I've recently become addicted to a Gofundme campaign. Every time I press refresh the total raised has jumped up and I don't seem to be able to stop.

I'm trying to stay within Mumsnet rules here, so obviously I can't link or promote it.

Does anyone else have this enjoyable problem?

It made my day being on the TERF blocker list. It means I must be doing something right in life.

£12,900 and kudos to everyone donating and sharing.

I've offered my colleagues a lift the GRA meeting in Bristol.

I think mn went a bit wonky then... Grin

ATeardropExplodes · 15/01/2018 19:40

No I am THAT happy about it!

boldlygoingsomewhere · 15/01/2018 19:43

This is amazing! Thanks so much for giving the heads-up here.

explodingkittens · 15/01/2018 19:46

I donated yesterday, but have just cancelled my Labour Party subs so will donate them as well. When they contact me asking why I'm no longer paying to be a member, I'll tell them they can have my hard-earned back when they sort this crap out. Maybe.

Love all the waa-waa-whataboutery in the gofundme comments, though. It's such a male trait. FWIW next weekend my big ol' evil hate-filled terfy self will be standing outside my local supermarket collecting for an independent foodbank, accompanied by the mostly middle-aged/elderly women who also volunteer. I've been volunteeering there for over a year and I've yet to see a single young libfem/brocialist pitch up to help. Funny, that...

Reached £13000.

On the latest update Jennifer mentions turning off the comments - what will the TRAs do then?!

RedLemonade · 15/01/2018 19:57

Thanks for the heads up on this one folks!

cafeaulaitpourvous · 15/01/2018 20:03

The TRAs and MRAs think we are going to be good little uterus bearers and shut the fuck up

£13000 and counting shows we are not going to do that........

BeyondWW · 15/01/2018 20:05

759 donations and over five thousand shares.
Nice quiet becunted ones... Wink

VeraGrant · 15/01/2018 20:08

TRAs and MRAs are one and the same. It is fabulous to see them squeal in outrage at the fact that women still have one avenue of protest open to them. And are daring to exercise their LEGAL RIGHTS! They had assumed they had beaten women into submission through abuse and fear

BlackBetha · 15/01/2018 20:19

They had assumed they had beaten women into submission through abuse and fear

But they never will. The more they try, the more women they alienate.

VeraGrant · 15/01/2018 20:22

I pray you’re right. The comments from the transbots on the page have really wound me up. There are so many who rabidly want to erase women. And a lot of women have bought into it too!

explodingkittens · 15/01/2018 20:36

*For causing division amongst the sisterhood and willfully harming women, I hereby banish you and your supporters from the feminist movement. Until such a time when you can sincerely apologize for your grievous misconduct and enter into rehabilitation for your transphobia, you are banned from identifying yourselves as feminists.

from the comments section.

Like an oddly-articulate toddler. You couldn't make this shit up Grin

IrkThePurist · 15/01/2018 20:39

It all goes to show how easily men can be shamed into stopping their behaviour, as long as its someone they perceive as having authority who shames them.

ATeardropExplodes · 15/01/2018 20:40

Kittens, I can't believe we're still doing feminism wrong, even after it's been mansplained to us.

anonymice · 15/01/2018 20:42

13,000 and rising. Good.

Thehairthebod · 15/01/2018 20:42

Wha? 😂

explodingkittens · 15/01/2018 20:43

That's the one @teardrop. Just above the bloke cutting and pasting the word TERF 100 times. These men are just killing it with their incisive logical arguments Grin
