Maya Forstater

[DianeBrewster]

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

He did say that.

He knows what feminists want. Fecker

The ignorance is painful. You don't have to wait two years to get medication, that's to get a GRC. You have to wait to get medication just like any other bloody patient.

Stupid woman talking about caster. Utterly uninformed

That employment man actually admitting that he knows nothing about this case, so his opinion is completely worthless (seriously, why invite someone on who knows nothing about what you want to ask them???).

I wish we could have some kind of panel where the real issues were laid out in black-and-white.

Should men go to women's prisons?

Should men go on all women shortlists?

What is the definition of a woman?

All of it. It's not this fucking difficult.

The green woman just bleated out usual blah blah

I looked at her talking and I thought. You don’t actually believe that

Absolutely pitiful dodging of the issue by the panel. Fuck off Green Party, fuck off Grace and Labour. And fuck off Politics Live for that dumb McCarthyist question, "are you transphobic?" Really?

Jo Coburn with that bullshit head tilt "Are you transphobic?" to Maya.

At this point I couldn't have less respect for the BBC (or the Green Party for that matter)

Yeah, the green woman looked like a hostage.

And how many times did Maya have to say she was not violating her company's social media policy? The actually said they are expecting everyone in the think tank to disagree with one another. It's part of the process.

But one by fucking one they said 'but...but you can't violate your companies social media policy'.

Absolute idiocy.

Gah! Looked like a hostage!!

Yeps jo coburn. Are you transphobic. What a stupid question. Maya’s face was like wtaf did I just hear

I have reported my post

Hahaha

bernard

Lol, that was so unexpected, it actually made me snort. Which was entirely necessary due to the pressure cooker-esque steam from my ears.

Lololol Bernard, that's a hell of a typo!!!!

Still laughing.

I needed a belly laugh after throwing all the sofa cushions across the room.

You've got a good face for tv, Maya. You are able to keep a neutral expression even when people are being absolute morons around you. Important when you are filling a frame.

It is a skill I lack. My admiration for you has gone up even more.

How are we at a point where people in power are so incredibly thick ?

Come on MN, please come and delete it!

Bernard
😂 hadn’t scrolled down far enough and had a WTF? moment there.

Also feel so betrayed by the Greens, when environmental issues are vitally important, they make themselves unelectable with the whole Challenor issue and stuff like this.

Come on BernardBlacksWineIcelolly your post brought some well-needed levity. Let's keep it.

Indeed, I voted for them in the recent local election. I won’t make that mistake again.

The green woman saying transwomen are women and transmen are men.

Why can't we have a discussion about what that means????

What is the definition of woman they are using?

Let's bloody hear it, explain yourselves, account for why you think women are stereotypes on a stick?

Anyway, I think you’re mostly being polite about the Green Party member (Bernard excepted obvs ) I can completely believe she believes it.

What is the definition of woman they are using?

Oh I would love to hear each of those lazy, flaccid brained bandwagon jumpers on that panel answer that question
