Haldane judgement appeal

Sorry if there's already a thread that I missed, but I haven't seen one. FWS are appealing the Haldane judgement (the one that put "legal sex" where we'd really expect and want "sex"). I just donated: you might want to too. Can't post the link here but if you Google

crowdjustice equality act sex biological

you'll find it.

Current total: £18,206

£645 since beetle's total yesterday. Another £755 to go to reach £1,400 today!

30 donations would do it!

Lovely day for gardening 😀

It certainly is. Good job as there is a large amount of gardening still to do. Currently at £18,166 with 15 days left to go.

Google 'Sex in the Equality Act is biological' on crowdjustice.

ArabeIIaScott · 11/05/2023 09:35

Morning bump!

ArabeIIaScott · 10/05/2023 21:54

1,400 a day.

If average donation is around £25 per person, then we need ... another 560 donations.

In two weeks: 40 a day.

We can do that!

I'm not sure about the email, I can't remember which email account I used. I've looked in my main one and can't see anything, which means I haven't got a clue which one I used!

But the second part...

Our legal team are confident in an appeal challenge and have lodged our Grounds of Appeal with the Inner House Court of Session.

If your pledge is successful, do you get a confirmation email? I'm not sure whether mine went through.

Also, which court will hear this?

Boiledbeetle · 10/05/2023 20:36

£17,561 currently with 16 days left to raise £22,439 which averages out at £1,402.44 per day.

ArabeIIaScott · 09/05/2023 22:57

17,055!

Boiledbeetle · 09/05/2023 18:19

£16,980 current total. And 17 days to go (the noon deadline is playing havoc with which day we are on)

ArabeIIaScott · 09/05/2023 08:49

They need £24k in 18 days ...

InvisibleDragon · 08/05/2023 18:50

Lovely to get out in the garden on a bank holiday weekend...

ChristinaXYZ · 08/05/2023 17:30

Thank OP!

Boiledbeetle · 08/05/2023 11:27

Is £40k a hard line? I'd hate to see it fail for a few thousands.

Show quote history

It seems to be, see below, if it's not hit them none of the money is taken from peoples cards.

I donated. Well done ForWomen Scotland. The Haldane judgment must not stand

Hepwo · 05/05/2023 22:13

I've donated despite being fed up of paying for the bleeding obvious.

The lawyers insistent on telling us that women should not exist legally unless it includes men are....well words fail me, exactly as they have ensured they fail women.

It's all so sexist and of a time that has now passed. My message to those living with an identity, get men to accept what you want to do with your life and leave women alone.

Comment on the crowdfunder:

'The judgement is plainly questionable and requires to be revisited. I am angry that, once again, private funding is required to do this, while Scottish Government finances lobbyists to tell them what they want to hear.'

Couldn't agree more.

Just donated. Yes I am also sick of having to fund these cases which shouldn't be necessary in the first place. Seems incredible that Lady Haldane has chosen (as a person of her age and sex) to forget that until a few years ago everyone regarded sex and gender as interchangeable words meaning 'biological sex'. The protected characteristics are clearly listed and Stonewall et al (including Keir Starmer) have chosen to wilfully misinterpret them.
