Tell your story ! (Maya's survey)

[MForstater]

Mumsnetters.... I am collecting stories.

I would like to collect as many stories as possible of people who have debated and objected to the imposition of gender ideology - loudly, quietly, publicly, anonymously etc.......

Will you tell your story by filling in the survey here ? forms.gle/fd1ZQgNPPLLVG5o49

It starts with a few multiple choice questions and then it asks you to write your story in three short paragraphs:

Why does this issue matter to you?
What have you been able to do to raise your voice?
Have there been any consequences for you?

The whole thing takes about 10 minutes

You can give as much or as little personally identifying information as you want,

I will collate and publish these stories and data together online.
This will be a record of who we are and why we have spoken up (and hopefully encourage more people to speak up if they can).

What a great idea.

Great idea, thank you.

Arrgh, I started but I'm too tired, my head's mush. I'll do it when I can think properly and give coherent answers!

I stopped at the google login, I don't have one

Just filled this in. In case anyone's wondering, Maya is taking stories from people outside the UK, too.

Try again now @Sciencemightsaveyoustoriescant

I have completed, but feel nervous to submit in case this is faked for sinister purposes. I am not usually paranoid, but this subject is the one thing that tips me that way. Is there anyway MNHQ can verify you/the link Maya?

Sorry to be so lily-livered!

Done

Done it. Worth doing. I've sent a link and asked others to do so too.

I'll fill in. I was kicked off Facebook in 2018 (after 14!!! Years on Facebook) and account deleted for unspecified "breaches of community guidelines". The only controversial thing I had posted was a Times article relating to Natacha Kennedy's attempts to get academics fired and saying they should have used normal academic methods (articles in journals etc) to counter their opponents' arguments and win the debate, instead of starting facebook groups and writing to people's universities to get them fired.

Is there anyway MNHQ can verify you/the link Maya?

Maya has posted the same link from her Twitter account, which is pretty certainly genuine.

Done

partystress On Maya’s twitter here mobile.twitter.com/MForstater/status/1268945417661812743

partystress this is definitely Maya you have no need to worry on that account.

Thanks all. Will press submit

done!

Done, but I don’t think I managed to get across just how much space this takes up in my head. How I lie awake at night worrying for my daughter’s future, how I feel completely unheard and like nobody cares about women, including women themselves. How a male cousin has tried to explain to me why I’m defining women incorrectly and when I tried to be diplomatic I got a “thanks for trying to listen and understand” with no suggestion that he would do the same. Hopefully other people will be able to express this stuff better when they fill the form in. Thanks for doing it anyway. You are a hero.

Did mine today. It's the least I can do as I'm sometimes scared of doing more in real life (and slightly ashamed of that).

@MForstater - done, thank you

Completed, although I didn't have much to contribute I wanted to add my voice. Thank you Maya, we are behind you.

Done. Scary how used I am to censoring what I say

Bumping this thread.

Just done, thank you @NonnyMouse1337 for bumping.

I will get on this this evening.

Done, doesn’t take long.
