I think she started off with the name Jack Monroe, then her birth name came out and she was like 'how dare you deadname me', and then the next step was to come out as 'Mx', aka non-binary.

I believe somewhere along the line there was something about identifying away from her female name and identity because she was raped under that name. Obv. that makes no sense because you can't identify out of being a target of male violence/sexual assault.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 21/01/2018 18:45

Because that's how she identifies.

She was so pleased with her actions she gave an interview to Penis News about it. How is she transgender? How?

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 21/01/2018 18:21

I'm disappointed in Jack Monroe. I thought she was better than this

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 21/01/2018 18:08

ThisisMinnie. Haha, I did that yesterday.

Helmetbymidnight · 21/01/2018 17:58

I like jack monroe- I'm jealous of her mouthiness.

However, I'm annoyed that she insists on the transwomen are women line, and the whole 'taking the trash out thing' - about so called Terfs. Not nice.

thisisminnie · 21/01/2018 17:57

Feeling so pissed off after reading Twitter that I just donated again to cheer myself up.

Popchyk · 21/01/2018 17:52

Oh, I agree with you pisacake.

Jack was practically goading someone to use her name so that she could involve herself minimally and then crow about how she'd defunded the campaign. Maximum exposure with minimum effort as far as she was concerned. Of course the effect of that was to make the donations go up, but that doesn't matter to her. She wanted the good PR with the trans lobby, and if that means donations to the fund go up, then she's more than happy with that. We'd have less money in the fund now if it were not for Jack Monroe's intervention.

That said, I'd be surprised if she was involved in a smear campaign within Labour. She hasn't got the time, unlike the others who have a lot of time on their hands.

I can't see you or a folder.

post edited by MNHQ to remove screenshots of what may be real names on this list

PocketCoffeeEspresso · 21/01/2018 17:41

Plus it's the last week of the month next week - I'm donating again when I'm paid, and I think a fair few others are planning the same.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 21/01/2018 17:40

Is there a link to a folder after your name in the spreadsheet - the "evidence" will be in there.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 21/01/2018 17:38

Hi Teardrop, as far as I can see I’m still on the list and yes I’ve got screenshots. I also have a friendly libel lawyer who is delighted to take this on. I’m not on Twitter, so I will be fascinated to hear what the “evidence” against me might have been.

Adrifty86 · 21/01/2018 17:31

Haha!

There's no wheedling out of this one. Confirmed on twitter that there are plenty of screenshots of peoples labour membership numbers being added to the folder.

And numerous reports being made to the labour party AND the ICO

ATeardropExplodes · 21/01/2018 17:26

Whoever has added their name hats off...

pisacake · 21/01/2018 17:23

"To be fair to Jack Monroe, I don't think she is involved at all in trying to get people kicked out of the Labour Party for transphobia.

All she did was ask Gofundme to take "deadnames" and the real names of pro-trans people (including her own) off the donations list. Which they did and of course people have simply been donating again anonymously. "

This is not correct. Her name was not on the donation list when she entered the fray. It was only added after she started saying how it was unacceptable for people to use other people's names, even though that's how it always worked, and very few names in the world are specific to one single human being, so it's clearly ridiculous and wrong to remove somebody called, say, Paris Lees, given that there is at least one (maybe more) actual female Paris Lees, who is not a violent transgender criminal.

I'm sure Gofundme must have received literally thousands of donations in the name of Donald Trump or whatever, and the names used are (to the extent that they do reference transpeople), all political activists, so Jack Monroe can fuck right off with her prissiness.

Terrylene · 21/01/2018 17:18

I don't think they have added the 500 yet - I was watching when it was about 30 off the 1800, then it went to 1810.

I have been distracted Grin

BelligerentGardenPixies · 21/01/2018 17:17

£500!! Blinkin' Nora.

BelligerentGardenPixies · 21/01/2018 17:16

I'm sure the phishing was to try and marry donators with LPM's and their social media even if it wasn't instigated directly by the desperate fuck-knuckles that made that spreadsheet.

I say let them get on with it. They are wildly overplaying their hand and it will backfire spectacularly if they're not careful.

BeyondWW · 21/01/2018 17:08

It's now over £18k

Popchyk · 21/01/2018 17:07

To be fair to Jack Monroe, I don't think she is involved at all in trying to get people kicked out of the Labour Party for transphobia.

All she did was ask Gofundme to take "deadnames" and the real names of pro-trans people (including her own) off the donations list. Which they did and of course people have simply been donating again anonymously.

That is the extent of her involvement.

BeyondWW · 21/01/2018 17:07

Ah fab, I've just followed everyone who retweeted it Grin

GuardianLions · 21/01/2018 17:06

Wow! £500 - maybe it was that QC regretting the mess he made Wink

GuardianLions · 21/01/2018 17:04

I am glad you are all taking it in good humour - because I think that having it open and public is deliberate and supposed to intimidate gender critical labour party members into shutting up and not speaking out on social media.

Something of a public Stalinist 'show trial'.

irretating · 21/01/2018 17:03

Somebody has donated £500 Shock.

Vicxy · 21/01/2018 16:58

I think RTing this

twitter.com/sargesalute/status/955087252694224898

Was what got at least one of the new recruits added.

Have RTed another of Annes tweets and expect to see my name appear soon. have even changed my twitter handle to be my real name. Bring it on.
