MN have deleted the thread started by Maya - who lost her job for speaking up for women- because it talks about her crowdfunding for legal costs

Here is today's times article on the case https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tax-expert-fired-for-saying-trans-women-aren-t-women-tpqgnm9vj?shareToken=3f12f5cae61c02fd41040eb816fd37b4&wgu=2705255426441557045162977940f0d76fa1&wgexpiry=1564821162&utmmsource=planit&utmmedium=affiliate&utmm_content=22278

Still laughing.

FloralBunting · 08/05/2019 12:04

Lololol Bernard, that's a hell of a typo!!!!

Datun · 08/05/2019 12:04

bernard

Lol, that was so unexpected, it actually made me snort. Which was entirely necessary due to the pressure cooker-esque steam from my ears.

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 12:03

Hahaha

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 12:02

I have reported my post Blush

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 12:02

Yeps jo coburn. Are you transphobic. What a stupid question. Maya’s face was like wtaf did I just hear

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 12:02

Gah! Looked like a hostage!!

Datun · 08/05/2019 12:02

And how many times did Maya have to say she was not violating her company's social media policy? The actually said they are expecting everyone in the think tank to disagree with one another. It's part of the process.

But one by fucking one they said 'but...but you can't violate your companies social media policy'.

Absolute idiocy.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 12:02

Yeah, the green woman looked like a hostage.

Jo Coburn with that bullshit head tilt "Are you transphobic?" to Maya.

At this point I couldn't have less respect for the BBC (or the Green Party for that matter)

ThePurportedDoctoress · 08/05/2019 12:00

Absolutely pitiful dodging of the issue by the panel. Fuck off Green Party, fuck off Grace and Labour. And fuck off Politics Live for that dumb McCarthyist question, "are you transphobic?" Really?

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 12:00

The green woman just bleated out usual blah blah

I looked at her talking and I thought. You don’t actually believe that

Datun · 08/05/2019 11:59

The ignorance is painful. You don't have to wait two years to get medication, that's to get a GRC. You have to wait to get medication just like any other bloody patient.

Stupid woman talking about caster. Utterly uninformed

That employment man actually admitting that he knows nothing about this case, so his opinion is completely worthless (seriously, why invite someone on who knows nothing about what you want to ask them???).

I wish we could have some kind of panel where the real issues were laid out in black-and-white.

Should men go to women's prisons?

Should men go on all women shortlists?

What is the definition of a woman?

All of it. It's not this fucking difficult.

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:59

He did say that.

He knows what feminists want. Fecker

FloralBunting · 08/05/2019 11:59

Yes Lang, the oily little shit actually said that.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:58

Little twerp

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:58

Yeah. I was swearing like a well
Like my usual self.

Shoulda asked that guy if he considered tw. In his dating pool like that guy on twitter who said no

Ffs it’s not transphobic to stand up for women’s rights.

LangCleg · 08/05/2019 11:58

Bloke mansplaining that self ID actually gives feminists what they want. (??!???)

Did he really just say, in not so many words, that they'll all be chemically castrated if we hand out hormones like sweeties, so what's the problem?

He really did just say that, didn't he?

FlightPack · 08/05/2019 11:57

Fux sake. It was a piece on protected belief not whether TWAW etc. If they were going to allow the panel to debate it then have a bloody balance panel.

Also the whole purpose of twitter is for debate and discussion. If it's for something else, tell all the mp's to delete their account.

Also seemingly deliberate use of the word 'provoke'...'provoke debate?' Or is she trying to insinuate 'provoke hate?'

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:56

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Don’t care enough about women’s issues to go against the grain on this

No mention of the extraordinary success of the crowd funder

FloralBunting · 08/05/2019 11:56

Yeah.

BBC with their jokes. Guests on to discuss the case who didn't know anything about the case.

Bloke mansplaining that self ID actually gives feminists what they want. (??!???)

New Statesman journo waffling about 'the South African runner's and testosterone.

Green Party member proving yet again that they are a craven load of shit and that "The most important thing is trans people".

Fuck the fucking barrel load of them.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 08/05/2019 11:55

These are intelligent people.

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Go Maya

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:55

GENDER IS NOT A GOOD THING!

I thought we settled that in the 70s?

AncientLights · 08/05/2019 11:54

They can all fuck off. Apart from Maya obvs. Ridiculous comments showing they clearly don't understand the wider issues.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:54

Maya did a good job against the usual BBC bullshit on this issue
