Trans attack on Fund for refuges

Hi Women,

Just to let you know my ride for murdered women was subject to attack from trans activists yesterday afternoon.

They accused me of stealing the money to pay for Fair Play adverts which is a blatant untruth.

Wearside Women will confirm today that they have properly received fully transparent accounts for the donated money which transfers directly from Go Fund Me to them without ever touching my account. I do this for exactly this kind of reason!

The upside is - their nasty little tricks resulted in people donating £1000 altogether in a few hours. Thanks to anyone who did. ❤️

That showed em. Women are mighty.

Jean, that is the lowest of the low that they did that and hope you are OK.

I'm so sorry you're enduring thus when you are riding in memory of murdered women and when you are ill yourself, but pleased that donations soared.

Is there any footage? I'm sure BBC Newsnight should cover it.

Arseholes. Angry

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Jeanhatchet · 11/10/2018 07:57

I have screenshots of the tweets

Oh, this makes me so angry. How dare they? I'm so glad it resulted in more donations though. Truth will out!

AngryAttackKittens · 11/10/2018 08:02

Consider, lurkers, what kind of person attacks a woman raising money to fund refuges. What does that tell you about the people who would do that? Why do you think a woman best known for activism to draw attention to the appalling number of women murdered by their partners would be the preferred target for a certain kind of person, and what does that tell you about them?

Keep your chin up, Jean, and don't let the bastards get you down.

Oh, is this the "thing of the week"? Given that FPFW were criticised for buying the Metro ad rather than "funding refuges"; pretty sure the same is levelled at Posie and WPUK.

We can do more than one thing at a time, you know, and even on my pathetic wages I can give a tenner to a campaign to protect our rights AND one to protect our most vulnerable.

Flowers for Jean. Will dig out your fundraising link later today.

Gileswithachainsaw · 11/10/2018 08:15

So sorry you had to put up with that jean

T get really don't give a shit do they. If they were women they'd be fearful of refuges being closed down and having nowhere to go.

Instead of pissed off men might miss out on something. They know they will be ok .

It's the equivalent to pushing a cake off the table and then stamping all over it, then pissing on it for good measure, just because nobody offered you a slice. Even though the cake was in someone else's house, that person had not invited you in, and the cake was made to celebrate the birthday of someone who you used to bully at primary school.

Hi, Jean.

Some people will stoop to any depths to achieve their aims, won't they? I am sorry to hear of the latest trouble.

Keep on keeping on! You are doing a great job.

ShotsFired · 11/10/2018 08:20

That's just propaganda now. Spreading lies as truth.

I'm sorry it happened but. It sorry it got you more funds.

What a bunch of miserable shits they are. Can't have women, can't be women, so let's stop anyone trying to help women.

OvaHere · 11/10/2018 08:22

They know it's untrue. They are just malicious for the fun of it.

Your fundraising is amazing, I've donated to your cause. Flowers

Poppyred85 · 11/10/2018 08:23

Excellent analogy AAK

Flowers for you Jean nolite te bastardes carborundorum

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 11/10/2018 08:24

arseholes

but thank you for the reminder to bung another few quid your way

take care

MoniBitchell · 11/10/2018 08:25

donated.

thank you for drawing our attention to this, Jean.

BreakWindandFire · 11/10/2018 08:28

Can you name them?

Mumsnut · 11/10/2018 08:29

Tempting to sue for defamation?

LurkyMcLurkface · 11/10/2018 08:29

Wow, that is a really shitty thing to do. I am already raging today as I'm struggling to speak out about this among 'woke' friends.

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. I have been reading your blog this week after discovering you on twitter, you do something amazing and important. I just feel sick with rage that anyone would stoop so low.

*Runs off to donate.

Jeanhatchet · 11/10/2018 08:51

Thanks women. Great support and a brilliant analogy too x

Off to donate now. Another own goal for the TRA Grin

Best analogy EVER.

Cuntysnark · 11/10/2018 09:05

So sorry they are doing this to you. For a group that’s as shallow as a puddle they are surprisingly adept at sinking to new lows.

OrchidInTheSun · 11/10/2018 09:10

I'm so sorry Jean but glad it's raised some more funds.

This is all connected to that person who was trying to figure out where FPFW got the money for the Metro ads isn't it? They are utterly pathetic.

And yes, that is a brilliant analogy AAK :)

heresyandwitchcraft · 11/10/2018 09:15

I am very sorry, Jean Flowers
TRAs are overgrown petulant children who cannot stop throwing tantrums.
AAK, that analogy is perfect.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 11/10/2018 09:18

AAK
Pure poetry. So apt. Can't stop giggling.
