around the guidance for the Equality Act 2010, and is crowdfunding for a judicial review. Thought I ought to spread the word.

Does anyone have any billionaire/millionaire family or friends who will understand the importance, agree with it, but who may not know these requests are going out? Daffodil

It's rolling along but time is tight. Bumpety Bump

PurpleHoodie · 12/03/2021 07:47

Thanks for the reminder, have dug again.

We've seen this week that words really matter so decided to do another dig for this.

Only 3 days left to go and unfortunately they are quite a way off target - mainly due to timing and giving way so that FPFW could urgently crowd fund.

We have to get the message out that sex matters and that it is OK for firms to use the single-sex exemptions in the Equality Act rather than the incorrect message that they have been given by a Stonewalled EHRC over the last few years.

Came on to post this, and glad to see plenty of others already out in their gardens this afternoon! Another bump.

Leafstamp · 11/03/2021 15:48

Bump

Lordamighty · 11/03/2021 15:15

Digging done.

highame · 11/03/2021 15:05

aea-wants-to-send-a-vital-shout-out-to-the-country for those of you not sure. Google it. This is the place you need to do some digging

PurpleHoodie · 11/03/2021 14:57

Bumpette.

WendyTestaburger · 11/03/2021 14:18

Bump. Not long left.

PearlJamButties · 11/03/2021 12:36

Thank you for bump....I've got my spade out...

highame · 11/03/2021 12:29

Star just another bump really but included a pretty star

Xanthangum · 11/03/2021 12:18

When this is all over and someone writes the book, there will undoubtedly be a few key moments when the world turned, and people came to their collective senses.

This action, along with Fair Play, Fair Cop, Glinner , the Staniland question, Superstraight, and also the GenderGP investigation, and Allison Bailey's showing of who Stonewall really are means that this month is a really exciting time.

Roystonv · 11/03/2021 09:24

We need to get this out there, very new to all this but just how have we got to this state of affairs where so many have been lied to and no one has noticed and it is left to Ann to put it right. How do we get this from mn to the public domain in time for Ann and her team to do the work they need to do.

Veeta · 10/03/2021 22:17

Thanks for sharing this, have also popped along with my rather sad little trowel. Wish I could give more, but my showers leaked through my living room ceiling this week and funds are a little tight.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 10/03/2021 21:40

Added a spadeful.

Over 8k now.

highame · 10/03/2021 21:25

Nearly at 8k now

Well done keeping this bumped. Ann Sinott's work is really important even though the crowdfunders might not seem as eye-catching as others at first glance. The recent court cases only strengthen what she is trying to achieve.

Joisanofthedales · 10/03/2021 20:16

Dug.
Thank you for the thread as digging for this is very important

Love51 · 10/03/2021 13:57

I've donated. I wouldn't have known about it, were it not for this thread.

Datun · 10/03/2021 13:43

@Datun

AEA is significant action. I think it's a disgrace that the EHRC could give out wildly inaccurate information, correct that information but refuse to inform organisations that they got it wrong.

Indeed. And now it transpires that they were at the census hearing, recommending staff ID on the census!

That's meant to say self ID Blush.

Bumping with the link so it appears closer to the last post:

twitter.com/AnnMSinnott

As a PP has said the crowd funder one is the more urgent (ending in 5 days) and, although Ann is accepting of not meeting the original target, she is aiming for £10k.

The money will help mailshot organisation and advertise that the Equalities and Human Right Commission were forced to correct their guidance to reflect the Equality Act as follows:

The Equality Act 2010 permits the exclusion of GRC-holding gender reassigned people/transsexuals from single-sex services, accommodation and toilets, provided it is a proportionate means to achieve a legitimate aim.
