AIBU GoFundMe addiction

I've recently become addicted to a Gofundme campaign. Every time I press refresh the total raised has jumped up and I don't seem to be able to stop.

I'm trying to stay within Mumsnet rules here, so obviously I can't link or promote it.

Does anyone else have this enjoyable problem?

Would that be the Jennifer James gofundme?

Me too! I am hoping for any known friend's name to come up as I am hoping beyond hope that at least one of my sensible friends is actually still sensible. But there are so many anonymous donaters that they may never appear.

Who knew a saturday morning could be so exciting.

I know, it is fantastic. I just hope they spend it on kick ass lawyers that do some serious damage.

YANBU.

I am reading a book. But I just can't help having a quick refresh and check each time I get to the end of a chapter!

We have been advised that a legal challenge to the Labour party on this could be winnable.

Teardrop Fingers crossed.

I’m so excited by the thought that this could be won, but worry that it would provide added impetus for self ID to be pushed through?

I think if you search for 'women' on the the particular funding site it is the top campaign at the moment. ..

It is wonderful to watch the fund grow. I found it difficult to find the page without the link.

There's a nice update on the page, pretty amazing that 190 people have donated so far, it's only be a few hours.

THanks for tip off. As Labour Party member I was happy to donate. Like it say trans can have own place and yes would not be against a certain percentage of places. But don’t let’s take them away for woman lists.
