There is feedback from UK residents online. Please speak up against the inclusion of gender identity in this legislation. Deadline is 11pm tonight.

[Precipice]

Such a deluge of comments in so short a time! So clearly no attempt to publicise or encourage. The Czechs must have gotten hold of this a little earlier/more prominently - they start c. 17th - going through I see Czech, Czech, someone else, Czech, Czech, Czech XD

From my country, Ordo Iuris commented today - no friend to women, but on side for freedom of speech at least.

[BlackeyedSusan]

it needs to be written in the history books that I managed to respond to something before the dead line.

[Womansisterdaughtermother]

Well done again to @takeawaydinner! Maybe we made a difference today

[ahagwearsapointybonnet]

Drat, think I saw this just too late as still waiting for account confirmation email and it'll be too late to do when it comes. But well done everyone who gave feedback!

[SomeonesRealName]

Just completed it - well I wrote what I could given that I only had about ten minutes from finding this thread to pressing send! Thanks for alerting me to it!

[Olderbadger1]

Final bump. Worth sticking your oar in even if you just tell them that sex is real and gender id isn't... and that hate speech puts us on the road to totalitarianism.

[ArabellaScott]

I can't ever get over Sturgeon telling people the consultation on GRA reform was to persuade or convince people of its benevolonce.

Half an hour to go, wims! EU people or not, one might be arrested on holiday one time, I suppose!

[MrBond]

Why do we get a say if it's an EU thing? Not complaining, but it seems odd.

[Olderbadger1]

Me too Arabella. It would be interesting (is that the word I want?) to follow up consultation results and related legislative outcomes. Wonder how many are undertaken with an open mind. Or any sentient mind at all really.

[ArabellaScott]

The responses seem very anti hate-crime. Which is heartening. I hope they listen.

[Olderbadger1]

Thanks Woman (and all) - it did take ages to come through. Bloody Brexit.

All done now - looks as if the majority of responses are anti the inclusion of gender identity which is cheering. Also some significant replies from the Czech Republic with memories of life in a totalitarian state. Chilling.

Off to the Bluestocking for a well-earned pint now...

[ArabellaScott]

Check spam?

[BlackeyedSusan]

It seems to be an login for anything EU, so if you have responded before it will be looking for that email. Is there a change password option?

[Womansisterdaughtermother]

It took about 7 mins to get email @Olderbadger1

[Olderbadger1]

Can't get in to the flipping site. I eventually managed to jump the code hurdle but the email it said it would send me hasn't appeared and when I try to get in again it says I'm already registered. And then won't let me in anyway.

Anyone else?

[Womansisterdaughtermother]

Bumping for the late evening readers.... Thanks again OP. The comments are overwhelmingly for our cause. Did anyone else read the breathtaking submission from The Countess? A Round the World dash detailing female erasure in a few paragraphs.

[OhHolyJesus]

Arabella 😆😆😆*

How crazy is it that for an 8 week consultation, with all the smart and connected women we have on this board, this nearly slipped through the net...

Cheeky fuckers and a great save by the OP.

[takeawaydinner]

Bump. Only 5 hours left.

[ArabellaScott]

If you copy the code and get it wrong it then speaks it.

It puts the lotion in the basket ...

Glad you got in, OhHoly!

[BlackeyedSusan]

I think someone has published that this is happening somewhere in the Czech Republic media as there are loads of submissions from there.

[Thecatonthemat]

Very interesting to see the other submissions, nearly all objecting with a few notable exceptions. Nice to have space to say it in our own words. However went back and lost the pages . Seems a good thing to do today.

@ArabellaScott

I didn't get a spoken code, that's odd ... is there no alternative? I hate those 'tick the squares with a hill' things, most of the time almost anything could be or not be the thing specified.

[BlackeyedSusan]

you could choose either the written captur or press a play button, presumably for the letters read out.

I was able to read the comments first. gave me an idea if I could write anything sensible

[OhHolyJesus]

It was a weird thing I didn't understand but I wasn't really concentrating - deadlines make me freak out! I'm in it now. Digging up my old hate crime submissions for a cut and paste....
