Someone in my union branch facebook page posted a link to an odious and frankly silly article in Gay Star News (they posted it seriously, though). Most of it's risible and easily refuted. However, I'm intrigued by this statement:

'The opposition to reform has loud mouths and seemingly deep pockets'

The only deep pockets I'm aware of are those of Stonewall and the likes of LGBT Yoth Scotland (we're in Scotland and they're a big player). Are there any 'deep pockets' that anyone knows of amongst the women's rights groups? I'm curious, and I don't want to say anything wrong that I can be picked up for - I'm expecting plenty of flak so want to avoid any obvious traps.

The article is here for info, but it's not worth the time spent reading it unless you have to.

We have succeeded in crowdfunding some reasonable sums for a series of campaigns and legal challenges. Most people contributing to these crowdfunders give £10 or £20 at a time. There are a lot of us, that's the explanation these numpties don't want to believe.

You can tell the GC side don't have deep pockets; we don't have loads of politicians fawning over our GC media stars while spouting utter rubbish that makes them sound like a bunch of anti vaxxer flat earth science deniers.
