JK Rowling - Women’s Fund

From the Reddit group re JKR:

"Good thing there aren't serious, actual threats to women's rights going on at the moment that this funding could be better put towards."

No words.

I don't know, but it's a crime that they're not sharing it.

God what a great day. Laughing so much. Look at Jolyon puffing himself up like the silly sod hasn't lost more cases than Ryanair.

I'm so fucking glad she's on our side. If her legal funds don't destroy you, her roasts will.

JKR is the beautiful gift that keeps on giving. A simply brilliant woman of our time who has always maintained such selfless integrity. Despite her phenomenal wealth she has remained so in touch with everyday issues that she could so easily have ignored. We are so privileged to know her in our lifetimes. And she has such a wicked sense of humour to top it off!

Genderwoo. Rots your brain.

They're also discussing how to spam the application form with nonsense. But I'm sure that's been anticipated.

“rune like” ”shady groups”

What are they on?

JKR needs every single applause there is in the history of woman kind. She’s an absolute heroine to me.

i only mentioned the women’s funds because some PPs mentioned a desire to donate.

I’m connected to many and I know the struggles they face due to the whole sex and gender thing.

Women’s funds are grant makers. They all do it differently.

R/transgenderUK has finally noticed: https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderUK/s/CZKWqze0VZ

They're having a normal one, of course. Sample quotes:
"She will be looked at in the same way as those who flew confederate flags and hurled abuse at black children as they walked to school."

"Fuck her. GLP and TransActual has our backs and we need to just keep contributing to our combined, communal safety. Good luck to GLP on their suit and please donate!!!"

"This makes me laugh because if you wanted to get help from the funding but they don't allow you because you look masculine but are a woman that's fucked but if you are trans and do get funding because you look feminine enough well shit they fucked up real good"

"Anyone notice the rune like Venus symbol, It feels like symbolism from some very shady groups."

What are you saying here? Is it that women’s cause funds are under funded? Post them here, we’d gladly garden based on validation? Is it wrong we’re applauding a fund that is not asking for external donations? We’re applauding it because it stands up for female sex based rights.

I may have misinterpreted.

Amazing. Talented and strong.

ETA there is missing context from a twitter pic in the post I quoted, some IT Person on the twits, giving it billy big balls. I'm not digging at the mumsnet poster.

I had to laugh at that. If the clangiest profesh skillz drop you can muster up is "IT person" then you're not all that.

I'm not much use in the context of websites, data protection and legal, you'd obviously get someone expert in to do those. Someone who actually does that for a living, not an "IT person".

There are lots of women’s funds across the UK (many held by community foundations) that would really love donations.

I suspect the more donations they had, the more independent they could be.

I also suspect they are in a difficult situation in the cross hairs of this whole thing.

nah, I don’t suspect. I know.

I know a few quite well who just need income to be independent and not have to play the game anymore!

For companies/organisations what have you that won't comply, I think it would be prudent to find out who their insurers are, especially Public Indemnity, and contact them telling them they are taking a risk insuring that client as they are breaching the laws. Contact the company and tell them you've/we've also contacted their insurers. Maybe CC each other into it.

Still trying to operate in the shadows then.. 🙄

Grift, grift, grift. He is utterly shameless.

Delicious... TRA la la la la.

I hope the Brighton Dad (maybe via his daughters) and the poster Sarah can successfully avail of JKR's largesse and win - for all of us. There may be others but those are two I recall from here.

Thank you JKR, a diamond shining for all of us.

Now they realise just how much money is behind these women they really won’t take these cases to court, part of the punishment is the worry about paying, that’s now not an issue, so let’s see how many decide to simply comply with the law. If they don’t, especially for larger organisations, their public liability insurers will have a fair bit to say about it.

Just had a glance at how they're celebrating this on Reddit, found this amazing comment:

Everything I've been reading about the FWS case in the SC suggests it was bullshit and that they didn't have any legal argument

For my own amusement I'm assuming it's Jolyon's alt account.

You might want to look up Naomi Cunningham, her win rate is the stuff of dreams and probably nightmares, for people like you and Joly boy. You might want to check the use by date on your popcorn 🍿

Go on, go on, go on, go on, Mrs Doyle is such a brilliant character 😂

I absolutely love JKR and she is astoundingly clever, but for her it must be like shooting fish in a barrel when dealing with JM and IW, they’re really not the brightest are they? 😂

I hope you applied :)

Do you have a form of words I can crib for my MP please? Not good at this stuff
