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.

I used to follow you when I was still on Twitter, you were one of the first GC accounts I followed and you taught me a lot. But I primarily followed you because of the wonderful work you do for women and I’m sad that this happened to you. I’m very lucky my mother didn’t die at my fathers hands, it’s a miracle tbh. I was subjected to his wrath and the last violent episode where I fought back ended with me and my sister being kicked out of home at 16 & 17.

What you do is so important and so beautiful, it is heartbreaking there are people out there so twisted and cruel they wish to impede you. I will be donating today. Best wishes to you, and thank you 🙏🏻

Honestly, it's right up there with West Yorkshire Police killing someone's dog for barking in the "WTF is wrong with you people?" stakes. What kind of person goes after someone fundraising for refuges?

LangCleg · 11/10/2018 09:28

Will make another donation in honour of said wankstains today, Jean. I feel this is by far the best response.

This narc lashing out and conspiracy theorising is just more DARVO -because they know they are funded by the elite and nobody else and they know we are funded by fivers and tenners from ordinary women who have stopped being afraid of them.

AngryAttackKittens · 11/10/2018 09:30

They're enraged because they know that nobody believes them.

Threewheeler1 · 11/10/2018 09:31

What a bunch of absolute tossers. They're digging new lows all the time.

Jean, you're a bit of a legend in your own lifetime.
Did I read somewhere that you've been shortlisted for the Emma Humphreys Memorial prize?
If that's true, it's well deserved so congratulations! You really are inspiring Star

What kind of person goes after someone fundraising for refuges?

The transactivists attacking Vancouver Rape Relief in Canada?

Maybe there are some common themes here. Just a thought.

AngryAttackKittens · 11/10/2018 09:36

Odd that, isn't it?

LangCleg · 11/10/2018 09:38

They're digging new lows all the time.

They are. And I'm so grateful to courageous women like Jean who are prepared to take this shit in public - because they expose themselves to more and more people every time they do it.

I am still raging about West Yorkshire Police killing that dog. Ffs.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 11/10/2018 09:40

Did I read somewhere that you've been shortlisted for the Emma Humphreys Memorial prize?

yes, I saw this on Twitter last night (along with WPUK in another category)

Huge congratulations Jean, very well deserved

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 11/10/2018 09:41

Flowers you’re doing great work Jean, don’t let the bastards grind you down

dragongirlx · 11/10/2018 09:43

You are fabulous Jean and its horrible they are targeting you like this

don't let them grind you down

Jeanhatchet · 11/10/2018 09:57

Awww you lot! Thanks so much for all the support ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing, Jean. Sorry to hear about the grief you're getting. I have donated to your cause again Flowers.

Janie143 · 11/10/2018 10:10

I've just donated too. It would be great if this story was picked up by a newspaper or TV Perfect example of TRA outrageous behaviour

LangCleg · 11/10/2018 10:11

What kind of person goes after someone fundraising for refuges?

The kind of person who is supported by the Greens, the Labour Party, the Lib Dems, Children in Need, Comic Relief, Stonewall, the BBC, the Guides, Ocado....

.... so y'know. Let's see it for what it is. A male supremacist movement is being supported by every establishment institution in this country and only ordinary women and a few ordinary men are standing against it.

We all know who is wielding the power here.

NameChangedAgain18 · 11/10/2018 10:11

I'm sorry to hear this, Jean. I've made a donation to your GoFundMe page.

I've decided that every time there's a TRA attack on a woman's organisation, I'm going to donate to it.

WhenIWasAYoungWarthog · 11/10/2018 10:16

You’re doing great work 💕

I’ve just donated too. It’s great to see how much money you’ve raised. I really hope this gets some kind of press coverage because it is truly disgusting behaviour and shines such a bright light on the sheer hatred for women that these people have.

GulagsMyArse · 11/10/2018 10:19

well thats got me donating.

newtlover · 11/10/2018 10:22

me too

WineGummyBear · 11/10/2018 10:22

Donated.

I think what you are doing is wonderful.

Can you get some coverage of the attack on your local media?

Jeanhatchet · 11/10/2018 10:26

You women - so very kind. Don't underestimate how much even a small donation helps a women's service. Wearside help a lot of women with no recourse to public funds so no govt funds to pay for their refuge spaces etc. An IDVA is also really invaluable in helping high risk women stay alive. They help the women most at risk of homicide.

Sorry if I'm telling some of you what you well know!

So sorry you are being attacked in this way.

This is definitely turning into a thing. TRAs attacking women for doing anything for women.

Nasty, nasty vile people.

Again for the lurkers, a woman riding to raise money for victims of domestic violence is being attacked.

TransposersArePosers · 11/10/2018 10:30

Jean, you are amazing.

I am sorry you've been attacked in this way, but as a result I've donated to your cause for the first time today.

Ereshkigal · 11/10/2018 10:46

Odd that, isn't it?

Very. I'll put it in my Big Book of Totally Unconnected Coincidences.
