The TRAs are speading lies again.

[SunsetBeetch]

What's rattled their cages, I wonder?

Firstly, we have Christine Burns

"Ah I see it's all been kicked off this morning by Christine Burns posting multiple threads about how women's grassroots organisations are a "sham" and need investigating. Cue mass response accusing them of "money laundering", "fraud" & details on how to report them to HMRC. t.co/bFY4njBzHy"

And then a Glasgow councillor, Rhiannon Spear, retweeting the Irish furry Casey Explosion

"Brilliant thread detailing how anti-trans groups in the UK are being funded by US far right groups that are anti-abortion rights.

Their fundraisers in the pics total
£74k! 🙄

The @tiecampaign could do so much with this kind of money.

Support us here - t.co/JBSQX11YJj"

TIE is an LGBT inclusive education campaign.

Take a look at TIE (@tiecampaign): twitter.com/tiecampaign?s=08

Sorry, here's some of those links again, forgot the brackets

One assumes that Burns has all the requisite evidence to substantiate Burns' allegations in court or is Burns just speculating and trying to smear the collaborative work of women.

It all stems (IMO) from them living in such a bubble that they underestimate just how many women exist who are so furious about this bullshit that they are willing to bung 10 or 20 quid into most GC fundraisers.

Also a few men too!

Women control more than two thirds of household monies. Sometimes they put some of it into crowdfunders they support.

And - shock, horror - women are able to design flyers, make videos, create websites, do research.

What a terrifying thought if the idea of non-compliant women makes you angry.

stems from not seeing women as actual people I guess. we must be being funded and manipulated by real people (a.k.a. men)

God Christine Burns sounds unhinged. 'I'm told that some of these organisations are fronts for conservative groups'

translation: any woman who disagrees with me is part of a nasty conspairacy

I wonder if Rhiannon is afraid the evil terfs are going to go after her new venture? If you're not spreading damaging bullshit, Rhiannon, you have nothing to worry about in that respect

But, but, but, why would any woman accept money from an anti abortion group?

This is conspiracy shite. And it's low by conspiracy shite standards.

See me after class stuff. FFS.

Christine needs to lie down in a dark room.

Then smell some roses. Real roses.

The Irish TRAs have been at this for years, it's pathetic. They're terrified of the sunlight that's pouring in. They know damn well that not wanting your daughter sharing Guides camp, changing rooms and toilets does not make you a right wing Catholic loon.
Middle Ireland was sane and compassionate enough to vote for same sex marriage and abortion. It will not take to having their daughters' rights handed over by a bunch of creepy fucking men who get the horn by dressing up as furry animals. Most of them would peak the nation if they were aired outside their Twitter echo chamber. I look forward to some sweaty Java programmer on the airwaves explaining why Irish women and girls don't get to have privacy or dignity. Fuck them from a great height.

Forget about them, they're idiots.

Read this thread instead it's very funny.

is it possible that someone who has a book being released this week would want to draw attention to themselves via their social media channels where said book is also promoted?

When someone's main reason for being well known is that they say they're something they clearly are not, I let that inform my decision as to the extent I should trust anything else they claim without verified proof.

There was a great Twitter conversation a while back where Burns (I think) and other TRA chums were bemused as to how FPFW had managed to produce professional looking materials and a website. Of course it must be because powerful sinister organisations were involved, rather than because there are plenty of GC copywriters, designers, web experts etc volunteering their knowledge and time. Because as women we can't achieve these things ourselves. The 1970s style sexism was quite telling.

Dear TRAs

You are outnumbered. Get over it.

Love

Women

... rather than because there are plenty of GC copywriters, designers, web experts etc volunteering their knowledge and time.

Ooh! I know! [Sybil's voice]

Some women are even lawyers now, barristers even .. maybe some of them are providing relevant legal advice to these women's organisations voluntarily.

Not this again. It's usually American right wing Christian groups they affiate All GC across the globe with.

Doesn't matter that you've been a Labour card carrying atheist for years, all women are possessed by demons.

It's like when Harrop said all women on here should stick to baking cakes or darning their husband's socks and what would the neighbours think if we were carted off in front of the street (after disagreeing that Brian from 39 is not and will never be Brianne).

It's scary. Regressive. Controlling. Bullshit. Just like all those women that dared to question their lot in Salem had to be possessed. So said men folk.

The issue here is that the TRAs are so separate from the world of women [despite their ridiculous fantasy mantra] that they have no idea about us at all.

YY.

And 100% this.

They forget one vital thing.if you are going to lie. You need a good memory.

They all catch themselves out in the end. We dont need to do a thing...

I never heard of this Rhiannon person but maybe she’s pissed that her photo of herself in a bikini only got 36 likes

We don't need to do a thing...

Exactly so ... these anti-women activists can smear and defame all they want .. it only makes them look more and more ridiculous.

And, they need to remember the Maya Forstater legal fundraiser wherein over £60K was raised in little over 60 hours. So, if legal action was ever required, we can do so again with the same enthusiasm and speed. Hundreds of women contributed to Maya's campaign. It doesn't take much to raise such sums of money where women and their rights are concerned.

These anti-women activists know nothing about women do they?

The Irish TRAs have been at this for years, it's pathetic.

I hate to say it but it's not confined to TRAs. This way of thinking is now rife in Ireland. During the run up to the referendum to repeal the 8th (the abortion referendum), both sides accused the other side of being funded by shadowy types from America. Irish leftie Twitter has lost the ability to believe that any decent human being could possibly disagree with the hive mind. (As for Irish rightwing Twitter, needless to say, they're nuts too.)
