Sorry to link to the DM but they've covered Maya Forstater's upcoming court case here:

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

Object has tweeted that Quentin said that nobody is being given puberty blockers by the Tavistock, that it's an invention of the right wing press (!)

That is the easiest fucking thing in the world to show to be a lie.

How does this work? - can the judge only go on things said and presented in court, or are they able to do their own research into the truthfulness / correctness of the evidence?

Object has tweeted that Quentin said that nobody is being given puberty blockers by the Tavistock, that it's an invention of the right wing press (!)

Erm...it's what the Tavistock do. Even they admit it.

Wait. The argument is that women handing out leaflets discussing their rights is a 'street violence wing'?

I mean... how do you even summon the energy to 'argue' against such a facile pathetic viewpoint? Surely we should just supply everyone with Jammy Dodgers to hand out?

I am finding it hard to follow the tweets (yes I really do need a primary school book where they have a hoto of the speaker next to their word!). Is there the 'dummys guide' to follow anywhere?

Ooft, that’s just outrageous lies! In court!!! That can’t be allowed to stand surely.

Honestly, it's absolutely breathtaking.

I can't wait for the press report this.

Isn’t telling lies in a courtroom against the law, or is this another case of not questioning someone else’s reality?

Unless either I misunderstood Object's tweet, or they didn't reflect what Quentin said accurately...

I can't wait for the press report this.

You’re optimistic

Object tweet:

"ML [Maya's lawyer, I presume] You tweeted about an event 'I realise the organisers want a token right winger at these events but can't you get a speccy wonk not an anti-trans bigot?'
You were bullying Maya not vice versa."

"Speccy wonk". Well Clair is just a fount of tolerance, isn't Clair?

Isn’t telling lies in a courtroom against the law - well, no. Generally one side is always telling porkies, surely?

I'm holding out for the stage musical, personally.

'Speccy' - visualist bigot! myobaphobic!

I've been looking out for any early evening news stories coming through on this, nothing as yet, but I did find this which I thought was amusing!

(Have any of us written this?!)

Is that a direct quote from Clair’s tweet😱 they sound delightful...

I hope any untruths about the about the Tavistock are being challenged.

I'm holding out for the stage musical, personally.

If it riffed on Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, would it be a comedy of manners or a comedy of errors?

What is a ‘speccy wonk?’

What is a ‘speccy wonk?’

A journalist who writes for the Spectator about the political economy.

A wonk is someone who is policy expert and speccy means wearing glasses.

Are records kept of what is said in court? And can the public access them?

A policy nerd who wears glasses,

sort of what Clair might be if they were a man.
