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?

Did they seriously call us trans excursionists?

as soon as I say anything supportive of a man, they go and act like a fucking idiot

Although I’m a little bit in love with Michael Conroy on Twitter - I don’t think he’s an idiot - I hope not ...

Anyone familiar with this organisation in the US. It was interesting that they have joined forces with a conservative group to fight the bathroom bill.

The fundraiser is at 999 donors!

I agree with PricklyBall and was coming on to suggest this. But what I'd really like to see is an ongoing fund for strategic litigation. I'd donate to one of those every month.

I think the Labour position is unclear, unless anyone else has news?

Spoke to my mum this evening, another life long Labour voter and she's done with them.

I think Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania should be our slogan. EVERY TIME we hear TW are W.

Sorry Terrylene I thought you meant the thread Blush

Terrylene · 18/01/2018 22:28

LOL Grin

It is still stuck at 999 Hmm

Terrylene · 18/01/2018 22:31

When I see TW are W, #nodebate, I just want to write 'no they're not' #nodebate. Need a twitter account.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/01/2018 22:45

Has anyone seen this series of Tweets? One after another from dozens of people saying 'Trans Women are Women'. A cult indeed.

Strategic litigation had to be the way forward.

NHS psychiatric services are allowing any men who fall ‘under the trans umbrella’ (cross dressers, AGPs etc) onto female psychiatric wards, and then gaslighting those women who complain by telling them the man in a dress is a woman. Telling psychotic patients that a man is a bloody woman.

Really, you couldn’t make it up. It’s terrifying.

I also feel sorry for the already over-burdened NHS staff who must be thinking wtf. . ?

Terrylene · 18/01/2018 22:50

Yes I saw the TW are W tweets early on - there was just a long list of them until they got broken up by other people challenging them. They were there first. I am sure they were desperately hanging around the gofundme until they got a real name they could harangue, they were so quick off the mark.

Terrylene · 18/01/2018 22:53

At last, 1000!!! I can go to bed now.

AwakeCantSleep · 18/01/2018 22:54

I've just donated a fiver, so there should be 1000 donors soon Smile

AwakeCantSleep · 18/01/2018 22:55

Yay it's gone through Smile off to bed now.

Terrylene · 18/01/2018 22:57

Thank you Smile

GuardianLions · 18/01/2018 23:15

1000 donors!!!! Grin Wine

Has anyone seen this series of Tweets? One after another from dozens of people saying 'Trans Women are Women'. A cult indeed.

And yet not one of these people can actually give a definition of 'woman' that includes all female people plus transwomen and is not circular.

Still not understanding why being a transwoman is such a bad thing that there is need to say 'no I am not a transwoman'. Surely 'Transwomen are women' is actually the transphobic slogan. As it 'literally erases' trans..

Silencing is free speech, #nodebate

Thehairthebod · 19/01/2018 07:59

'How so?'

'Because they are'

Wow, what a stratospheric level of debate

BeyondWW · 19/01/2018 08:08

It says 982 people?

PocketCoffeeEspresso · 19/01/2018 08:18

It's cached a bit, so it'll take a while to show the actual values I think.

OOAOML · 19/01/2018 08:29

It was showing over 1,000 when I went to bed so I'm guessing a few people have withdrawn their donations.

KizzyBear · 19/01/2018 09:53

Has anybody else seen this?!

Terrylene · 19/01/2018 09:54

Do you have to donate to comment? If so, I was wondering if it was the one who may have paid a fiver to post abuse.

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 19/01/2018 09:55

Yes, I saw that this morning and nearly soiled myself.
