing is written is extremely frustrating. Really grateful to Fair Play For Women and Woman's Place UK for their information and guidance.

PeakTrans · 17/10/2018 22:31

✔️ done ✔️

Stillnotready · 17/10/2018 22:34

Did mine a few weeks ago, dds submitted theirs too.
Thank you wise women of MN for educating and enlightening me.

JaggedHedge · 17/10/2018 22:38

Just finished Smile
