RW - [repeats that they’re don’t distinguish sex & gender] All 3 staff who complained were women

But according to company policy, a woman is anyone who says they are a woman. So he could be a woman if he said he was. How do we know whether these are male women or female women?

I think the Sticker Woman division must be the street violence vanguard in the GC movement.

Is anyone tweeting this into the afternoon?

definitelygc · 18/11/2019 12:58

not credible that MF wasn’t aware of my nonbinary gender identity, my pinned tweet was a gif saying I’m non binary

Making me smile just imagining the judge's face at this point. We are truly post-satire.

P.S. In case you ever see this - thank you thank you for the live tweeting! When I get back on my computer I will make sure the threads are saved on my PC in case they get removed.

CQ’s witness statement states “The ‘gender critical’ movement has a street violence wing”

Oh wow, is CQ going to perjure themself? I'm sure there's consequences to lying in court, no?

NonnyMouse1337 · 18/11/2019 12:58

I'm meant to be working too but have my phone beside me... Oh my god.... ShockShock

GeordieTerf · 18/11/2019 12:54

If I was there, you’d have to carry me out on a stretcher! I wouldn’t be able to control my laughter Grin

LangCleg · 18/11/2019 12:54

I am supposed to be working but I can't look away! My eyes are that boggled I'm barely even able to type on here!

littlbrowndog · 18/11/2019 12:53

What has CQ got to with this ?

you know that 'not on the same planet' thing?

Weirdest thing in in the next breath they say they blocked MF....

Street violence wing? Good grief. I can't wait for the evidence of this one, since this is court and supposedly a witness can't just make stuff up.

On the other hand what's being debated is: is someone's statement of their personal reality to be absolutely respected in all circumstances by others, regardless of evidence. In which case I suggest Maya identifies as the judge.

Street violence wing? The evidence for this is going to be interesting.... Still can’t believe that RD is black according to the HR dude. This is truly barking mad

Butterisbest · 18/11/2019 12:50

And of course, the literal violence of the attempted correct sexing.
Presea 🤣
Damn those pesky violent street women

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 18/11/2019 12:49

The thing is they have no arguments at all, even in court it's the same things they come out with here. I'm not easily amazed but it's amazing.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 18/11/2019 12:48

Thank you wildwomanwritingclub!

Waterl00 · 18/11/2019 12:47

Register, not resister.

With men like this is HR who needs enemies?

OvaHere · 18/11/2019 12:47

Street violence wing, is that the one where Gender Critical women get punched in the head and are then forced to deny their attackers sex in court. Is it that wing?

I imagine so but in their reality (which must never be questioned) all that happened the other way around.

PreseaCombatir · 18/11/2019 12:46

No butter, that’s the wing of street violence, we’re talking about the street violence front wing

Waterl00 · 18/11/2019 12:45

CC - [repeats question] MF has no right to express these views and expect any employment protections. That’s your case, right?

RW - [flounders] I’m not an attorney, can’t weigh in on that. That’s not my testimony. I’ll leave that to my team.

CC - no further questions

That's appalling. An HR Director should have absolute certainty of the legal position before taking any action. This is sheer identity politics arrogance, turning up to a tribunal reliant on lawyers to explain after the event why you did what you did. No integrity, all he has is a belief identity politics will save him. He doesn't even resister that women may be telling the truth.

Callmejudith · 18/11/2019 12:45

Does anyone know what CQ have to do with the case/why are they a witness?

Whatisthisfuckery · 18/11/2019 12:44

Can’t wait for the questions about street violence. You’d think TRAs would have mentioned it.

I am on tenterhooks waiting to learn about the street violence Shock
