Wishing her the very best of luck. twitter.com/MForstater/status/1402310977115279362?s=20

I'll be absolutely gutted if the original decision isn't overturned, but at least her case has let a lot of sunlight in.

Miranda's antagonist was erstwhile Mermaids marketing person mimmymum. She lost, big time. Detailed court reports survive and are good reading.

Anyone know anything about the costs related to that case?

ArabellaScott · 14/06/2021 20:21

It would be interesting to see what happened, if some total random called up the NHS to inform them one of their staff held a view that had recently been acknowledged as valid and worthy of respect.

'Hello, you're through to NHS 24, please press 1 for an emergency, 2 for a covid test, and 3 to report anyone with views you disagree with.'

I’m sure my extremely busy boss will put that right at the top of the to do list.

Ah, Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g Mimmymum, that takes me back.

I recall feeling slightly uncomfortable seeing Mimmymum bigging-up bumping into Leeds Furries in 2019 twitter.com/mimmymum/status/1139893697926094848

Whilst LeedsFurs are welcome to do their own thing, they do have very close links to Leeds Fetishmen, who are also welcome to do their own thing, but who pride themselves on being one of the first UK Fetish Groups to include transmen into their fold (aka, most likely young females given the demographic of females identifying as males right now).

All legal and each to their own, but the furry community bumps very close to young people on social media very often, and from what I've seen there are a lot of blurred boundaries and concerning cross-over.

For another thread, maybe!

This is Helen Islan, isn't it? So far Mermaids have misgendered a non-binary person on Twitter and tried to take a trans woman to court, which was distressing for Miranda. Among other things.
Paralithic · 14/06/2021 19:48

Oh yes:

Having heard the complainant’s evidence, the Judge stated that there was no evidence of harassment, that issues of freedom of speech enshrined in Article 10 of the ECHR were clearly engaged and that it was a case that the CPS should never have brought. Questions need to be asked as to why the CPS not only decided to prosecute Miranda Yardley in these circumstances, but were also so quick to inappropriately label it an incidence of “transgender hate crime”.

Oh bum….bold fail

I think dick is right endo*

You’ll have to turn yourself in 😩

DickKerrLadies · 14/06/2021 16:38

It's been a while since I read 1984 so I may be misremembering, but aren't we supposed to report our own thoughtcrimes?

EndoplasmicReticulum · 14/06/2021 16:32

I'll just turn myself in now I reckon (biology teacher).

JustcameoutGC · 14/06/2021 16:29

I am going to be reporting myself to my employers as GC. Have already made it pretty clear where my opinion sits and after Mayas ruling, it is time to ensure that others with the same view as me are free to express them, in a respectful way, in the workplace.

StellaAndCrow · 14/06/2021 16:21

@ChazsBrilliantAttitude

Is JP going to report GC trans people in case they harass themselves?
Well, someone already tried it with Miranda Yardley, got as far as court, went just about as well as you'd expect!
StellaAndCrow · 14/06/2021 16:20

And JP is of course one of the main "monitors" of these boards, listening in on our conversations, so that he can report any "wrong speak"

1967 called, it's the Stasi on the line...

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 14/06/2021 16:15

I am sure Joss would not be so unwise to attempt to target a whole group of people on the basis that they hold a protected belief under the EA. That might place some firms at risk of appearing to discriminate against people due to protected beliefs should they exercise specific scrutiny of that group.

ArabellaScott · 14/06/2021 16:11

No doubt. This is pre-emptive reporting, too, so best report everyone just on the off-chance they one day commit a thought crime. So we know and can take measures to avoid that.

TheElementsSong · 14/06/2021 16:10

contact the employers of everyone that believes that you physically cannot change sex

There goes the Faculty of Biological Sciences.

ArabellaScott · 14/06/2021 16:06

Best get cracking, eh?! Those witches won't report themselves!

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 14/06/2021 16:03

Massive project huuuuuuge

They won’t have time for a shit

ArabellaScott · 14/06/2021 15:56

Yes, that's going to be quite a big project, isn't it Rufus?

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 14/06/2021 15:55

So….just to make sure I’ve got this right

Joss Prior is going to contact the employers of everyone that believes that you physically cannot change sex
