Excellent article in The Bookseller by Jo Glanville (whom I've never heard of before now. A clear statement of support.

I signed with my real name but chickened out of sharing on FB. I'd like to now but can't see how to do it retrospectively. Any advice?

SirSamuelVimes · 06/10/2020 20:59

Three signatures away from 18k!

@Davros could you just copy the link and do a Facebook post that way?

Well worth celebrating - and the comments are fantastic - men and women making powerful and respectful comments.

Davros · 06/10/2020 21:20

SirSamuelvimes I will try that. I'm being a wimp, making excuses not to declare myself

TheChampagneGalop · 06/10/2020 21:21

18000 fabulous humans.

I'm the same. I signed with my real name and I shared privately to a couple of people who I know would be in favour. But I haven't gone public yet. It's hard. I think (hope) we all understand that on here.
FindTheTruth · 06/10/2020 22:01

264 celeb signatories now

yes the comments are fantastic - reasonable, funny, grateful

Davros · 06/10/2020 22:05

I've shared!! I expect nothing will happen and no-one will say anything

Lozzie51 · 06/10/2020 22:20

I've just signed. First petition for me.

I didn’t think we had that many on FWR, after all, isn’t that the only place this topic is ever discussed? 🤔
SirSamuelVimes · 06/10/2020 23:27

Plus it's well known that there's only six of us, don't forget. Wink

According to my son "everyone" disagrees with JKR, and he is firmly of the belief that I am responsible for faking up to and including all of the signatures......

HermioneMakepeace · 07/10/2020 02:15

Signed! I feel bad it took me so long. I had some earlier (completely unwarranted) privacy concerns but then ended up signing with my real name anyway.

HermioneMakepeace · 07/10/2020 02:20

@PyongyangKipperbang My DS is the same. He thinks he’s being a feminist by supporting trans people. When I give him facts supporting my GC stance, he looks at me like I’m mad. He genuinely doesn’t believe the things I’m telling him.

We need a documentary that everyone can watch because nobody believes us.

lightlypoached · 07/10/2020 08:09

Done, thanks @glimmer

JKRowlingforever · 07/10/2020 08:36

18,000 people signing. Is this the first mass gathering of gender criticals?
