That's a different one. This one is Update the Equality Act.

the one in my OP is 'Repeal the GRA'.

'Update the EA' is a more evenly distributed ragey-red colour. 😊

Right - going to do a bit of terfing tomorrow morning with the dog walkers and get the signatures up in my area.

You know if suddenly there are 20 signatures in Tamworth tomorrow we'll know where you walk your dog! Tell them to space them out over the next few days.

Boiledbeetle · 28/12/2022 00:24

Ooh well done to the 2 people in Sefton Cental, taking you from 0 at my last check.

Boiledbeetle · 28/12/2022 00:28

Only 7 more constituencies to go before 100% coverage.

I feel I may be to invested, but I don't usually see petition numbers go up every time I look

FrancescaContini · 28/12/2022 01:25

Fascinating to see this, thank you. I love the fact that red is associated with anger, very appropriate 😡

EndlessTea · 28/12/2022 01:49

I find that map very moving OP

Cheekymaw · 28/12/2022 04:28

😍Ma auld hame toon is on fire! Proud! Miss it! Don't miss the SNP!

waterwitch · 28/12/2022 06:17

Surprised there isn’t more awareness in Wales, given the latest ‘indoctrinate your 3 year olds’ approach

It's strange that those women at the very top are so angry when they have a government that self-identifies as being the most morally superior of the whole isles.

This is so true. And most concerning!!

Whereareyourshoes · 28/12/2022 07:20

7,385 signatures this morning and still going up.

If anyone else would like to sign… ⬇️

I honestly thought the Scottish Parliament would put restrictions on sex offenders being able to obtain GRCs rather than making it easier for them. Am devastated our MSPs care so little for women and children.

GCtemp · 28/12/2022 08:26

Signed and bumping. That map is really heartening to see.

Cismyfatarse · 28/12/2022 08:59

Sorry @ArabellaScott I didn't know there were 2 useful ways of protesting loudly at our rights being removed. Will sign.

Incidentally, anyone on Twitter might enjoy the hashtag #ScottishNonceParty which has gone strong for days.

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 28/12/2022 09:47

Signed.

Tartan Taliban has me chuckling.

BadShepherd · 28/12/2022 10:03

AnyRandomName · 28/12/2022 10:16

Signed

FrancescaContini · 28/12/2022 10:58

Signed. Thank you 😊

nilsmousehammer · 28/12/2022 13:14

Delighted to see how many are coming from my county. Wish there was a local action group. Vive la resistance.

Whereareyourshoes · 28/12/2022 15:11

7,605 signatures. Wonder if we could get it to 10,000 by the New Year?

Boiledbeetle · 27/12/2022 22:50

So there's at least one pissed off person in nearly every voting constituency in the whole country.

With some trepidation I mentioned this in a group. The majority were prepared to sign and thanked me for bringing it to their attention as they weren't aware of it. Not pissed off, just understand the concern. I'm sure they'll get more pissed off the more they consider it, now they're aware.

ArabellaScott · 28/12/2022 17:26

Fantastic, Buzzinwithbez.

Stating the obvious, Arabella, but you do realise that when you say things like 'repeal the GRA' and threaten rights under article 8, you make it very easy for trans people to just point and say "these people are literally lobbying to remove our rights"?

Same with those who want to get rid of 'gender reassignment' in the EA - you're literally saying "I want to remove the long-held rights of a minority" and evidencing it for them.

However many likes and retweets you can muster on Twitter, in actual reality, this is not a winning strategy. One person I know has listed an absolute ton of times when gender critical activists have stated these exact things and it looks absolutely terrible.

ArabellaScott · 28/12/2022 17:38

So what? We've heard you all say how awful, terrible, and appalling we all are, for politely suggesting that women have rights protected in law.

Frankly, nobody cares about your empty threats anymore.

Bad law can be reviewed, and where necessary, repealed.

Nobody is saying anything wrong by suggesting that a law is badly worded and needs to be reviewed.

Ah evening again @EvilBee plying your trade in here i see

EndlessTea · 28/12/2022 17:42

It is absurd that a group of people successfully lobbied to falsify their identity documents - including their birth certificate. Of course this lapse in good sense should be repealed.
