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

This is why I absolutely love We may not always agree with the decision that MNHQ makes and I know they’re under massive pressure, so I appreciate the fact that they give women a place to speak. For Mumsnet too. 💐

I am so happy to see all the support that Maya has received.

Thank you Maya for being so brave. This is such an important case.

As Isabel says on a certain site, PUULLLL!

You may be the only person in a scarily dark room, with a candle, Maya, but that candle will help light other candles and the light will shine into the dark corners. Well done on helping the light shine.

Thank you, Maya. I am delighted and heartened by all the support you have had today. As I said in the deleted thread, I am sorry you are having to go through this but am with you all the way.

Well, the unmentionable thing sure it's sending a powerful message.

Another one adding their support for this case and for Maya.

Humans cannot change sex, this isn't a belief it's a fact and facts should always be able to be stated no matter who doesn't like it.

That thing we aren’t talking about is making me weep a little weep - well done sisters!

The thing we aren't talking about is proof we're not funding by right wing American Christians or some such nonsense. It's all there, plain to see - above board. Ordinary people chipping in together. Average donation under £30.

Just adding support and courage to you Maya!

I feel JN is right that gender is a belief. The GRA should be scrapped and trans people protected under article 9. Equally GC people who do not share the same belief should be protected under article 9

Completely agree. Trans people should also be protected under freedom of expression.

I am really heartened by how fast something we’re not allowed to talk about has moved.

15 months ago it took weeks to achieve the level of support that has today been achieved in under 12 hours. People are waking up and it is truly beautiful!

RepealtheGRA Agree. It's been amazing to see that thing grow today, I keep logging in and checking. Rage measured in £££ I think.
It's wonderful to see.

Maya thank you for putting yourself out there for all of us. It means so much, especially to those of us who are effectively silenced.

Solidarity Maya.
This is such an important fight.

This is such a hugely important case for women's rights and for freedom of expression. The thing we mustn't mention has already exceeded all expectations.

After the day at work from hell, this has been a tonic.

Sorry you had a bad day floral

What a great result, and Maya tweeted my comment and donation support.

Totally behind you, this could be any of us.

You are amazing Maya! This case will shed a whole lot of light in this issue, which is exactly what we need.

Thank you

Anyone know how long it is likely to be till it gets to court?

I think this shows just how many pissed off women there are - thank you Maya for fighting this fight on behalf of us. These are my views as well and I should be able to say them without fear.

Another one adding thanks and support to Maya

I’m kinda pissed at the women doing the TRAs work for them, though. They don’t even need to bother to complain. You’ll get the thread deleted yourselves ffs.
Anyhoo. I posted on the original thread about twelve hours ago - this case is completely pivotal. I’m sure you would much rather have not been sacked, Maya, but thank you for having the courage to use that horrific experience to legally challenge this belief system. Sending huge strength and support.

Such an important case. Thank you Maya and unless you get an extremely woke judge the outcome should be obvious. Tttmnbm gives me great joy.
