Amazing - the same amount of Gods 'known' about (according to Ricky Gervais anyway) ... I'd vote biology too

Hi folks. For those who want to know more about the campaign, I wrote about it here: ‘Believers in Biology’: A Co-ordinated Effort to Disrupt the 2022 Census | Scottish Affairs (euppublishing.com)

Me too!

I feel strangely pleased by this.

And at the same time, it's completely insane that I should have the opportunity to be pleased by something so simple.

Ah, I joined MN too late in '22, or else I'd have done the same.

What does that achieve?

Morwenscapacioussleeves · 04/10/2024 17:27

Excellent!
I had fun with my purple pens too 😁

Good co-ordinated effort. Thanks to all making this choice.

It's called "Stating the truth". What are you finding hard to understand?

EveryKneeShallBow · 04/10/2024 18:47

I’m one!

Aloha and hello! Me too!

Achieve? It achieves the government having an understanding of the populace.
Is that not the point of the census....

RhannionKPSS · 04/10/2024 23:22

I’m proud to say I was of those women too 💚🤍💜

What does that achieve?

It registers our displeasure with gender ideology distorting the census.

Courage calls to courage. In Scotland (like many other places, but it’s been especially bad) truth is under attack and people are being punished and ostracised for knowing and speaking about biological reality. A campaign like this speaks to everyone and says “there are lots of us who don’t think what’s happening is right. We should be allowed to believe and speak facts and women should have rights as a biological sex class, not as a group you can opt into. You’re not alone if you think that.” It helps people see that they’re not actually in a kafkaesque upside-down world where everyone around them has gone insane. Gender ideology relies on shutting people up so using the census to officially record our “beliefs’ is a good way of breaking through that.

Its a matter of public record that 3000 felt strongly enough about this to order a paper census and make a protest.

It can not be easily erased. It is recorded as history.

EasternStandard · 05/10/2024 10:37

That’s great, well done

Over600Ecalypts · 05/10/2024 10:52

I'm also one of the 3000. My paper copy took ages to come but, after a phone call with them, they sent it out.

FWR is a great place to find out about these sorts of actions and campaigns. Great idea from For Women Scotland to ensure we are recorded for prosperity.

My husband and I are part of the 3,000 and were very proud to do so. I was really interested to see the final figures. I can thoroughly recommend Sarah Pederson's article (which she has posted above).

The usual tumshies have started their very predictable cries of 'well, that just shows that GC is a cult!!!', without showing any understanding of civic protests or the obvious mirroring of Scottish Suffragettes doing similar protests on the 1911 census returns - www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/learning/features/malicious-mischief-womens-suffrage-in-scotland#:~:text=The%201911%20Scottish%20census%20reveals,women'%20written%20at%20the%20top.

I was one too!
