AIBU GoFundMe addiction

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?

He IS backing down !

He read the bit about leftover funds being used to stop the medicalisation of children.

He needs back up and some proper information. Jazz Jennings, for instance.

I'm not on Twitter! I feel impotent. But if anyone can help, please do!

Please someone on Twitter share the stats about trans kids being gay adults. That's the shocking thing to me, that we are doing conversion therapy!

You're not on Twitter Datun! Shock why ever not? Twitter needs your intelligence!

LangCleg · 18/01/2018 16:27

Datun - as soon as I say anything supportive of a man, they go and act like a fucking idiot. I'll never learn.

Yes! This is brilliant isn't it? I know there are still issues around GRCs etc but for the Labour Party to back down on self-id is good isn't it?

Does Lily M have a GRC or are they a self IDer? Can they carry on as woman's officer?

Jennifer James is now talking about refunding everyone but I for one would be happy for her to keep my money. I'm sure it is going to be needed at some point very soon.

I can only handle one addiction at a time!

... by which I mean mumsnet, not crack or anything.

I think he's confused by the number of 'women/feminists' who are telling him he's doing it all wrong.

He's on informed. He obviously gets it, but is now shocked at the backlash and conviction of the twits on there.

Dear oh dear, so much for Maugham QC. I do wonder though whether he was surprised by the reaction (he might have seen a noticeable dent in his followers), and seized on "oh look, I didn't notice they're actually transphobes, can't support them after all" to get out of a hole.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/01/2018 16:37

Great news! Now the relaxation to the GRC legislation needs to be stopped. They will just go back to putting pressure on that now.

Someone on Facebook just pointed out that if you donate under a fake name anyone can click on it and see your real name?! So be careful.

Fucking disappointed in Jolyon Maugham. Weak as fuck.

Wow, you are really cringing nauticant! Grin

To be fair it's pretty spectacular back down, so worth posting several times!

gunsandbanjos · 18/01/2018 16:49

It’s disappointing he’s taken this stance.

nauticant · 18/01/2018 16:49

GRRRRR.

But you're right Thehairthebod, that is worth a mega cringe.

Glitterypinksoap · 18/01/2018 16:51

Seems to be a MN tech issue not your browser Nauticant - looking at threads i'm on a whole set have just had multiple duplicated posts.

Thegirlinthefireplace · 18/01/2018 16:51

I think it's the site nautical as I've been having the same trouble
