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.

It’s really gathering pace, we’ll done every body.
if you WhatsApp links to the petition, how do you explain it in a sentence?

52K!

I have signed this one, but also signed another to repeal the GRA altogether (also easy to find via google if you want to) as ultimately I think we need rid of this nonsensical "legal fiction" that men can become women at all (or vice versa) to be able to get out of this mess...

I signed that one too, no idea why it isn’t getting more traction. Ultimately it has to be the answer. The GRA is bad law and unworkable in practice.

And another one not getting much attention and is against brainwashing children about ‘gender identity’ in school through their RSE lessons.

I’m not sure the UK can do that, unless it ceases to be a signatory to the ECHR

53k+ when I last looked.

I wonder if this petition could also be highlighted on that Twitter thread TransWomenAreConMen which is about not putting up with a lie?

Someone has for example posted a petition there against Cambridge Dictionary’s latest definition of female which is more or less an non-definition, and adds a warning that the word ‘female’ is offensive. I am sure they are following advice to ‘get ahead of the law’ given female is a first and foremost a biological descriptor. ‘Sex’ in the Equality act could have no meaning if ‘female’ is divorced from its biological meaning and never defined.

The map showing signatures is getting redder and redder in Scotland, the darker the red the more signatures there are.
Too late for them. Their judiciary has judged sex to mean gender, and their parliament has just voted in self id for Gender Recognition Certificate including GRCs for 16 year olds - against the will of the majority of the people.

England’s part of the map is complacently yellow and orange.

When will we march? If I were in Scotland I’d be on the streets for this. And I never protest. This deserves the biggest uprising in modern times.

There are some deeper spots on the map in England too. The lesbian/reality-based feminist community of little Hebden Bridge is making itself known, for example, as are communities in Cambridge, Brighton and Manchester. 👏

I saw Hexham in Northumberland is red too.
