I wish I could think of an angle to get it on one of the Prince Harry threads! Maybe it'll get a bump when the rest of the schools go back next week.

66,403 this morning, still plenty of time to add some more signatures. Follow the links ⬆️ and ⬇️ to the petitions board.

Update the Equality Act so that it is clear that sex = biological sex.

Thank you!

I shared the link with a friend yesterday - should be another 3 signatures.

Excerpt from
sex-matters.org

According to a report in the Telegraph, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also intends to “look to review the Equality Act to make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender”.

We are calling on the government to do this by using the power written into the GRA to modify the operation of the Equality Act 2010 to put it beyond doubt that the terms “sex”, “male”, “female”, “man” and “woman”, for the purpose of sex discrimination laws, mean biological sex and not “sex as modified by a Gender Recognition Certificate”.

Well done on spreading the news so far!
This is such an important discussion. Our MPs shouldn't need this encouragement... but they do.

Thank you it is. But have your read the thread about what Gillian Keegan has said re: sex based spaces in schools? Basically back tracking on guidance issued last summer that they are legal.

Despair!
Don’t think we are safe because we are not in Scotland.

I keep patrolling trending in case there's anything I can shoehorn it into. Not had much luck recently.

If anyone has a Times or Telegraph subscription, please consider posting the link in the comments of any relevant article if you're allowed.

That’s a good idea, Icake

The signatures have now reached over
2/3rds of the way towards the target 100,000.

Somehow it feels as though it would be good to get beyond the 60,000s.

I think we'll get to 100k by April, just need a few more big publicity drives.

66,803, that's a nice little leap.

Aaaaand a bump.
