Cis or trans, if you have not yet written to your MP about the Supreme Court ruling please do so as soon as possible. Marches are one thing but MPs getting lots of emails from their constituents and having to answer awkward questions will have an even greater impact.

Your email doesn't need to be long. Just say you support the trans community, and that unless parliment intervenes, there is a risk of serious harm to an already marginalised community.

Wrote to mine last week, boilerplate Labour-Party-Line reply which didn't engage with any of my specific (evidenced!) points about safety for trans or cis folk.
I expected as much as he's a newbie who is kinda in cabinet and all but 1 reply have been Labour Party Line (the 1 was not a well known issue)
But still worth doing as he has to count how many fors/againsts he gets and we need to outnumber the transphobes by reality!

Do it anyway. People tend to notice when an issue starts creating excessive work for them or their staff, and word of that will get back to the whips regardless of what the individual MP thinks - and hopefully make them realise they've misjudged the wider position of the public.

in reply to Dreadnought Holiday • • •@DreadShips funnily enough I do know that email and such exist 😀
But I get amusement from the physical, and you never know it might attract their attention more.
Should they deign to respond you also end up with a letter on Parliamentary stationary, which isn't entirely without value in and of itself in a world of identity verification.

in reply to zbrown • • •@zbrown I figured you might have!
Well worth mentioning it anyway though, as a lot of people don't realise how easy it is.
