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

Sam Gyimah also on Politics Live first public action last year when he became Universities Minister:

May 2018
"Sam Gyimah, the universities minister, will announce tough guidance on the issue at a meeting today, calling attempts to silence debate “chilling”.

He will accuse some student societies of “institutional hostility” to certain unfashionable but perfectly lawful views. A “murky” legal landscape, with guidance from various regulators, lets zealots censor those with whom they disagree, Mr Gyimah will say.

I haven't missed it have I? Only just turned on.

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:40

No. Still waiting

AncientLights · 08/05/2019 11:43

Ah good. Thought I'd missed it too. Excited. Go Maya!

R0wantrees · 08/05/2019 11:44

Now on

LangCleg · 08/05/2019 11:44

GO MAYA!

AncientLights · 08/05/2019 11:45

Starting now

LangCleg · 08/05/2019 11:47

Fuck off, Jo, with provoke. Fuck the fuck off.

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:50

TWAW. all the what

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:51

Ohhhhh here we go

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:52

Here’s a guy telling us

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:52

Well. All the people telling us

Grrrrrrrr.

LangCleg · 08/05/2019 11:52

reducing gender to sex

ARGH THERE AREN'T ENOUGH FUCKING SWEAR WORDS.

You can fuck off as well, Grace. How can you get it so backwards?

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 08/05/2019 11:53

Fucking hell. I really can’t be more eloquent than that I’m afraid. A whole panel talking bollocks, completely unchallenged.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:54

Maya did a good job against the usual BBC bullshit on this issue

AncientLights · 08/05/2019 11:54

They can all fuck off. Apart from Maya obvs. Ridiculous comments showing they clearly don't understand the wider issues.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:55

GENDER IS NOT A GOOD THING!

I thought we settled that in the 70s?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 08/05/2019 11:55

These are intelligent people.

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Go Maya

FloralBunting · 08/05/2019 11:56

Yeah.

BBC with their jokes. Guests on to discuss the case who didn't know anything about the case.

Bloke mansplaining that self ID actually gives feminists what they want. (??!???)

New Statesman journo waffling about 'the South African runner's and testosterone.

Green Party member proving yet again that they are a craven load of shit and that "The most important thing is trans people".

Fuck the fucking barrel load of them.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:56

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Don’t care enough about women’s issues to go against the grain on this

No mention of the extraordinary success of the crowd funder

FlightPack · 08/05/2019 11:57

Fux sake. It was a piece on protected belief not whether TWAW etc. If they were going to allow the panel to debate it then have a bloody balance panel.

Also the whole purpose of twitter is for debate and discussion. If it's for something else, tell all the mp's to delete their account.

Also seemingly deliberate use of the word 'provoke'...'provoke debate?' Or is she trying to insinuate 'provoke hate?'

LangCleg · 08/05/2019 11:58

Bloke mansplaining that self ID actually gives feminists what they want. (??!???)

Did he really just say, in not so many words, that they'll all be chemically castrated if we hand out hormones like sweeties, so what's the problem?

He really did just say that, didn't he?

littlbrowndog · 08/05/2019 11:58

Yeah. I was swearing like a well
Like my usual self.

Shoulda asked that guy if he considered tw. In his dating pool like that guy on twitter who said no

Ffs it’s not transphobic to stand up for women’s rights.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/05/2019 11:58

Little twerp

FloralBunting · 08/05/2019 11:59

Yes Lang, the oily little shit actually said that.
