I stand with Allison Bailey

[TinselAngel]

It increasingly feels like we should treat witch hunts against individual women as attacks on women as a class.

I thought women here might appreciate a thread to show their support for Allison. I don't know her personally, but I believe in all women's right to free speech.

I stand with Alison.

I stand with Alison Bailey.

Absolutely.

I am very much against witch hunts

could you summarise what's happened?

As do I. And as does The Times: www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lesbian-barrister-my-bosses-bowed-to-transgender-hate-mob-shm6x09v8

Time for a few cards sent to her care of Garden Court, perhaps?

I too stand with Allison and I very much feel as you do Tinsel that these attacks in women by selfish, privileged men feel like their attempt to silence all women.

I too

They are - pack hunting theory, I think.

So we need to be more Navy SEALS - no woman left behind.

I stand with her, absolutely.

could you summarise what's happened

Allison is a barrister (who also happens to be a black, working class lesbian) who is currently being hounded out of her job by a hate mob led by the likes of Owen Jones, for the crimes of being gender critical, being part of the new LGB Alliance and chairing a Woman's Place meeting.

I stand with Allison Bailey.

Horrifying to know that her chambers aren’t defending her in public.

Thank you Allison, if you’re reading this. I should imagine you hoped for more from your colleagues. Hope you find a safe way forward.

I stand with Allison. Sending a card today.

That’s sickening, but such a high profile case will help raise public awareness, regarding policy capture. I stand with Allison Bailey.

I also stand with Alison Bailey, it's disgraceful that she has been treated like this

Thus proving the need for the LGB Alliance. Basically.

I stand with Allison.

Awful - death threats and bullying. I stand with Allison.

She chaired the WPUK meeting on Friday?

She publicly thanked the TRAs outside for not being violent or intimidating.

Which I think should be unnecessary. We shouldn't be thanking people for not violently intimidating us. It should be a given.

Women have the right to freely assemble, just like everyone else. Women have the right to define themselves as a distinct category under the Equality Act, and not include transwomen. People have the right to assemble and campaign without centering the 'T' all the time.

@teawamutu Is it Garden Court Chambers in London, postcode WC2A 3LJ? I will sent a support card for Allison.

Allison 💪💪🥇

Allison Bailey is incredible.

Solidarity to you Allison, if you see this 💚💜

And I am sorry that your Chambers do not have a stiffer spine. Such fearless defenders of freedom of speech and association (not).

I stand with Allison!

I stand with Allison Bailey.

I thank her for her courage and conviction. What a woman.

I'm sorry she's having to ensure such abuse.

endure bloody keypad!

I stand with Allison Bailey.

Perhaps she thanked the TAs for not being violent and intimidating as a way of pointing out their usual MO?
