I really hope the outcome is fair to women and upholds free speech.

First, I'm thrilled that everyone has hit their targets and can now secure representation.

I just wanted to note that, tonight, Crowdfunder have suddenly disabled comments on mine, Kate's, and Helena's projects. It's not a glitch since other projects are displaying fine.

Now, I've been having some dealings with Crowdfunder and I'm becoming slightly concerned that they might be being threatened for hosting our projects. Some of the wording got removed from my text as, despite it being straightforwardly true, they claimed there was a risk of "defamation" - despite being sent court documents. Weird.

Anyway. I'd give some thought to withdrawing all funds now if you're confident you've enough for the foreseeable (can always do a second round if necessary). I'm becoming slightly wary that someone wants to shut our funds down.

To that very generous donor: thank you Flowers

We all know you may have to stay anon in this battle, for the same reasons as many. But your generosity helps so much - Kate stay strong!

Ummm who is Kate?? 🤦‍♀️😳

Fantastic news about the JCB visit! Grin

I have exhausted most usual routes. My criminal case is being supported and dealt with. That's the big juicy one that some were interested in but were too late.

The civil one is the one people don't seem to want to bother with, if anyone knows of any solicitors, than please let me know so I can test the waters. I've been badly let down by some GC ones so angling for someone with a passion for truth and justice! Need me an Elle Woods type 😂

Miranda Yardley's defence barrister was Gudrun Young.

Young also represented Linda and Venice in their civil action.

Got both cases tossed out.

Also Allison Bailey of Garden Court Chambers might be able to recommend someone. I think she specialises in serious crime herself but might be able to recommend a colleague.

Anya Palmer is representing Maya Forstater in her employment tribunal. Specialises in employment but might be able to recommend someone.

Might be worth reaching out to FairCop as well, if you haven't already. They have people in place for their case.

Woohoo for the huge contribution (and all the regular size ones)!!
Let’s pat ourselves on the back for all that digging.
Any specific way we can help with solicitor search, Busted?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/09/2019 13:45

and sadly a lot of the big law firms seem to have been infested with stonewall.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/09/2019 13:44

Isnt there a twitter-er called the lady lawyer or something like that? If it is covered on the blog (roll on fridays?) then it may get some interest. I am sure there is some lawyer itching to make a name for themselves andthisis a very interesting area of human rights (and wrongs).

teawamutu · 26/09/2019 13:43

Can't say how pleased I am for you, Busted.

I'm sure you've thought of this, but would it be worth approaching, eg, whoever represented Miranda Yardley?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/09/2019 13:43

Someone appears to have dug in 5000 times whaaaaa? (it wasn't me btw)

That is bloody brilliant. Faith in human nature (almost) restored.

The sisterhood is truly an awesome thing when stirred up.

BustedWench · 26/09/2019 13:20

I'm stunned, just stunned! Thank you all so much for your donations and support. I am still calling round solicitors but many aren't comfortable tackling the trans issue at all, which is disappointing by I'm confident something will turn up, it has to.

Just can't believe it! The fight is on for criminal and civil proceedings, well and truly on!

Thank you ❤️

Wow!!

That is so good. These cases need proper representation. It is in everybody's interest that that happens. Lack of legal aid leads to an impoverished and unfair system Whoever it was, thank you. I have been dreaming of winning the lottery and being able to do that!

Popchyk · 26/09/2019 12:56

Wow.

Clearly someone with loads of money is monitoring these erm things and helping out where necessary.

Happened in the Transgender Trend one as well, didn't it?

PotatoShape · 26/09/2019 12:55

Amazing digging!! I hope that Kate can feel a slightly bit better about humanity after this accomplishment. One spiteful person can do a lot of damage, but when women decide to push back, we are mighty!

OrchidInTheSun · 26/09/2019 12:03

Wow! How brilliant :)

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 26/09/2019 11:54

Excellent news. Thinking of you Kate.

Datun · 26/09/2019 11:53

Bloody hell. That's amazing!

SunsetBeetch · 26/09/2019 11:53

Wow that's amazing!

LangCleg · 26/09/2019 11:51

Whoever you are: THANK YOU.
