Update the Equality Act to make clear the characteristic “sex” is biological sex

[Sidaway]

There's an active petition you can sign to this effect, if you're so inclined.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to link to it directly? Anyway, if you enter this thread's title into Google, it should come up.

There are 5 petitions ahead of us that haven't made 100k yet and 7 that have. They are all older than ours.

Bump!

Wow so good to see the numbers have gone up so much!

Thank you!

Still needs more signatures, so just bumping this thread

Bump!

I have no idea why my post was deleted, but anyway. Bump!

Did you include a link to the petition maybe? They're only allowed on the petitions and activism board.

Thanks Errol. Maybe I did? Not sure. I can’t remember what wrong content I posted.. but it was definitely before coffee, so I assume that I wasn’t going too wild.
Anyway. Every post’s a bump, so…

Quite so!
Here's a link to the P&A thread which contains the link.

My corner of the north east is a pleasing dark orange but I don't mean Hexham which boasts a lovely vermilion.

Bump!

Bump.

Wow it's gone crimzon up here in the north of Scotland! The word is getting around at a pace now.

Keep it going! It's really interesting seeing the constituency numbers. Good way to put the pressure on.

What happened on Skye? Amazing.

The heat map is a bit misleading because it's a percentage of the constituents so the big sparsely inhabited Highlands and Islands don't need as many signers to show up as nice big red blobs. It's all good though.

You can toggle between % of constituents and no of votes

Posted on facebook page - I don't have many followers at all but I've put it out there 😮for all to see!

Is there anyone in Northern Ireland who can spread the word? Numbers seem surprisingly low there, maybe it's not on the general public's radar there so much as elsewhere in the U.K.?

Well done @SallyLockheart Crazy that it’s an act of bravery to be open about it! Good work 💪🏼

It's still going up v slowly ☹️. I've sent it to my ex husband to sign just to move my constituency from 99 to 100. It's been annoying me 😄

Does anyone know if JK Rowling has shared - surely she could garner a good following?? I don't have Twitter or Instagram so can't check 🤞

Bump!

And another bump.

I helped my mum to sign tonight. Just by filling it in for her and then telling her to click the link to verify it is her. She's going to tell her friends how to do it.
