AIBU GoFundMe addiction

[DistaffSide]

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?

I suspect that the campaign itself will be removed soon

Like it say trans can have own place and yes would not be against a certain percentage of places. But don’t let’s take them away for woman lists.

Trans lists should be broken down and taken out of the men spaces, spaces should also be given proportional of membership percentage to BAME, LGB and disabled members too.

What! Please. Why can’t we have some sensible rules around not being in situation where all woman awards,sports,jobs, short lists aren’t given to trans women. Let’s all have some Trans only list by all means.

I suspect that the campaign itself will be removed soon sad

If so, then GoFundMe will be added onto my shitlist with 38Degrees. Which is a pity, because there are some good causes on there, but they are a business, and the only way to show my displeasure is not to interact with them again.

It's not transphobia to want something restricted by sex.

In English please teardrop!

lol - I know what she's talking about and can't understand it

I would like to vote to keep 'Pepresentatives' though - something about that word tickles me.

Pleased it's doing so well already, will donate once I figure out how much money I can spare at the moment.

Donated

“Keep All-Women Shortlists Female!” is a cause I believe in

Why the hell would mumsnet delete a thread if we like to a campaign?

The campaign cannot legally be removed. The Equality Act 2010 specifically allows for AWS in political parties based on the protected characteristic of sex.

Its the Labour Party who are in the wrong.

I’m glad it’s back up

Stinkpickle We can't link to it. MN will delete cos themz the rulez.

MN said this when this campaign was linked on a thread last night

Ha me too - wondering at what level the lp will sit up and think 'I'm not sure these women are just going to roll over and let us walk all over their rights - how odd'

Thanks for posting this. I have donated!

Almost halfway to target !!

I have made a small contribution. So glad to be able to contribute to some practical action. Love the picture of the suffragettes/ists (?) with the banner which is just perfect in the circumstances.

*@PocketCoffeeEspresso what happened with 38Degrees? I have supported them in the past so would be interested to hear.

I have the same addiction OP!

It gives me a rush of "Fuckin' YAS!" every time I hit refresh.

(this thread reminds me of the list of people that just occurred to me apropos to nothing at all thread )

I’ve tried googling but don’t think I am finding the right go fund me pages.
Would someone pm me a link?

Have donated and shared the link on Facebook too

Hey Colin - On a totally unrelated subject, you should check out Twitter, even if you're not on it, Google @msjenniferjames and it should show you her page. She has a great picture on there of the suffragettes.

The campaign is trending - I don't know what that actually means, but I assume it's good?!

Donated!! 👍🏼

Great to see a couple of male donors recently.
