Good Laugh Project insinuate that Sex Matters are in trouble with the Charity Commission

I appear to have missed Jolyon's resounding condemnation of the tweets of sexualised abuse up to and including rape threats that GC women have faced from trans activists for years.

He's leaving X

It's a deliberate merging of 2 totally different things.

I think OP's intro falls for it.

Sex Matters had no information about a complaint about a speaker from years ago.

They only now know because GLP added it in as a side comment about something else.

There is no need to help them amplify their falsehoods.

I suspect any number of rational and genuine organisations have had speakers who years later make offenisve or inappropriate remarks.

What are they supposed to do? Consult a clairvoyant before booking anyone?

I read about this earlier. Isn't it essentially:

GLP: Reports SM
CC: Follows duty to investigate a report
GLP: OMGGGGG SM ARE BEING INVESTIGATED!!!

For what it's worth, JM was above the relevant age of consent and doesn't claim that the sex was anything other than consensual.

IIRC Richard Dunstan did a bit of work for SM a couple of years ago as their parliamentary lead or similar. I enjoy his analysis of GLP's barnstorming court losses but had no idea he had posted these horrible comments. V disappointing.

Yes.

Thank you for clarifying that. Apologies - I stand corrected.

Of course it will because they keep helping in court cases and with public awareness. Therefore they must be punished and shut down by any means possible. Even if its through harassing people to financial oblivion with vexatious claims.

Is RD the one who keeps a spreadsheet on the GLP wins/losses/crowdfunders? 🤔

What RD said about JM was outrageously offensive, and it goes against everything SM stands for to suggest that they would in any way condone making fun of the sexual abuse of a child.
I'm sure if SM had known that three years later RD was going to say something so gross in 2025, they would not have described him as a friend in 2022.
Hindsight is 20/20.

close relations with the leading anti-trans charity Sex Matters

When is the court case that proves believing in sex and stopping sexism is 'anti-trans' please?

As for 'close relations'... Is this like trying to say he's sleeping with JKR or some other fucking ludicrous idea where you can't be in 200miles of someone GC otherwise you somehow hold exactly the same views and agenda?

Steady now Jolyon, the Ayatollah is speaking about child 'marriage' and making homophobic remarks.

JM has reported Richard Dunstan to the police with a swipe at Sex Matters.

Mr Dunstan is not an anonymous troll. He has close relations with the leading anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The Times recently came to me for comment in relation to one of his allegations. And he is periodically quoted in the far-right blogosphere.For these reasons, I have referred Mr Dunstan’s tweet to the police. I believe his conduct amounts to an offence under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003. I will also take legal advice on other criminal and civil law remedies for his broader campaign against me and my family.

Richard Dunstan insulted JM on X in December, and JM complained to the CC about it on the basis that SM 'platform' RD. The evidence being a tweet of Maya Forstater and RD together outside the High Court during the JR hearing in November, and a tweet from 2022 in which SM describe him as a 'good friend'. I can't find any other links between them.

RD's X account seems to have been taken down.

The CC was already investigating SM because JM complained about a year ago about possible breaches of data law by the men in women's sports survey. So they said 'sure, we'll add this nonsense to that investigation'.

Mermaids irrelevant, and of course GLP has reported it as exciting 'new' investigation into the evil CSA- loving transphobes. It's what they do.

When did sex matters platform this bloke? Ive never heard of him.

The GLP statement says that JM complained for that reason:

“The news follows a complaint made to the Charity Commission by Good Law Project’s founder Jolyon Maugham KC about Sex Matters. Maugham complained of its decision to platform the activist Richard Dunstan, who speculated that, as a child, Maugham had “secretly enjoyed” being “buggered by some dirty old men,” endorsing a profoundly harmful myth that child victims of rape enjoy it.”

This seems somewhat misleading as this isn't the reason JM has complained to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters. Was this deliberately aimed to mislead or a genuine mistake in which case, I would suggest edditing your writing.

GLPs statement implies that Dunstan made the dodgy comments while being platformed by Sex Matters, whereas from Sex Matters’ statement I assume his comments were made entirely separately. I am interested to know the context in which he made the comment(a) and whether Sex Matters reasonably should have known.

Fails to process information properly as so many TRA advocates apparently do when they claim - on repeat - that GC women are trying to deny their existence.
