Does anyone want to tell her?

Like she has any idea.

teawamutu · 19/07/2024 17:25

As I have told TRAs and mansplainers and handmaidens repeatedly: the fact that you weren't fucking listening doesn't mean that we weren't fucking speaking.

Rightsraptor · 19/07/2024 17:33

She's deaf then.

Cue a massive letter/email writing campaign.

StripeySuperNova · 19/07/2024 17:34

I said it to my Labour candidate before the election.

Nellieinthebarn · 19/07/2024 17:37

Poor thing, she must have selective hearing syndrome. Shall we all just email her at the House of Commons?

I've already emailed my new MP with my concerns. I plan on bothering him on a regular basis, just like the last one.

She was a staunch ally of PIE. So.

southbiscay · 19/07/2024 17:39

Harriet and Lewis should take a look at the #RepealTheGRA hashtag. Thousands of tweets.

I'm on my 5th email to my new local MP and will be emailing him every week.

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/07/2024 17:44

She needs to wash her ears out.

The problem is the interns in the back office. They bin the stuff they don't like. The MP never sees it.

Toseland · 19/07/2024 17:50

Oh no - she can't hide behind interns forever.
When are we all going to protest outside her HoC office with a big banner?

I'll keep on at it regardless. I know I can do very little about this issue but I'll do what I can.

Open to ideas suggestions?

Can we organize a joint letter/email to Harriet Harman?

That explains why I've not had acknowledgements to two emails I've sent my MP. May have to shove copies under her nose at a constituents surgery then 😡

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/07/2024 17:54

That's the best way if it's a route available to you @blackcherryconserve

The socfems get very upset when this fact of history and her refusal to apologise is raised. Tsk tsk

Alucard55 · 19/07/2024 17:56

This is what I will keep sending on a weekly basis.

As my representative, could you tell me if you support women when we say we do not want biological men however they present or identify, and regardless of what certificates they have in our single sex spaces?

As my representative, could you raise this issue in parliament and argue for new policy to ban all biological men however they present or identify, and regardless of what certificates they have from women's single sex spaces.

endofthelinefinally · 19/07/2024 17:59

I don't know the answer. The interns are all recent PPE grads. They are unpaid so they have to live in London. In order to live in London they need rich families. In order to intern for Harriet Harman their rich family would have to be the proverbial Champagne Socialists. So.

It is but it's a nuisance that I have to request a surgery appointment when an email can be answered instead.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/07/2024 18:01

Well I’m shocked shocked I tell you that Harriet TWAW/be kind/youbigots Harman can’t hear what we’ve been saying

it’s almost as if she just doesn’t want

probably goes to the same audiologist as Alistair Campbell

FuzzyPuffling · 19/07/2024 19:25

StripeySuperNova · 19/07/2024 17:34

Me too.

illinivich · 19/07/2024 20:03

It's not interns, its her.

OldCrone · 19/07/2024 20:29

She obviously hasn't visited Mumsnet.

And did she fail to notice this petition?

Repeal the Gender Recognition Act 2004
We call upon the Government to repeal the Gender Recognition Act 2004. The Act makes it impossible in practice to keep biological men - who are statistically responsible for most violent crime - out of single sex spaces for women.
We call upon Government to repeal this law because we submit that:
(a) it is causing avoidable harm to women and children, who reasonably fear male violence;
(b) it is causing avoidable social unrest as women become aware that the GRA vitiates their right to single-sex spaces;
(c) "gender" is a subjective notion, properly categorised under Freedom of Belief, not as an objective characteristic like sex or age.
