It's here:

I'm getting pretty tired of the SNP being so woke that they've fallen asleep again.

Nobody Scottish who I've spoken to who knows what self-ID is supports it. The problem is that there's been a concerted effort to force it through before most of the public notices what's being planned and has time to object.

According to peaktrans transcript of Kirkup piece:

In the debate, Victoria Atkins, the impressive Home Office minister navigating this minefield, reported that a Government consultation on reforming gender-change laws has had more than 100,000 responses. This issue matters to a lot of people.

Is the >100,000 (previously dubbed the Mumsnet Effect in another piece) the England-Wales one alone?

I think so, it was a completely separate consultation.

For comparison, the Trans Equality Inquiry of 2015 had 209 written responses.

serfisaslur There were 15,697 responses in total. When i referred to 1,180 that was the number of people who answered a specific question in the consultation. I think i read somewhere that it was the highest numbert the SG had received for any consultation (but I'm doubting myself on that now!)

Oh, thanks for clarifying x

I had a quick look at Stonewall and they're claiming:

Tens of thousands of you have responded to the consultation through our website.
