I don't know if links are allowed so I'll put it in next post to allow it to be deleted if needed.

Can look at Sex Matters website.

Nearly there..!

Gentle bump. Only £7 000 to go.

Donated. First time putting my money where my mouth is. I’ve had a fair few discussions with friends, family, politicians and those canvassing (mainly Daisy Cooper and mates) on the subject but I do massively appreciate those who are invested and consistent campaigners as I don’t do anywhere near as much as most.

Well done for jumping in.

I'm in a similar position. My own voice doesn't carry very far, although I like to think that everyone who knows me knows I take a very dim view of gender ideology. The most useful thing I can do is put some money towards those who do have public platforms and loud voices, or those who are stepping up and fighting a battle.

Venice Allan on GB news now talking about it

Bumping. £42 330 out of £50 000.

I went to the exhibition Splash! today at the design museum in London, and thought of you lot/this thread.
Seriously had to bite my tongue and suppress an eye-roll at this wall text.

'It’s awful for cisgender people, too, because trans people make our communities brighter, more diverse, and interesting. Any time we lose a public space that trans people can’t be included in is a tragedy for everyone.”'

Oh dear god, what sanctimonious drivel 🙄

Don't you know that the non penis woman are just dreadfully boring? The penis women are all sparkly and interesting and therefore brighten up the dull, non penis spaces

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/07/2025 10:11

Less than 8k to go to fund this first phase!

Grammarnut · 20/07/2025 09:44

Donated. CofL are CFs.

SinnerBoy · 19/07/2025 10:16

Oh dear:

Trans women have been legally allowed to use the ladies’ pond for 15 years due to the Equality Act 2010 and were formally invited by KLPA in 2018.

How wrong she is!

Amazingly. Did they not read the SC judgement. Did they not understand that the law was not changed but stated as it always had been? It says 'Ladies Pond' e.g. women. When are they letting women into the Men's Pond - or is that different?

Grammarnut · 20/07/2025 09:33

WithSilverBells · 14/07/2025 09:37

Donated. This is a good test case for can anyone make 'women' mean anything they want. Looking at you, Women's Institute.

Assuming TRAs are going to go through lists with fine toothcomb is unlikely (not impossible but presumably Sex Mattes keeps infol secure?) I doubt it matters much. Gift Aid helps the organisation you are donating to.

icantgetnopeace · 19/07/2025 10:37

Over 40k today. Wonder if JK has made a donation 🤔

borntobequiet · 19/07/2025 07:56

Over four fifths of the way there. I will put a little more in the pot after yesterday’s shenanigans in the employment tribunal.

MotherOfCatBoy · 19/07/2025 07:28

Donated.
Cant believe they’re still getting away with this.

moto748e · 18/07/2025 21:27

I'm sure Sandie has made quite a splash on this case too!

WeMeetInFairIthilien · 18/07/2025 19:58

Just sent off a donation, in part due to this being such an important case, and in part thanks for today and Sex Matters support of Sandie Peggie.

GrimDamnFanjo · 18/07/2025 18:00

This is one of the issues I’d really like to be sorted out once and for all. If only to piss off Edward Lord.

moto748e · 18/07/2025 18:00

Was working yesterday.

In effect they are claiming that the EA does not apply to them.

Tried to donate but not sure it went through so I'll give it 24 hours and try again.

Same here

defrazzled · 18/07/2025 16:11

94% on the Times agree no TW in the women's pool. This batshit ideology is wanted by pretty much NO ONE

Comtesse · 18/07/2025 15:35

Donated.

Tatemoderndrawyourown · 18/07/2025 07:41

Well if it all goes pear shape and it turns out that anyone can use any pond, I’ll overcome my massive hate of swimming (and in ‘dirty’ water!!!) and go swim in the men’s. After all I had breast cancer and don’t use make up.
