No-one has or will lose their jobs for attending an open meeting like this.

vicviking · 30/03/2018 18:48

I too wonder if the OP is scaremongering to put people off attending.

You are scaremongering and we are very suspicious of new people. Tra's are trolling Mumsnet, you understand I'm sure.

No one that I have heard of has actually lost their job as a result of going to a meeting in their own time. People may have lost their jobs for being transphobic or for insulting a trans person. Posie has been arrested yes but no charges have yet been filed. In light of this we need to keep fighting, they cannot arrest us all and I'm sure it cannot be legal to sack people for being gender critical. We need to keep a level head and fight if and when such events happen. The general public will be very against our rights being eroded.... If this sort of thing does happen.

Ingsoc how far has it gone in the NHS, are you talking about censorship?

PotteringAlong · 30/03/2018 18:35

I cannot find any link to people in the NHS loosing their job because they went to a meeting in their own free time.

What happened to Posie Parker (apart from the arrest etc.)? Who's lost their job? (Genuinely asking!)

terfragette69 that isn't true in the public sector unfortunately. NHS guidelines are from Mermaids. Are you aware of what happened to Posie Parker? That was twitter. This is my work. I don't think you understand how far it has gone in the NHS

We are being bullied, personally I think we should be standing up against bullies...... Tra's on here please take note.......... You do not frighten us.

Terfragette69 · 30/03/2018 18:20

I certainly wouldn't be afraid of getting attacked, any aggression just get the police. They are trying to intimidate us, we need to not let them. If jobs are lost, then you need to fight that. You cannot legally lose your job for going to a meeting.

Angryresister · 30/03/2018 18:15

Because women who have attended these meetings have been targeted by TA s . In some jobs now if you say you are gender critical you could face dismissal ....

pottering Women have been physically attacked for attending these meetings. And people have lost jobs, particularly academics or public sector employees.

Why on earth would you be attacked and then loose your job?

PlonitbatPlonit · 30/03/2018 18:10
