Dear [MP’s Name],

Congratulations on your recent election as our new Member of Parliament. As one of your constituents, I am writing to express my concerns and to urge you to take a stand on several important issues affecting our community.

Firstly, I am deeply concerned about the need to defend women’s rights. It is crucial that we maintain single-sex spaces and ensure fairness in women’s sports. These measures are essential to protect the rights and safety of women and girls.

Furthermore, I believe it is vital to support children who may be experiencing confusion about their gender identity. We must ensure that children who may think they are gay are not incorrectly guided towards believing they are transgender. It is imperative that we provide the right support and care for all children, based on sound evidence and careful consideration.

In this regard, I strongly support the findings of the CASS review and believe that we should follow the guidance provided to schools against teaching gender ideology. It is important that educational environments remain focused on providing balanced and factual information, safeguarding the well-being of all students.

I am very grateful that, as my new MP, you will take my wishes and those of other constituents into consideration. I trust that you will represent our community with dedication and integrity, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact of your efforts on these critical issues.

Thank you for your attention to these matters. I wish you all the best in your new role and hope to see positive changes under your leadership.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]

Please, do it now, won't take a second.

It's grim @MarieDeGournay.

Having pored over his website and personal statements there is no mention of women or of trans stuff at all, so I'm now wondering what he might be hiding. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll put my thinking cap on.

Just found out he's buddies with Layla Moran...😬

so what does that make you? A spammer, who's mail will be glanced at once, and then deleted every time it pops up.

Don't waste your one glance by emailing today, or this week, or this month

Don't be a spammer. That is how to trigger the automatic delete finger.

I don't think people here have any concept what so ever of the sheer volume of emails that go into these mail boxes, and how fast they are classified as spam or worth reading, and the recommendations given here GUARANTEE that you will be immediately classed as nuisance spam and never given a second glance.

My box was set up to divert repetitive and c/p emails and circulars strait into secondary folders, which were I never opened, although an admin assistant would dole out stock CP answers

I am giving you information because of the level of ignorance on MN, which is really shocking. You are not going to be communicating an issue to your MP, you are going to be dealt with as nuisance spammers.

If you want to communicate, then write personally, and specifically about your constituency, and in a couple of months time.

My new MP is a Sinn Féin MP and therefore refuses to take a seat at Westminster (and SF have changed to being very supportive of identity politics in recent years too) so I have no idea if writing to my new MP about my concerns regarding women’s issues will do any good🤷‍♀️

Anyone got any alternative suggestions in terms of letter writing for me?

We went Labour in my area, but mine's so brand new he doesn't have an email at Westminster yet. I have copied and pasted the template on to a Word document and as soon as he's got one I'll be sending it off to him.

Sinn Féin have been pro-trans for yonks, they were actually the ones who introduced the Gender Recognition Act in the Oireachtas.

Since the Referendum results in the Republic, though, they seem to have pulled back a bit on the trans issue - not a squeak about it in their local/MEP election material, as far as I could see. They suffered in the election by appearing too 'woke' for a lot of their supporters around immigration, so they might well be getting some flak over their TWAW stance as well.
I think it's worth nudging them in NI too.

Since I seem to be the self-appointed generator of Machiavellian things to say in letter to public representatives😉-
maybe point to the SNP, who nailed their colours so vehemently to the gender identity mast and have been rebuffed spectacularly by the electorate, and who is to say that their extreme gender politics did not contribute..... ? = a warning to SF?

I sound like a broken record, but honestly, get chatGPT 4o to help you, type some bullets in, say what you want, press go, you can easily weave it in

Thats just not true. Every time I have written a letter to an MP - I have got a response, a personal one and I know the issue has been logged with them. And then I keep following up - giving up is not the answer, waiting is not the answer, starting hard, polite and now - is the answer

@CandidateX how do you advise relating this to my own constituency - I'm concerned about the PSHE policy in my kids' school (which is not in my constituency), but lots of stuff that I want my new MP to do are at a national level - I want them to make sure that the draft statutory guidance for schools is implemented, I want them to clarify PACE procedures for the police to allow crime stats to be recorded by sex not gender, I want them to implement the Cass Review, and I want them to clarify that sex in the EA2010 is biological sex and that a man with a GRC is not included in that category. These are national issues that apply to all constituencies...

And - no it doesn't make you a "spammer"

You'd need to write the same thing, with he same title and the same text - each and every time to be considered that and I'm not doing that nor am I asking anyone else to do it. In fact I've shown everyone how to write good, professional, individual letters, really quickly

Please stay off the topic if you're not up for trying to get change, I am.

Dear [MP’s Name],

Congratulations on your recent election as our new Member of Parliament. As one of your constituents, I am writing to express my concerns on several critical issues affecting our community and the nation as a whole.

Firstly, I am concerned about the Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) policy in my children’s school, which is not located in our constituency. I believe it is essential for the PSHE curriculum to provide balanced and factual information, particularly regarding gender identity and sexual orientation. I would appreciate any advice on how to address this issue within the correct jurisdiction.

