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

I am happy to bung £10 or £20 towards these cases each month. My aligned union is utterly captured by this ideology, so there’s no point in joining as the don’t give a shit about women. I see my monthly donations as akin to union subs, in that it will benefit women collectively to have clarity around the law and single sex exemptions.

I've just got the shovel out.

I'd not been aware this particular garden until I bumped into this particular thread, so nipped to the shed for the tools sharpish.

She must have regular conniptions when she looks at the press - hundreds of thousands of readers who are now "educated" about the grim reality of what is happening to women and children (since #nodebate ground to a halt) and horrified at it. And many of them are contributing to the myriad of crowdfunders. Unlike the bloated government / corporate funded gravy train that keeps so many anti safeguarding / anti women crusaders afloat.

Oh my God that Mimmymum woman is pathetic! Every single case is being crowd funded by the public - not through corporate sponsors or profits from cookies in Starbucks Hmm I'm not well off by a long shot but rather than spending money on things like takeaways I've put it towards what I think is so important for the rights of women and children. I know there are lots of us doing the same. I do like the fact that makes me an unknown and untraceable source, sounds far more exciting than the truth Grin

Obviously hasn't occurred to her that maybe it's not such a small group after all

That would require a level of insight that mermaids is just not capable of. If you build your whole world around gender ideology, including your work, and decisions about your children etc it's a hell of a thing to realise you are in the minority and most people do not agree with you.

@EmpressJKRowlingSpartacus

It's really not some giant conspiracy - you can even see the amounts and the comments on the crowdfunders.

But recognising that would involve prioritising boring reality over exciting speculation.

Exactly.

Plus one's credibility goes straight down the pan if one continues to speculate over something that can be almost instantly factually determined by everyone else.

I have donated between £20 - 100 to each crowdfunder depending on what I can afford at the time. There's loads of women and men doing this. It's really not some giant conspiracy - you can even see the amounts and the comments on the crowdfunders.

I agree Mindtheminotaur - I think solid, totally enclosed toilets have safety issues too, plus as someone who hates enclosed spaces, I can't bear them.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 08/09/2020 14:33

It’s quite exciting to be an ‘unknown and untraceable source’!

StandUpStraight · 08/09/2020 14:21

Oh my god, mimmymum is a loon! How does she think crowdfunding works?! 😂

dial same here. I’ve said it before but it is flat out insane that we have to do this to get people to implement existing law or just do their damn jobs properly, but thank goodness there is a way we can support these efforts.

DialSquare · 08/09/2020 14:00

I donate between £50 to £100 towards the current cases every month at a rate of £10 to £20 for each case. I imagine there are many like me. Just ordinary women who are in a position to use some of their disposable income towards the cause. I also get a little thrill by deleting the extra fee towards crowd justice each time!

@Escapeplanning

Mimmymum's job must be full time stalking. A box of frogs comes to mind. 600plus thousand from a population of 60plus million is a penny a head.
Surely she knows anyone can look at those crowdfunders and see the amounts donated?

I think they even handily give you the mode average and it's something like twenty five quid.

Been doing some digging this morning.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/09/2020 10:27

I agree MindtheMinotaur

DickKerrLadies · 08/09/2020 08:06

I don't think there's many women here who do not understand the suffering that comes from gender being enforced on us.

MindTheMinotaur · 08/09/2020 07:37

I've said it before on here, Miladyrenata I'm not at all in favour of toilets that are fully enclosed with locking doors. I'm sure most mums have had the scenario of children locking themselves in and having to open the door from the outside.

I've climbed into a toilet wall over a partition wall to rescue a girl who had passed out and was blocking the door. How would she have been helped from an enclosed cubicle? I doubt anyone would even have realised she was there.

Personally, I don't feel at all safe in some of the quiet govt depts I have to visit where there are mixed sex toilets with very solid enclosed cubicles. They don't pass my PTSD assessments and I always fear getting attacked and dragged into a stall.

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 07/09/2020 20:38

I've just seen an update on Harry Miller's fb page. Mermaids and Stonewall have been denied permission to get involved in Susan Evan's case against medical experimentation on children. This apparently means 'they can't submit evidence or enter the courtroom' according to a comment on the post. So many court cases coming up. Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.

@Cuntysnark

I’ve just seen that with a humble ‘thank you’. I’m feeling very emotional.
With this, and the news about Stonewall yesterday, it definitely feels like a little bit of weight has lifted.

There's still a way to go, but it's such a relief to see the wheels are finally in motion. Shits getting done.

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 07/09/2020 19:59

Wow, thank you that person ThanksThanksThanks

Bloody hell, that's a lot.

This is such an important case
