Billboard with dictionary definition 'woman: adult human female' removed after pressure from TRAs.

[R0wantrees]

Is the OED now hate speech?

Interesting to note some of the sources of the complaints: twitter.com/Direct_PS/status/1044263398333132800

That primesite response is a huge giggle. 'At first sight this content did not raise a red flag. I almost feel sorry for them really. "Bloody weird, some of those feminists want this at the conference" "Not a very jazzy message eh"

Good! Can anyone contact someone from FPFW?

Fantastic news. This will peak trans hundreds of thousands of people once the press get hold of it.

I'll chip in. Would Posie not be the best person to instruct a solicitor?

I'll donate as well.

howls I'm up for a crowdfunder. I can definitely bung some money towards that 2K.

So angry about this tonight that I'm desperate to throw money at a crowdfunder, just to feel less fucking shafted.

Ill spin some money towards it too, if anything gets set up

I will donate to crowdfunded also. This billboard ridiculousness actually, seriously, no hyperbole, is actually attempting to erase women as a sex class.

'woman: adult human female' offensive. Fuck that. If we cant define ourselves, woman as a class is erased. I will happily contribute to a crowdfunder I expect it would be Posie who would need to take action though.

Posie is synonymous with standing for women.

It's a breach of (at least) arts 9,10,14 ECHR. That the govnt is allowing this unfettered discrimination against women is a breach of its obligations under (inter alia) Cedaw. This needs to go to court.

Happening in New Zealand too: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3375260-Suffragists-Fought-for-the-Female-Sex

Came on here in the hope that people were discussing crowdfunding a legal challenge to the notion that the dictionary definition of our sex class is hate speech. I am so in

Does anyone on here have a means of contacting Posie and letting her know that a lot of people would be prepared to contribute to a crowdfunder on this one?

Me too

also happy to donate

Keeping an eye out for the crowdfunder.

Count me in.

More than happy to donate. This evening if needs be!

came across this whilst looking for the definiation of woman, to make sure it hadnt changed whilst i was sleeping.... www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2017/09/why_a_controversial_definition_of_the_word_woman_doesn_t_necessarily_mean.html?via=gdpr-consent surely if the billboards are taken down because they are deemed transphobic, then so too must all dictionaries remove the definition of woman as an adult human female (of the fairer/gentler sex) . Funny how no one is trying to change the definition of man yet

This has gone to far. I'd another who's more than happy to cough up some cash towards funding a legal challenge.

I'd donate. I hope someone connected to the billboard is able to take this further. It'll be a good thing to discuss with others at the private prosecution and make plans.

If it was me, I'd sue Harrop for tortious interference. He has intentionally interfered with a contract that he has nothing to do with. Go after him for punative damages, theres more than enough evidence that hes malicious in his dealing

For anyone who wants to donate, I would recommend looking at their website. They've put out a statement. As you may have read the billboard has been deemed transphobic and is being removed in an act of grotesque misogynistic rage, we are seeking legal advice and will make a full statement in due course. In the meantime we have a donate button at the bottom of every page and would welcome any contributions to our campaign....
