MN have deleted the thread started by Maya - who lost her job for speaking up for women- because it talks about her crowdfunding for legal costs

Here is today's times article on the case https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tax-expert-fired-for-saying-trans-women-aren-t-women-tpqgnm9vj?shareToken=3f12f5cae61c02fd41040eb816fd37b4&wgu=2705255426441557045162977940f0d76fa1&wgexpiry=1564821162&utmmsource=planit&utmmedium=affiliate&utmm_content=22278

Sometimes I wonder if I’m too thick to be posting on this board. Then the AWAs rock up and restore my faith in my own intelligence.

Nice one prawn. I have never seen that before. 💪💪🔥🔥🥂

You will find explanation and hopefully reassurance in the FAQs:

On CrowdJustice the targets are automatically set then automatically rise after the target is met.... Amateurs....

Justhadathought · 05/05/2019 19:32

a legitimate question when she first made the post target 30,000 she says I am crowdfunding for expenses to pay for legal representation to take this case to employment tribunal, if you read that and saw the target at 30,000 you would think it cost 30,000 to take to employment tribunal. it should of been explained before hand that this did not include a full merits hearing.

I'm sure whatever is left over can go into a fund to fight, the inevitable, other cases when they crop up.

greenlloon · 05/05/2019 19:34

this is what annoys me people at the moment where i work can say what they like they dont get disciplined. but people do not have there contract renewed without explanation to them all the time.

DpWm · 05/05/2019 19:37

I think you've used a double negative there by mistake?

Genderfreelass · 05/05/2019 20:05

Loon

Personally I hope Maya's support exceeds all targets by a huge amount. I can't support today but will most definitely be supporting within the time frame and im probably not the only supporter in that position. I hope support absolutely skyrockets and shows those that disagree that we are not such an insignificant number but that we are in fact very very significant. The more significant we are the more we will be noticed and the bigger we will grow.

RepealTheGRA · 05/05/2019 20:07

I am particularly inspired by people who disagree with Maya’s viewpoint but are supporting her from a free speech POV. Smile

Keeptrudging · 05/05/2019 20:10

My favourite post re this on twitter is the one which says "Women are angry". Damn right.

OvaHere · 05/05/2019 20:28

Martina donated and tweeted about the thing. Smile

Sexnotgender · 05/05/2019 20:35

Can’t believe Martina donated, amazing!

welshgendercrit · 05/05/2019 20:37

Pleased to see the wonderful Martina has contributed to that which must not be mentioned and tweeted about it. Huge amounts of support out there.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 05/05/2019 20:40

It's really fierce and energising isn't it littlbrowndog. Glad you like it.

PencilsInSpace · 05/05/2019 20:43

It's wonderful watching the rebirth of a proper women's rights movement Smile

S1naidSucks · 05/05/2019 20:52

It's wonderful watching the rebirth of a proper women's rights movement.

What a brilliant way to put it. It’s like the real suffrage’s have been reborn.

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 05/05/2019 20:55

I've pledged. You should never be sacked for stating biological fact.

littlbrowndog · 05/05/2019 20:57

Yes prawn. The energy and fight

We have it here

Lamaha · 05/05/2019 20:58

Please don't discuss The Thing. Let loon figure it out on their own.

50shadesofgreyrock · 05/05/2019 21:20

Fair enough resister. You have greater confidence in the mn moderation team in the face of TRA challenge than I do, so hopefully I’m overly concerned. Smile

FloralBunting · 05/05/2019 21:25

Yeah, can I just point out that, given MNHQ have made clear the whole thread is under threat of deletion if THE THING is linked to/referenced, can I ask everyone to be mindful of why someone who clearly agrees that women should be sacked for wrongthink would want to ask pointedly specific questions about THE THING?

I don't like this shit any more than any of you. But let's be wise women and not let the controllers have their way.

Datun · 05/05/2019 21:30

Some wonderful comments on here. Being fucking furious does not stop many women being profoundly philosophical and creative.

cwg1 · 05/05/2019 21:33

Pencils Yes. I can only say how shamefully ignorant I was about this until just over a year ago. You wonderful women really are making history - campaigning, debating, lobbying with steadfast determination. Courage calls to courage everywhere Flowers

Cuntysnark · 05/05/2019 21:42

Watching Maya’a crowdfunder grow is a joy.

AnotherLass · 05/05/2019 21:48

Someone just left a comment on THE THING in a language that Google Translate says is Maori. Solidarity with any Maori supporters out there...
