This is brilliant. I've printed mine off. Have envelopes ready to go... now how long will it take me to get to the damned post box?!

@highame

I've just printed mine off but noticed that BBC's person of interest is Megha Mohan whose title is Gender & Identity Correspondent. What does this mean? is there a Women's Correspondent a well? If not is the BBC taking licence payers money and using it in a biased way. Someone help me out please. Shouldn't the title be Sex, Gender and Identity Correspondent?

The Guardian is also a TRA citadel. Julie Bindel has written about TRA and the media: thecritic.co.uk/issues/january-2020/triumph-of-the-trans-lobbyists/

Love this!

I would sing, but people tend to run away screaming...

Happy birthday JK.

[quote ThumbWitchesAbroad]@MiraWard77 - how do you mean? She appears to be in favour of TWAW[/quote]
I meant it in a disappointed/horrified way, but did it badly. I decided not to dig myself a hole.

I did see some discussion afterwards and it was very interesting how the GC/RadFem lot didn't supply all the horrific threats that the TRAs use against people they disagree with. Some hilarious comments on whether people were allowed to disagree but still appreciate her work!

I'll have a proper look at this later today. Saw some references to it on Twitter earlier. Sounds like a brilliant idea!

@MiraWard77 - ah I did wonder if it was a tone of disappointment!

Yes, the reaction to her rather ambivalent statements has been very different indeed! I feel she may be fence sitting, but she has linked to the Scientific American article on the "new science" [!] of sex and gender and a couple of other things that suggest she's more on the TRA side than not.

Fabulous idea.

This is brilliant!

This is a great idea, I will definitely be participating!

I hope we can keep this thread bumped high enough over the next couple of weeks that as many people as possible see it.

Just bumping this for you again as it's so important. I have printed out my letters!

I’m hoping for volunteer owls —bump—

Owl post! I'm downloading more letters and sending them to other outlets

Downloaded, envelopes and stamps at the ready. Would it be very naughty to fill the bbc's envelope with environmentally friendly glitter? Asking for my DM.

Bahaha glitter sounds perfect

Oh glitter is a genius idea!

Um, environmentally friendly glitter? Asking for my inner 8 year old.

I've printed off my letters -bump-

May decorate the envelopes since I only have black ink in my printer.

Super.

@highame I think we should add a 'sex' prefix to the job title for bbc. A little extra fix for them ;)

Bumping as deadline is approaching.

Brilliant idea, will definitely send to all mentioned. Thanks for posting OP.

Will send them same time as my card for Kate Bush birthday on 30th July

The letters are a fantastic idea but just so everyone knows, you can email too! The text of the letter and the necessary email addresses are all provided at the link.

Just in case you're like me and think "ooh, that's a great idea . . . must get stamps . . . must find paper . . . oh no, no ink in the printer!" And then you never quite get around to sending people actual physical letters
