Maya Forstater court case

[Bardonnay]

Sorry to link to the DM but they've covered Maya Forstater's upcoming court case here:
https://mol.im/a/7683207.

Maya's account of events is here and her post links to updates about the case: https://medium.com/@MForstater/i-lost-my-job-for-speaking-up-about-womens-rights-2af2186ae84

The twitter thread says that the case will run into the new year

My correct pronouns are they/ them. It was 6 tweets of Maya propagating anti trans propaganda, incl. cartoon comparing trans people to flashers, and comparing the use of pronouns to date rape

This can't be referring to the rophynol post as the timing is surely not right.

I wonder if the street violence wing claim is from when some women leafletting against self id spoke to some lads on bikes in Moss Side, and because it is a well known fact that the lower classes are irredeemably violent the privileged twerps of the TRA movement decided they must be inciting them to beat up trans people as opposed to, y'know, just fill in the consultation.

Countess yes that is what the street violence wing in Clair's witness statement is referring to.

I don't understand the last tweets in the thread. What is Clair accusing Maya of doing? There was a panel and Clair stepped down from it due to something Maya said? Can anyone explain?

The hearing will probably finish today or tomorrow. Judgement will be reserved ie not delivered straight away. From the tweet sounds like that will be in the new year.

Maya lost her job in March 2019, Barracker's Rophynol comparison was in May 2019.
So the timing is wrong, just like a lot of other things about this case

Would anyone mind linking to the Twitter thread that is now reporting?

Maya lost her job in March 2019, Barracker's Rophynol comparison was in May 2019.

So either they're talking about something else, or clutching at straws which are actually outside the date range?

I don't know what Maya tweeted, it could be something like the research on cotton ceiling.

Why is Clair a witness anyway? Did they work for the think tank or have they been called in as a representative trans person to say that Maya's tweets were transphobic?

I forgot that one!

Incitement of violence by women Shon Faye October 2018.

yes that is what the street violence wing in Clair’s witness statement is referring to

Wait, what? Really?

JFC - how classist can you get?

Clair can’t distinguish/understand the difference between sex and gender.

Clair says Clair hasn’t read the documents referred to in Clair’s witness statement FUBAR on the part of the employer’s solicitors who put together the witness statement. Judge not at all happy.

Tut, tut.

(And thank you SO much for updates, Pygmy!)

C slagging off the Daily Telegraph and now calling Sharron Davies “dangerously ignorant”

Thanks Pygmy.

Clair sounds like Clair will help peak the judge no end

Wow now Sharron getting it

Where is this being live tweeted please? Cheers.

Countess, I wondered that as well. Also, what is the evidence of ‘street violence wing?’ What Manchester incident?

Clair Quentin is perfect!

Both these dudes are so sure identity politics are real that they are not even bothering to try.

Clair: “Maya is obsessed with penises. It creeps me out.”

Good grief. What an offensive thing to say!
