Main text of mine below, feel free to use/adapt. This is the one I sent to the Greens, the start was different for the Tory MP but the main section the same. I wanted to be fairly specific and give easily google-able examples.
Like many people, I have become more and more aware in recent years of the pressing need to lessen our impact on the environment. Climate change is a very real threat to our world.
However, there is one issue that currently prevents me from voting Green, and that is the issue of the systematic dismantling of women's rights under the guise of transgender "inclusivity". The most severe attack being that of the concept of Self-ID, that is, a person's right to self declare themselves as the opposite sex, with no gatekeeping. As I understand it, the Green party are intent on making Self-ID law and deny that there is any conflict between trans rights and women's rights.
To clarify, Self-ID allows any man to access services / spaces such as the following with NO medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria, NO hormone treatment, NO surgery. As such, a fully intact male would have the legal right to call himself a woman and gain full access to:
* Female toilets (including in schools)
* Female changing rooms (Marks and Spencer are the one of the latest to announce that customers can use whichever changing area in which they feel most comfortable)
* Women's sports (See Rachel McKinnon, Hannah Mouncey, Laurel Hubbard)
* All women's shortlists in parliament
* Women's prisons (see Karen White)
* Women's officer political roles (see Lily Madigan)
* Women's recreational facilities (see Hampstead Ponds)
* Women's intimate care (see Jessica Yaniv)
* Women's hospital wards
* Rape crisis centres
* Women's domestic violence shelters.
Any and all spaces designated 'female' or 'women only' will be open to any and all men under Self-ID.
Despite not yet being law, as the above examples illustrate, many businesses and organisations are already enacting self-ID policies, to the detriment of women and girls. So insidious is this ideology that the very definition of woman, 'adult human female', is now seen by trans-rights activists as hate speech.
It is important to note that when the Gender Recognition Act was created, it was thought to cover only 4-5,000 transsexuals who suffered significant gender dysphoria. However, with the rapid and significant expansion of the 'transgender' concept, the number of people to who this would apply is far, far more, and would include autogynophiles - men who derive sexual thrills from dressing as, and playing the part of, women.
If you could clarify your position on the Green party policy, and your thoughts on this attack on the rights of women and girls, I would very much appreciate your response, so that I may make an informed vote on December 12th.
