What's rattled their cages, I wonder?

Firstly, we have Christine Burns

"Ah I see it's all been kicked off this morning by Christine Burns posting multiple threads about how women's grassroots organisations are a "sham" and need investigating. Cue mass response accusing them of "money laundering", "fraud" & details on how to report them to HMRC. t.co/bFY4njBzHy"

And then a Glasgow councillor, Rhiannon Spear, retweeting the Irish furry Casey Explosion

"Brilliant thread detailing how anti-trans groups in the UK are being funded by US far right groups that are anti-abortion rights.

Their fundraisers in the pics total
£74k! 🙄

The @tiecampaign could do so much with this kind of money.

TIE is an LGBT inclusive education campaign.

When someone's main reason for being well known is that they say they're something they clearly are not, I let that inform my decision as to the extent I should trust anything else they claim without verified proof.

is it possible that someone who has a book being released this week would want to draw attention to themselves via their social media channels where said book is also promoted?

Forget about them, they're idiots.

Read this thread instead it's very funny.

The Irish TRAs have been at this for years, it's pathetic. They're terrified of the sunlight that's pouring in. They know damn well that not wanting your daughter sharing Guides camp, changing rooms and toilets does not make you a right wing Catholic loon.
Middle Ireland was sane and compassionate enough to vote for same sex marriage and abortion. It will not take to having their daughters' rights handed over by a bunch of creepy fucking men who get the horn by dressing up as furry animals. Most of them would peak the nation if they were aired outside their Twitter echo chamber. I look forward to some sweaty Java programmer on the airwaves explaining why Irish women and girls don't get to have privacy or dignity. Fuck them from a great height.

Christine needs to lie down in a dark room.

Then smell some roses. Real roses.

placemats · 08/07/2019 18:09

But, but, but, why would any woman accept money from an anti abortion group?

This is conspiracy shite. And it's low by conspiracy shite standards.

See me after class stuff. FFS.

SunsetBeetch · 08/07/2019 18:06

I wonder if Rhiannon is afraid the evil terfs are going to go after her new venture? If you're not spreading damaging bullshit, Rhiannon, you have nothing to worry about in that respect

God Christine Burns sounds unhinged. 'I'm told that some of these organisations are fronts for conservative groups'

Hmm

translation: any woman who disagrees with me is part of a nasty conspairacy

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/07/2019 18:00

stems from not seeing women as actual people I guess. we must be being funded and manipulated by real people (a.k.a. men)

LangCleg · 08/07/2019 17:58

Women control more than two thirds of household monies. Sometimes they put some of it into crowdfunders they support.

And - shock, horror - women are able to design flyers, make videos, create websites, do research.

What a terrifying thought if the idea of non-compliant women makes you angry.

OvaHere · 08/07/2019 17:52

Also a few men too!

OvaHere · 08/07/2019 17:52

It all stems (IMO) from them living in such a bubble that they underestimate just how many women exist who are so furious about this bullshit that they are willing to bung 10 or 20 quid into most GC fundraisers.

JackyHolyoake · 08/07/2019 17:42

One assumes that Burns has all the requisite evidence to substantiate Burns' allegations in court or is Burns just speculating and trying to smear the collaborative work of women.
