The Guardian has a request for female voters to tell them what issues will decide their vote

[MotherOfCatBoy]

Not sure if it’s worth responding as God knows what they will choose to print, but perhaps worth 5 mins.

I was thinking of the other thread about the Rest is Politics and how gender critical views are seen as a side issue, rather than a majority issue…

Thanks, done. They probably will have to shield their eyes from the literal violence I just wrote

I've sent in some comments.

Thanks you, I've submitted a response.

Cheers, OP.

Thanks, completed.

I have also submitted a response. I’ll be very surprised if they publish it though. They’ll only publish those that support their agenda.

Done. I wonder if there’ll be a flicker of recognition on the subject

I typed a detailed reply but deleted it. I'm put off by the fact that they need my email address.

Done! Thanks, OP, for the heads-up.

Thanks, I have commented on how deeply sinister I find it to make less than 1% of the population into an electoral issue.

I’ll do it tomorrow when I can put some thought into it. It’s a bit odd because I don’t think they’ll publish but if they do, I want it to be logical and persuasive, so it needs thinking about!

Me too. I was very truthful but am uncomfortable giving a hostile organisation my contact details.

Echobelly - so every woman and girl adds up to 1% really ?

I sent a comment, and the link to the BBC story about the Labour Council who shouted me down when I asked for women to be consulted when they proposed a motion for all council toilets to be changed to "gender neutral."

Unlikely I'll hear back, I'm sure.

Done

Done. Thanks

Just sent it. Thanks for the heads up.

have shared that I'm voting on the issue of women's spaces. I've never voted Tory before and don't like many of their policies but our seat will be a toss up between Tory/Lib dem so we are voting for an opposition MP in any case.

The thought of a Labour government with a Lib Dem opposition fills me with horror. We need some plurality of thought in there.

Thanks; I've submitted.

Thanks OP, I’ve responded.

Yes, I will speculate that they'll say something like, "5,000 respondents said that helping transw get into the Ladies is a high priority!" Whilst ignoring the 30,000 saying the exact opposite.

I replied, saying that I was a lifelong Labour voter and was not voting for them again after our local candidate assured that he understood women and gender ID issues.
I got a reply asking if I’d have a 10 minute chat for the article, but unfortunately I was working all evening so had to decline.

At least they were interested enough to ask for more though.