Beyond local concerns, there are several national issues that I urge you to prioritize:

1.	<strong>Implementation of the Draft Statutory Guidance for Schools</strong>: It is crucial that the draft statutory guidance for schools is implemented to ensure that educational environments are safe and supportive for all students. This guidance should promote evidence-based teaching and protect children from harmful ideologies.
2.	<strong>Clarification of PACE Procedures for the Police</strong>: I request that you advocate for the clarification of Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) procedures to ensure that crime statistics are recorded by biological sex rather than gender identity. Accurate data collection is vital for understanding and addressing crime patterns effectively.
3.	<strong>Implementation of the Cass Review</strong>: The findings of the Cass Review should be implemented promptly to ensure that children experiencing gender dysphoria receive appropriate and evidence-based care. This will help safeguard the well-being of vulnerable children and prevent unnecessary medical interventions.
4.	<strong>Clarification of Sex in the Equality Act 2010</strong>: It is imperative to clarify that ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex. Additionally, it should be explicitly stated that a man with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) is not included in the category of biological women. This clarification is essential to protect the rights and safety of women and girls in single-sex spaces and services.

These issues are of national importance and affect all constituencies across the UK. I am very grateful that, as my new MP, you will take my wishes and those of other constituents into consideration. Your support and action on these matters will greatly benefit our community and contribute to the well-being of the nation.

Thank you for your attention to these concerns. I look forward to seeing positive changes under your leadership and wish you success in your new role.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]

You don't sound like a broken record at all, more that you care.

I've never used AI but will look into it but I'd really prefer to write a letter myself. To me, using AI seems rather like the jarred sauce of tech world.

Chat gtp letters will be ignored, why would any MP spend time replying to a circular, cp or AI letter that has been churned out in a few minutes with nothing personal, thoughtful or specific included in it!

This is not how to communicate - I feel like I am going to be saying this until I am blue in the face! Political mail boxes are INNUNDATED with such spam! You scan through and find the personal, local, specific, individual ones - just the OP saying you can knock out an email in a couple of minutes just indicates it will not be read by who you want it to be read by. It will get an answer that an admin assistant can knock out in a couple of minutes in return!

Thanks for the advice Marie, I’ll give it a wee go and at least I’ll get the lay of the land for future campaigning.

I can prove you wrong immediately - because I have shown how easy it is to use AI to write a better letter, a personal one, in a fraction of the time it takes to write one by hand - which is what puts people off doing it.

You do you

You didn't read my comment properly.

I said I would look at the AI stuff but prefer to do my own writing.

My reference to AI was in jest, I don't recommend flooding inboxes with AI-generated spam.

Maybe at this stage just something short and punchy saying how absolutely spiffing it is to have you as my MP, looking forward to engaging with you further on important topics like women's and girls' rights in the future... etc .?

There is so much creativity and cleverness on FWR that I can't imagine anyone here being content with sending something generated by AI without massively improving it with their own ideas and words😄

I think you underestimate how good these AI models are. Honestly. There’s no need to spend the time and hassle over something that needs to be short sharp and functional.

Trouble is the MP can just point to their manifesto and say they have a clear mandate for their position / say that is what the people want...

I suspect @CandidateX having time to be on MN today might well be an indication that not responding to your constituents messages is not a good way to hold onto your seat.

As long as you end your email as follows it will be answered. My (ex) MP answered emails he got from me, DH and our 16yo daughter. You have to include your address so they know you are a constituent.

Yours sincerely,

It's a waste of time writing my MP about this sadly. He doesn't give a stuff about actual women.

I answered emails by the hundred, but spam emails get spam answers.

Two things ...

1. If you write using Chat GPT or write based on the same list as others writing to the same MP and you get spotted as doing that (and it's easy to spot imo) you will, I assume, get equally automatic cookie cutter answers. I don't think you need to write about ALL the concerns. Just one will do. But one that relates to your experience and constituency and which you understand better than them. One which makes them think.

In my case as owner of a venue I am considering writing about concern about the incoming changes in toilet design which impact user safety. and the costs and implications for small businesses. I want to get over how pro TQ+ consideration often provides nothing helpful to other DEI categories including LGB users and may harm them. Just educate bit by bit, drop by drip, statistic by statistic. In the vein of 'I think it's important that you know as most MPs do not appear to know ...And this causes practical problems'. If it affected me directly I would talk about schools and safeguarding, language and loss of clarity in communication, loss of sporting opportunities, fears about elder care. One issue on which I know more and have reason to be concerned.

1. Try not to wait. Stonewall has an open letter campaign right now to the PM. https://actions.stonewall.org.uk/a/stonewall-letter-PM?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=HOLD_MY_HAND I assume they will write to all MPs making them aware that 'LGBT+' rights as under threat and trying to get new MPs to agree to be allies. Before they know what the issue is. Or the impact on women's rights. Whatever I write about I will make sure I mention the rights of other vulnerable communities.

There are so many ways to crack open the #bekind argument. We are each so affected.
